Tl* the contact owned a 2014 Chrysler 200. While driving in the rain, the speed was unknown because the speedometer failed. The contact rear ended the preceding vehicle that had stalled and there were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed.

My 2014 Chrysler 200 is subject to the s61 recall because the air bag and seat belt May not deploy or operate properly in an accident. FCA says it has no fix for the issue, but is comfortable with placing my young daughter's life at risk every time she drives. Apparently it is cheaper for them to pay off in a death than really take care of the issue. They clearly can do something since they offer reimbursement if you have already had the issue fixed and they no longer use that faulty device in their new vehicles. Chrysler's response to wait and see if something happens is totally unacceptable. Chrysler should be forced to take these vehicles off the road and provide compensation to owners even if that is a deal to trade at the customer's benefit for an equivalent car without this issue. …
First I have noticed my car delays and jerks when putting it into gear. This happens mostly in the winter. More recently my car tried to accelerate a couple times while my foot was on the brake. I took it into the dealership to have it repaired and they stated because they could not make the car do the same thing, they could not fix the problem. Second the recall on the air bags and seat belts was first published almost a year ago. This is my only vehicle and I have two children that are placed in that vehicle. I am scared for them as well as anyone that is in my car if I am to get into an accident. This is far too long to know about a problem and not fix it. I was going to trade in my car and try to lease another vehicle. Well now I can not do that as my car is only worth about $5,000 even though it is in excellent condition. I still owe about $12,000. …
Received recall on airbag and seat belt issue in sept 2016 and dealerships still do not have parts to repair this issue. The airbag light recently came on in my car so I took it in to tom o'brien Chrysler, indpls, in 46240. They informed me that they would have to possibly charge $125 diagnostic fee to determine whether it's this issue or not. Regardless, the owner's manual says it's dangerous and should be addressed immediately. Mean while I am driving an unsafe vehicle til parts are available, which May or May not be available in June. Chrysler should provide a vehicle until my car can be repaired. This must be going on at a national level. Why hasn't this been addressed before now? I need my car everyday. I am also traveling the end of May out of state and cannot drive an unsafe vehicle. I am unable to fly, I have meniere's disease. …
I was notified by mail that the occupant restraint controller was causing a loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability during a crash. I called Chrysler and was told that the parts would not be available to fix my vehicle for 2-5 months. I explained that this is the only vehicle that I own and I have a child riding with me. I drive at least 50 miles per day and I felt unsafe driving knowing this about my vehicle. They said there was nothing that they could do and that they would notify me when the parts became available. If there is a known problem that the seatbelts and airbags are not working properly in the event of a crash I feel as if they need to offer a option for the vehicle owners who use this vehicle as their daily driver. I feel as if they are not taking into consideration the safety of my daughter and I in the event of a crash.
