Air Bag problem #1

I am filing a safety complaint regarding Chrysler corporate's handling of recall campaign 06d (NHTSA 26v-189) for my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. I received an official corporate notification via mail explicitly stating that parts were now available to remedy this active safety recall. However, when I immediately contacted my authorized Chrysler dealership to schedule the critical safety repair, I was turned away and informed that the parts are completely unavailable and backordered with no estimated release date. Sending out official notices claiming an open safety risk can be fixed when the necessary components are entirely missing from dealer inventory is a highly deceptive and unsafe practice. It causes vehicle owners to waste time coordinating service under false pretenses while forcing us to continue operating family vehicles with known, unaddressed safety hazards. Chrysler must be held accountable for coordinating its corporate communications with actual supply chain availability so owners are not driving compromised vehicles under the false impression that a fix is ready. It is alarming that the post card they just sent me had big letters "urgent safety recall" headline and the recall site says the parts are in and the dealership says they only gets parts to fix 2 a week and it will still be close to 6 months before the parts are available.

Air Bag problem #5

I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding the inadequate rental reimbursement being provided while a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica is undergoing recall repairs (recall no. 226 – ejection mitigation). I took my vehicle to the dealership for recall repairs on March 12, 2026. The dealership does not provide loaner or rental vehicles. Chrysler customer care representatives advised that rental reimbursement would be limited to $60 per day. However, the actual cost of obtaining transportation exceeds this amount. Even a significantly smaller compact vehicle currently costs approximately $69 per day to rent. A comparable vehicle to the Chrysler Pacifica, such as a minivan or similar family-sized vehicle, is substantially more expensive than the reimbursement amount being offered. As a result, a compact vehicle that is significantly smaller and not comparable to the Chrysler Pacifica had to be rented. This vehicle does not meet the same functional needs, comfort level, or standard of transportation normally relied upon. Additionally, the difference between the rental cost and the reimbursement limit must be paid out-of-pocket. This situation creates an unfair financial burden resulting solely from a manufacturer recall that is outside of the consumer’s control. Customer care has been contacted multiple times regarding this matter; however, no resolution or adjustment to the reimbursement limit has been offered. The current policy places additional financial strain on the consumer during the recall repair process. Assistance in reviewing this matter and encouraging a fair resolution would be greatly appreciated.

The contact's mother had rented a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid.
