Air Bag problem #1

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. The contact stated that upon his mother entering a gas station at a low rate of speed, she hit a divot in the road which triggered the vehicle's phantom braking to engage without warning. As the vehicle came to a sudden halt, the air bags deployed without incident. Due to the failure, his mother was taken to hospital where she was treated for a concussion as well as multiple injuries to her neck, hips, nose, and right thumb; she also sustained severe burns and bruising to both hand and arms. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the whereabouts of the vehicle are unknown.
