2 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2017

(complaint date with NHTSA 5/8/2017) immediately upon having otten Dodge in 16614 pottsville pike, hamburg, PA 19526 do the tanaka airbag recall service, a airbag warning light has become lit (5/4/2017), and hasn't gone out. After filing a complaint with fca customer service I was advised that the dealers are franchise owned and Chrysler has no control over how they do recall installationss. Because a complaint was filed no other local dealer will fix the issue either. Also on 3/20/2017 a service for negotiated between the ntsb, and fca (Chrysler) x53 defective fuel tank replacement. The service was carried out, & the issue is now worse. The fuel tank is no longer vented. Broken evap system. The car was returned to the above dealer service dept for evap fix, and they determined that a charcoal canister was worn/broken & therefore needed replacement @ a cost of $419 this accompanied the tanaka airbag replacement, which I never asked to be done. I immediately had to call fca customer service because despite the dealerships claim that it was fixed, the tank still does not have a functioning vent system ( a major fire risk) also if the airbag light is on and you get in a crash and the bags do not deploy, the highway patrol is allowed to upload your vdr and if they find a fault in the system insurance can deny your claim because the car did not do as designed (example, you break your neck against the wheel cause the bag didn't deploy based on fault, they wont have to pay your medical bills. Non-functioning evap system. . Read more...
