1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2020

My engine light came on. We got the machine attached the code read po520 engine oil pressure sensor circuit. When we called the dealership they said it wasn't under warranty any longer and wouldn't repair. While I researched we found a technical service bulletin that was issued prior to the warranty expiration. The oil sensor should have and could have been replaced prior to the warranty expiring if the dealerships were mandated to notify and fix all repairs related to defective parts. During my research we found that the passenger side airbag is a recall in extended warranty status. Regardless if we got the extended warranty it is illegal for a dealership to sell a used vehicle with a defective airbag or a recall. It is also illegal for me not to get it fixed or my registration can be revoked. I should not be responsible for this cost to repair either of these items. I am just asking you to please take these issues seriously and to have both these parts replaced. If this wasn't bad enough, this time of year, covid and my current financial situation it makes it very difficult for me. Please help me.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/28/2019

I have the 2014 Jeep Wrangler with only 47000 miles. I have kept excellent care of this vehicle and it is used only as daily driver with no abuse whatsoever. Just within the month of 2/2019 a code; p0305 misfire developed with the typical penastar engine "knock" and idling rough. Also, the last week of 2/2019 there was a large oil spot on my garage floor due to an oil cooler/oil housing leak. We immediately contacted the service supervisor at the dealership who stated that this has been a common occurance and the oil cooler/housing unit is replaced often. How it is possible that Chrysler can allow this? at 47000 miles this should never happen and is enexceptable. Until this extensive repair is completed the vehicle is is rendered useless and my job is now interrupted. Now in addtion to the misfire I now have this huge oil leak to contend with; please refer to the picture attached of the oil stain that was discovered on my garage floor. . . . The entire bottom of the of my transmission/bell housing and cross member covered in oil. Moreover I just received an letter informing me that the passenger side air bag also is recalled and I have yet to address this as well. I will never purchase another Chrysler product again. I can't tell you the level of disappointment and betrayal I feel for buying an "american made" car. I hope Chrysler/fiat corperate is enjoying short changing the consumer buy using inferior and faulty parts to save money and rip off the consumer this way. I am sure no one cares and I am just wasting my time but this should be noted and people made aware.

3 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2017

One day after leaving my 9 hour shift at work, I walked up to my Jeep and could see that the driver side airbag had deployed at some point during the day. Not knowing much about airbags I walked around the Jeep to see if it been hit, no damage of any kind. I've since learned that airbags don't deploy on parked vehicles unless they are running. I called the dealership where I originally purchased (new) my Jeep. They told me to have it towed to the shop and they would investigate. After asking me if the vehicle had been hit, they said maybe a rabbit or some other rodent ate through some wiring. Their investigation did not uncover anything (no wiring issue, no codes, nothing) and they wanted to call in Chrysler engineering and possibly an inspector due to their access to additional diagnostic capabilities. After I asked for a loaner vehicle since this was now going to take several days, they called me back and said they had permission to replace the "now deemed defective airbag". The 2014 model year was not included in any of the takata recalls, nor was the issue similar to the takata recall or the coil spring recall. Thank god I wasn't going 75 down the highway when the airbag decided to spontaneously deploy. Its going to take a while to get over the fear of driving this vehicle after the airbag is replaced and this possibly happening again since they can't explain what happened. 2014 Wrangler unlimited rubicon 25,620 miles vehicle was stationary (parked) not running for the previous 9 hours at a secure facility with 24 hour video monitoring.
