There was a recall on this vehicle. I took it to a local dealer to be fixed. Had classic "no airbag, no horn, no cruise" symptoms. Dealer replaced airbag clockspring, but did not fix the problem of "no airbag". The dealer's stance is "we don't troubleshoot, we only replaced the part. " they let the vehicle leave their service department in an unsafe condition without notifying the customer of an issue, which was only discovered after the vehicle was picked up. Dealer refuses to replace clockspring, and insists on a diagnostic fee to troubleshoot an issue that I have already diagnosed myself. I ended up having to obtain a replacement clockspring on my own, and fit it to the vehicle. The airbag, horn, and cruise control now work on the vehicle. Chrysler refuses to do anything about it.

Please note an error on my part entering data into odi #10073098: in the description, replace "/pwr. Steering failure" with "cruise control failure". I incorrectly typed 'pwr. Steering' in probably because I was so enraged that I had to pay the dealer one day's pay to fix their (christler's) problem that is an obvious defect and should not be my responsibility. Is the $240. 00 I paid to them the penalty the average consumer must pay to account for their engineering defects and ignorance? or is the real penalty the potential loss of my or one of my family member's lives for driving defective junk? .
