| Consequences |
These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. |
| Corrective action |
Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S43. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-7700. |

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I OBSERVED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS MOVED UP AND DOWN WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AND IT HAS DRAINED A BATTER THAT COST ME 200.00 DOLLARS

I own this piece of crap. It stalled on the freeway and I almost crashed. Took it to the dealershi op in kirkland wa and they said it wasn't the alternator and told me to come pick it up or they will tow it. Worst experience ever. If I wasn't a man of Christ I would do some bad things to those idiot service people that work for them. Do not buy a dodge!!!! Worst service ever.
