TAKATA RECALL WENT INTO HAYS DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA ON MONDAY MORNING 10/31/16 WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AND ASK IF I CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT FIX AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME UNTIL CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO 'FIX THE PROBLEM' WHAT ABOUT THE LEMON LAW ON VEHICLES THIS PROBLEM IS ONE OF THEM. CHRYSLER ADVERTISE ALONG WITH OTHER CAR DEALERS ON HOW SAFE THEIR CARS ARE WHICH IT SEEM NONE OF THE CARS ARE SAFE ANYMORE DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP MAKE CHEAP TO CUT COST NO MATTER WHOM IT WILL EFFECT AND WAY OVERPRICED, IF YOU BROUGHT A WASH MACHINE, DRYER OR REFRIGERATOR IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OR ANY DEFECT ITEM THE COMPANY WILL FIX IT OR REPLACE IT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THE HONORABLE THING 'FIX THE PROBLEM' OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN ASAP! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE MY VEHICLE FIX AND GETTING NO WHERE WITH THIS WAITING TO 2023 IS NOT THE ANSWER HERE.

THE SEAL AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS LEAK CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT RAINS OR GOING THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC CAR WASH! I'VE HAD THE SEAL REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND IT STILL LEAKS!

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011. WHEN I FIRST HIT A DEPRESSION IN THE ROADWAY IT FELT LIKE I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. I JUST BRUSHED IT ASIDE THINKING THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INSTANCE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE CAR, I WAS COMING BACK ON HIGHWAY 80 FROM TAHOE DOWN TO THE VALLEY. THE GROOVES IN THE ROAD HAD ME WHITE KNUCKLED DRIVING, AS I PRETTY MUCH FELT THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN A 65 MPH ZONE, I WAS DOING 40 IN THE SLOW LANE TO TRY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THAT CAR ON HIGHWAY 80 ANYMORE, AND WHEN I KNOW THERE ARE DEPRESSIONS AND SLIGHT HIGHWAY PAVEMENT ROUGHNESS DURING MY EVERY DAY COMMUTE, I AM SURE TO GRAB THE WHEEL TIGHTLY, AS I KNOW ALL THE AREAS ALONG MY COMMUTE THAT MAKES DRIVING OVER THOSE SPOTS SHAKY. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CHECK THIS VEHICLE OUT. IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SELL IT BECAUSE IT FEELS UNSAFE, BUT A DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE ME WHAT THE BLUE BOOK IS WORTH, AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT SELLING TO A PRIVATE PARTY DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. BY THE WAY, I FOUND OUT THE STRUTS HAVE BEEN LEAKING (UNDER 40K MILES!!!) AND THAT IS A COST OF 1,441.00. THIS CAR REALLY IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT FIND ANY LEMON LAWS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT DID FIND SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, I BELIEVE I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS. ANOTHER HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A NEW YORK STATE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE DASH WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON/OFF, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO LOW GEAR, THE RADIO, AC AND OTHER ELECTRONICS TURNED OFF. THE CAR STALLED RIGHT THERE IN TRAFFIC. WE HAD TRIED SHIFTING GEARS, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO ANYTHING. WE DID MANAGE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A MINUTE, WE ATTEMPTED AND WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT IT STALLED OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, AND DRIVE IT TO A GARAGE LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY. IT DID STALL ON US AGAIN, BUT IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE GARAGE. THE MECHANIC AT THE GARAGE TESTED THE BATTERY, AND THE BATTERY WAS FINE ? WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GARAGE LUCKILY BECAUSE THE BATTERY CHARGE HAD THE POWER TO GET US THERE. HOWEVER, ONCE WE GOT THE CAR RUNNING, IDLING, AGAIN; A VOLT-METER SHOWED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING; BUT WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. THE NEW ALTERNATOR IS PART # RL801624AD. WE HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND CHRYSLER RECALL P60. THIS RECALL AFFECTS VEHICLES WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. WHILE MY 200 MODEL IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS THE SAME 3.6L ENGINE AND 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AS THE OTHER MODELS AFFECTED. IN READING THE DESCRIPTION(S) OF THE RECALL AND THE FAILURE I BELIEVE I EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SAME FAILURE HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THE OTHER DAY, AFTER I HAVE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR. I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE HOME, STARTED THE CAR, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND JUST AS I GOT ONTO THE ROAD (BUSY, CITY STREET) MY CAR STALLED WITH ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS ? FLASH OF THE WARNING INDICATORS, LOSS OF ALL POWER. *TR

ONCE I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ENTERPRISE LOT I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WAS NOT STABLE. I CALLED IN FOR THE RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT EFFECTED. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE VIA ENTERPRISE AS PART OF A FLEET. COULD THIS BE THE REASON WHEN I ASKED THEM TO JUST LOOK AT MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD NO BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. VEHICLE STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IF FEEL LIKE YOUR GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR
