VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A PERIOD OF WEEKS UNTIL IT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY UNTIL REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THAT THE PART REPLACED IS THE SAME AS INDICATED ON RECALL 13V118000, YET, MY VIN DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL. THE CURRENT FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DUPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THUS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. FURTHER, THE LIGHT WAS ON THE DAY PRIOR TO BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE, ON 9/22, YET THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES. THEY STATE THAT ANY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON, A CODE IS STORED THAT IS NOT CLEARED UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OR THE CODE IS CLEARED BY THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. THUS THE FINDING OF NO CODES STORED IS TROUBLING, AS THERE WOULD BE NO DISCERNIBLE EVIDENCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AS TO WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS FAILING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPAIRED THE ISSUE TWICE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND I HAVE PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS EACH TIME. THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WITH FAULTY PARTS.

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STALL. MANAGED TO GET IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT DIED OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY GOT A NEW ONE TO MOVE FROM THE PARKING LOT. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE PARKING LOT ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY. IT STARTED TO GIVE OUT AND STALL AGAIN SO I PULLED OVER. POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND THE ALTANATOR WAS SMOKING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVEN AFTER I TURNED IT OFF IT STILL SMOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CRACKLINGS LIKE A FIRE LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. MY QUESTION IS IF THERE'S RECALLS ON 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300 ALTANATORS WHY IS THERE NOT ONE ON MY CAR?
