ON 3 SEPTEMBER I TOOK MY DODGE CHARGER INTO BUTLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, OF BEAUFORT. SC 29902 (843 524 9696) FOR THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED FOR A RECALL, PERTAINING TO THE SIDE AIR BAGS. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. ON 20 SEPTEMBER, AS I WAS DRIVING THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND IS CONSTANTLY ON. I CALLED BUTLER CHRYSLER, AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT BEING ON IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I TOLD THEM THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I CAME IN, AND IF THEY HAD COMPETENT MECHANIC, THE LIGHT SHOULDN'T BE ON NOW. THEY OFFERED ME A COURTESY CHECK ON THE LIGHT, HOWEVER IN REPAIR IS NEEDED I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SCAM TO PAY FOR A RECALL. I WILL REFUSE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIR TO THE AIR BAG INDICATOR, BECAUSE I DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE LIGHTS COME ON. PLEASE HELP. THANKS,

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR COLLISION SENSORS AND ALARM STARTED GOING OFF RANDOMLY. SHORTLY AFTER, MY CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND THERE WAS NO ELECTIRCAL POWER AND NO POWER STEERING SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO RESTART AND COULD NOT EVEN GET MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR WAS THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND MY CAR WORKS PERFECT NOW. I AM DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALTERNATORS FOR THE V6 VERSION ONLY OF MY CAR. I HAVE READ THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME ALTERNATOR AS THE V6. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF ON THE FREEWAY. WHY WOULD MY V8 CAR NOT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. THE FIRST DEALER WAS ATLANTIC CHRYSLER ON 12/31/14, THEY SAID IT WAS THE BAG IN THE SEAT. THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND IS WAS FINE UNTIL APPROX. MARCH, THEN CAME ON A COUPLE TIMES. IN APPROXIMATELY IN APRIL I TOOK IT TO SPORT HYNDANI DODGE, THEY SAID IT WAS A DIRTY CONNECTION AND CHARGED ME 90.00. THAT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AND IT CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY, NOW CONTINUALLY. TOOK IT TO SPORT TODAY SEPTEMBER 16, FOR A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT FIX THE LIGHT BEING ON, THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE SEAT APART TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED TODAY, DID NOT HAVE THE TIME. HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM ONLY TO GET 3 DIFFERENT DIAGNOSES.
