WHEN DRIVING, A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND WE WERE TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH A PLUG UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WHICH BENDS EASILY. IT WAS FIXED, BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE ON VARIOUS SITES SUCH AS GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE PLUG SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT WERE MADE IN 2015 WHICH MINE WAS, BUT THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WASHINGTON ' FIAT-CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 78 2015 CHRYSLER 200 SEDANS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND AIRBAG, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. "DURING SERVICE WORK, THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE HAD EITHER THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE OR THE SEAT CUSHION FOAM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT REPLACED INSTEAD OF BOTH PIECES TOGETHER, WHICH MAKE UP A COMPLETE CALIBRATED SET," NHTSA SAID IN ITS RECALL SUMMARY. "IF BOTH PIECES WERE NOT REPLACED TOGETHER, THE OCCUPANT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CALIBRATED AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY IMPROPERLY DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL, FIAT-CHRYSLER SPOKESMAN ERIC MAYNE TOLD EDMUNDS. THE AFFECTED 200 SEDANS WERE BUILT FROM APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
