On jan 3rd 2019 I had an accident (front impact) and the front airbags deployed - but the biggest problem is - the airbags did not even come close to my face -- it was 10 inches away from my face and immediately defused. I was really appalled and I strongly believe its a defective airbag and it was no way saving my life. Both airbags in the front was the same way. I need help from nhsta to investigate the car and identify if indeed its a defective airbag so we can work with the manaufacturer
Headlights inadequate -only illuminates about 2 or 3 car lengths ahead with a distinct drop off of vision . Highly unsafe as driver cannot see further up highway. Especially unsafe at upper speeds as you are outrunning your head lights. Dealer says this is normal for projected beam headlamps. Dealer tech acknowledged as unsafe condition.
2011 chrysler 200 limited convertible. Consumer writes in regards to headlamp safety issue *tgw the consumer stated she took the vehicle to the dealer to have the headlamps adjusted. The consumer stated she could not see ahead while driving at night. The dealer was unable to find a way to adjust them. Chrysler informed the consumer, there was no adjustment for lamps for the vertical position. It was explained to the consumer that halogen projector headlamps shined differently than the reflective headlamps.
The electrical system started to cut in and out while driving down the highway. As I started to slow down for a stop light the vehicle lost all power. The engine died and there was no lighting. This happened at night and the car could not even turn on the hazard lights. After 15 minutes the car regained power and staryed. The navigation system was not functioning....it was just a bright white screen. After idling for 10-15 more minutes. I shut the car off and restarted it. It has been normal for the paat week.
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.
