What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 300. The contact stated that the passenger side tail light fractured without warning. The vehicle was already at the dealer (stephen wade chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat 1724 hilton dr, st george, utah 84770) where it was being serviced for an existing recall. The dealer diagnosed that the stop tail turn lamp failed, which caused the tail light to melt. The tail light needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.
Airbag warning light keeps coming on and staying on for long lengths of time. Recall number no7 was issued for this very thing but chrysler refuses to repair ours as it is 2 months short of manaufactor date. The recall began in april of 2013 and I contend the same parts that initiated this recall are the same parts used in our vehicle. They told me when enough complaints come in they may extend the dates of manufactor for the recall,
