What owners wrote

I have had a miss fire from the engine since I bought it. Taken it back to the dealer for service and had the PCM reprogramed, trans serviced and still the problem persists. Now the check engine light is on again and the trouble code are saying bad plug-wire or coil pack. Last time it went in they said it was a bad plug and wire on cyl. 4.

Airbag warning light lit. Looked up on NHTSA website, chrysler issued a"safety improvement campaign" copy enclosed. I took my van to the dealer to have it fixed plus a new key and a recall notice for a fuel/stalling problem. I was informed that the airbag problem was not covered because of the VIN number. The van was purchased in mass. And I purchased it in rhode island. I donot think I should have to pay 216.61 dollars to have this fixed. Thank you
