Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v668000 (air bags, seat belts) was received in september of 2016. after contacting the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. the local dealer was not notified. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.

I got into a car accident in may of 2016. my air bags did not deploy, as they should have given the speed i was going. i also was not notified of this recall until later that year. i have called and checked online to see when the parts would be in to have the recall issue solved and i have been told they do not have an eta and the parts aren't available.

I've been notified for sometime now about a recall for my car. nothing has been corrected yet in reference to the airbag and seat belt -constraint controls. what happens if i have an accident with these features still not corrected?

Original owner since 6.28.12 mileage currently 41,145 as of 12.21.15. seat belt front, driver's side slackened and no longer restrains driver. belt will not "lock" when vehicle is in gear. also does not retract any longer, thus making it non-functional. dealer says it will not repair this safety issue, since it was purchased 41 months ago and has 5,100 miles beyond standard warranty. as required safety equipment, and research on internet states, it seems this should be covered for ten years, 100k miles.

Soon after i purchased my 2012 chrysler 200 s the rear safety belts began locking for no apparent reason. the lock was so harsh that the belt would have to be removed and reapplied. the restraint has continuously locked causing the passenger to be pinned to his or her seat. this has happened almost every time there is a passenger in the rear restraint no matter the speed the vehicle is traveling. *tr

Took car in to dealership years ago to have head rest and airbags fixed. received a notice by inputting my vin that these fixes were incomplete . also discovered that the 3.6 pentastar engine from the factory had substandard engine bearings which could result in the engine seizure and the remedy was for the factory to replace the engine. my 2012 chrysler 200 was manufactured during this time frame, yet was never notified by the manufacturer of this dangerous condition.
