This vehicle is subject to recall 12V527000. 10 months later, there is no fix from Chrysler. We live in a safety inspection state. This vehicle cannot pass safety inspection with the air bag light on all the time. Our past safety inspection expired 8/31/13. Note that in our state, the safety inspection sticker is much larger than the registration sticker. It's easier for the police to detect expired safety than expired registration. We cannot legally drive this vehicle now & every consumer protection Agency I've called tells me we have no recourse. This vehicle cannot even be sold here, except for parts!!!! we need to have something to drive while Chrysler figures out how this can be fixed, but it seems they're allowed to assign the B team to this problem part-time - as long as they say they're working on it, who cares if a lot of people are stuck with long-term illegal vehicles. This is one heck of a way to treat customers, and there must be some **quick** avenue of redress for us, because we need a car now.

I have a recall on my car I called the car maker the manufacturer told me that the parts were not available this is 8 month ago now my airbag light is lit I called them because the recall state this vehicles has a chance of experiencing an electrical overstress condition! it can damage one of the orc's computer chips this can cause the airbag light to light up and air bag to inadvertent deployment of front airbags increasing the risk of injury or of vehicle crash. I was told to take down to the dealer with the recall that way they can fix it. The part and labor is free of charge I called the dealer and I was told that I have to pay for it up front then reimburse the bill to the manufacturer for them to pay when they can. I do not have thousand of dollars that it will cost to fix the up front for this recall can some one tell me how to fix this problem.
