NHTSA Complaint #10266862 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

THERE WAS REALLY NO EVENTS TO THIS FAILURE, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT 2005 CHRYSLER 300'S ARE KNOWN FOR. ONE DAY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR AND I TRIED TAKING OFF THE FUSE TO SEE IF IT WAS GOOD, WHICH IT WAS, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. I READ ONLINE VARIOUS FORUMS AND APPARENTLY THE 2005 300'S ARE KNOWN FOR THAT TO GO OFF BECAUSE THE HARNESS IN THE STEERING MODULE IS TOO SHORT AND UNPLUGS OR GOES BAD. WE HAD TO REPLACE THAT MODULE WHICH COST $33.00 PLUS LABOR FROM A MECHANIC WHICH WAS ANOTHER $100. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $250, AND THE PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR
