NHTSA Complaint #11389687 — 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO LETTERS FROM FCA US LLC. THE FIRST INDICATED THAT A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG'S THE LOGO, WHEN DEPLOYED, COULD CAUSE INJURY. THE SECOND, JUST RECEIVED, STATES; 'WE ARE EXTENDING THE ACTIVE RESTRAINT WARRANTY PERIOD BECAUSE SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT(EMPHASIS MINE) OF ONE OR BOTH OF THE FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT(S). THIS, IN MY OPINION, MEANS THAT I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT HAS TWO BOMBS ON BOARD THAT COULD DETONATE AT ANYTIME. THIS IS HUGE SAFTEY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSIT IN A HIGH SPEED DRIVING ENVIRONMENT. FCA NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED TO DISABLE THIS 'SAFETY SYSTEM' SO THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE SAFELY USED WHILE PARTS ARE ORDERED TO REPLACE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE LOST OF LIFE BY AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS LOSS OF LIFE IN A HIGH SPEED, CONGESTED ENVIRONMENT. WHO WOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH A SCENARIO? FCA, OR THE PEOPLE WHO CONTINUED TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES AFTER HAVING BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION? THE NHTSA NEEDS TO PROTECT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LIMITED MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND WHO WILL BE FORCED TO USE OUR VEHICLES, KNOWING THAT WE ARE AT RISK AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND US. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. I RECOMMEND THAT FCA BE REQUIRED TO DISABLE THIS 'SAFETY'FEATURE, ORDER THE PARTS TO FIX IT ASAP INSTEAD OF KICKING THE SAFETY CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR THE OWNERS TO DEAL WITH LATER AND AT THEIR EXPENSE. A CAREFUL READING OF THIS NOTICE IS CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS FCA'S STRATEGY TO AVOID THE COSTS OF AN IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF THEIR FAULTY COMPONENTS. I, AS WELL AS OTHERS, ARE COUNTING ON THE AGENCY TO PROTECT US FROM THIS THINLY DESIGNED SCAM AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION, CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON MY BEHALF AND THOSE OF OTHERS.
