Well that blows.
I thought all this was dealt with long ago or are these the new and improved Takata bags? /sarc
At Fiat/Chrysler, quality certainly AIN’T ‘job 1’!
I had a rental for 6 weeks or so while the local Ford dealership waited on airbag replacements for my Ford Edge, rental paid for by Ford. This due to a big airbag related recall toward the end of 2018.
Enterprise gave me a Chevy Equinox LT, good gas mileage and comfortable. At the time I was having to do a lot of interstate driving, so I piled up the miles on the Chevy. Worked out ok for me since I didn’t put the miles on my personal vehicle.
Safer than the SARS2 mRNA vaxes.
Airbags are just one of those “feel good” Democrat inventions for political points.
Good seat belts are good enough, lots safer, and cheaper.
Don’t want to use them? Then you are just another organ donor like motorcyclists that don’t wear helmets.
World needs lots of organ donors.
FIAT. Fix it again, Tony.
I had my airbag replaced by the dealer and later I was rear ended at a traffic light and my car totaled. The seat belt saved me. No airbag went off.
I wonder if they even replaced it??
A little belated but thanks for the post.
In 2008 I took a daughter out to a horse ranch in Arizona to ride around for two weeks while my son and I toured around the west considering a move from Florida to be closer to family in AZ and CA. The little lady (beloved wife of 42 years and change - in case she reads this ;-) stayed home to tend to the animals and homestead.
We put 1800 miles on a Chrysler 300 (nice car) touring AZ, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico without incident. I went to University of AZ in Tucson so we even went to Nogales, MX so I could show my son (14) how things could change just walking a mile across the border.
Missed Sunset Crater (Past visitor hours) but got a good view of it driving around back roads - hey it was a rental and I know how to drive around big rocks and holes ;-)
So all went well but its a weird thought that one little bump could have taken me out so long ago and they’re still “working” on it.
Still in Florida - 43 degrees on the porch, 39 outside our forest - no worries, got a heater under a cocoon of blankets around the desk.
We found paradise in 1993 and can’t find another one so all is well.
Merry Christmas!
