 Description of the problemAbout dec. 20, 2019 i was surprised to find the air bag warning light on the dash of my 2015 chrysler 200 when i started it. I went to a mechanic to fix it; but he didn't do that kind of work and recommended another mechanic in a nearby town. I was able to get an appointment yesterday (feb. 17, 2020). The trouble-code was: b0020-13. He called to get the required parts, and was quoted $1,074. 00 plus 7% tax and labor of $100. 00. He looked on computer and found that both sides of the seat-sensor-harness should be calibrated together. In other words, the price doubles to $2. 500. 00 for both seat-sensor-harnasses! It is a "safety issue" that needs to be addressed in a car that is only 5 years and 8 months old (the date of manufacture is april 2015). We looked-up the problem online and found recall # 16v114000 which states that if one seat harness needs to be replaced, then, both must be replaced and calibrated as a single unit, thereby doubling the cost! I called chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 with my vin number and she said that my vin number is not included (actually, the recall only applies to only 78 vehicles). But after telling her that it was a "safety issue" that i couldn't afford to pay for, she gave me a "goodwill assistance case number". I was told that they "might" help; and to call my chrysler dealer and give that number to them. I did so and they said they will call me 'soon'. I don't know what to expect.. They don't like to tell you much; but i'm hoping to have it fixed quickly, in the event of a crash that might disable, or kill, me! Thank you!

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
