What owners say

Verbatim reports filed with the United States safety regulator (NHTSA) by owners of this exact model year. Public record.

Manufacturer and dealer failed to remediate safety recall after seven weeks under the pretense that the dealer is not authorized to order more than 2 parts every 7 days. But I am not aware of a federal, state, nor county regulation establishing such restriction. The restriction thus seems to be self-imposed and therefore under the control of the manufacturer.
My local dealer, Dan Deery Motors, Waterloo, Iowa, said these airbag repairs are on a waiting list which is now over a year out! Which means I'll be driving with faulty airbags for at least a year! This is simply not acceptable! Is it?
My Chrysler Pacifica was parked in my driveway, and I went out and heard a large boom and my panoramic sunroof shattered. This is a known problem with panoramic sunroofs especially Chrysler. The weather was warm and sunny. This is a no impact incident and a safety related glass failure. I have several photos and am waiting for the Dealer and Chrysler customer care to open today.
