1969 Dodge C Body Airbags Problems

MY 2005 DODGE PICK UP TRUCK 1500 RAM VIN: 5J602436 WAS TAKEN IN FOR A URGENT RECALL FOR AIRBAG LAST YEAR AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED IN A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN BAYAMON PUERTO RICO, HOWEVER I HAD A DIRECT COLLISION WITH ANOTHER DRIVER AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT I RECEIVED WHIP LASH AND I BENT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ATTEMPED NUMEROUS TIMES TO REPORT THIS BUT NO ONE HAS HANDLED THE SITUATION FROM THE TOOL FREE NUMBER 18335850146. I ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED.I CAN BE REACHED AT THIS NUMBER

SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT IS A SEAT DEPLOYMENT ELECTRICAL WIRING ISSUE THAT NEEDS REPAIRING CALLED LEFT SEAT WIRING HARNESS AND HARNESS TO THORAX AIR BAG. WE WERE TOLD THE COST TO REPAIR $525 PLUS ADDITIONAL FOR LABOR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CAR IS 2012 DODGE CHARGER SE WITH 80,904 MILES

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE JOURNEY AND HAVE HAD MANY ISSUE. FIRST THE ALIGNMENT HAS ALWAYS GONE TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE NAV AND COMPUTER MUSIC SYSTEM. THE NEWEST AND WORST ISSUE IS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS HAS STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME AND THE SERVICE SAID THEY REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS GOING 40 DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. BOTH TIMES THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THE KEY IS IN. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP AND I AM AFRAID THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT GOING TO WORK. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE HIT AND INJURED. I HAVE 4 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS. DODGE/CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP AND FOR A CAR LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, I FEEL IT SHOULD WORK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

I HAVE A 97 DODGE RAM THAT STARTED CRACKING AROUND 2004 AND HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE. AS A RESULT I HAVE A TERRIBLE LOOKING INTERIOR AND I BELIEVE MY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE A TESTAMENT OF THE DASHBOARDS EXPOSING MY ELECTRICAL WIRING TO THE SUN. THE ONLY WAY TO HALFWAY FIX IT I'VE FOUND IS TO MOUNT FORMICA SQUARES(NOT CHEAP MIND YOU) OVER THE WHOLES WITH MOUNTING SQUARES, THOUGH IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. MY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: POWER DOOR LOCKS THAT ONLY UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND POWER WINDOWS THAT ONLY WORK HALF THE TIME AND A CUPHOLDER THAT HAS FALLEN OUT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND CAUSED ME TO RIG BACK INTO PLACE. OF COURSE BESIDES INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING A LOUSY DASH THAT STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE ON A USUALLY SOUND TRUCK, I AM AFRAID OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS IT CAN BRING I.E.: WORSE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYING WHEN IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO OR NOT DEPLOYING WHEN THERE IS NEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE STRATUS SXT ALONG ON A GRAVEL ROAD ON OCT 12 2008 AND HAD A DEER RUN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I SWERVED TO AVOID THE DEER MY LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW AND CAUSED MY CAR TO END UP IN A DITCH. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 35 TO 40 MPH, NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS DESTROYED TO INCLUDE THE FRONT BUMPER COVER, BOTH FRONT FENDERS, THE HOOD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE VEHICLE DUE TO $5900 WORTH OF DAMAGE. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND I HAVE 55,000 MILES ON IT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STAYS ON. THE BOOK SAID TO GET IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY SO I CALLED A DEALERSHIP THAT IS 30 MILES ONE WAY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $79.00 TO LOOK AT IT AND IT WOULD COST UP TO $300.00 IF THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS BAD. I THEN CALLED A LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD CHECK IT FOR $49.00 AND THEY DID. THE RT FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS INDEED BAD. IT HAD CORROSION INSIDE IT. THE TOTAL BILL MIGHT COME TO $150.00 OR MORE. I CHECKED ON LINE AND SEE, THERE WAS A DODGE/CHRYSLER RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL FOR CORROSION GETTING IN THE SENSOR AND CAUSING THEM TO FAIL (WHICH IS THE SAME THING MY 2006 DID) WHY ISN'T THE 2006 MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IF IT GETS PUT ON A RECALL LIST THEN I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER WHERE I HAD IT FIXED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2001 STRATUS R/T USED. NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER I HAD BOUGHT IT, I HAD TO PAY OVER $100 TO GET IT TO IDLE RIGHT. THEN I WAS IN A NOT-AT-FAULT ACCIDENT 6 MOS. LATER WITH OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGES TO THE FRONT END AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. AFTER THE WRECK I HAD TO PAY OVER $ 1,300 TO GET THE SHOCKS & STRUTS FIXED JUST TO HAVE IT MESS UP NOT EVEN 4 MOS. LATER. IT ALSO AS A ROTTEN ODOR COMING FROM IT OCCASIONALLY. I ALSO PAID ALMOST $200 FOR A NEW BATTERY TO HAVE IT START TO DRAIN NOT EVEN 6-7 MOS. LATER! AND WHEN THE BATTERY HAD TO BE CLEANED, I HAD TO GET IT RE-IDLED AGAIN! NOW IT WON'T STAY STARTED UNLESS YOU'RE GIVING IT GAS. I LOVE THE LOOK, BUT WORST CAR I EVER BOUGHT. AND IT'S NOT EVEN PAID OFF!!!! *E.G.* *TR

ON JAN 22,05 I HAD MY 05' DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAD COME ON, THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED MY SENSOR ALONG W/ MY WIRING HARNESS, WELL ON FEB 26 06 MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP DEAL MAKER SAID I COULD BRING MY CAR IN BUT I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE CHECKED ALONG W/ ANY REPAIR, AND THIS IS BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I DON'T FEEL I AM RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIR ON THIS. NONE THE LESS FOR THEM TO SUPPOSEDLY REPLACE MY SENSOR LAST YEAR, ALONG W/ MY WIRING HARNESS AND SPARK PLUGS BEAUSE OF MISFIRING ETC. TO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN NOV OF 04 AND THEN TO HAVE IT IN ON JAN 05 IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS. I HAVE 40 SOME THOUSAND MILES ON MY CAR. AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD OF BEEN DONE CORRECT THE FIRST TIME. *NM

1. MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON EVERYTIME I WOULD TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO EITHER SIDE. (THIS WAS HOW IT STARTED). THEN I WOULD BE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND IT WOULD COME ON FOR ABOUT 15 MINS., THEN GO OFF. 2. I CALLED THE PLACE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE THIS WAS SCARING ME. I WAS AFRAID THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY THAT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT, IT MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. 3. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE (CLOCK-SPRING) IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH HE SAID, IF HE WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED IT OUT THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN WOULD ALSO STOP WORKING. *JB

WHILE PASSING A VAN ON 4 LANE HIGHWAY WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VAN THAT RAN STOP SIGN AND PUSHED FRONT END OF 1998 DODGE CLUB CAB P/U INTO THE FRONT SEAT AREA. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED RESULTING IN INJURIES TO MYSELF AND STEP SON. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. INFORMED CHRYSLER OF ACCIDENT AND THE RESULTS(INJURIES) AND THEY MORE OR LESS LAUGHED AT ME BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD ALREADY SOLD MY VEHICLE FOR SCRAP. WITHOUT THE VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS ON THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT. I INFORMED CHRYSLER THAT I HAD PICTURES OF THE TRUCK BUT THAT WASN'T SUFFICIENT FOR THEM. THEY ARE SORRY PEOPLE IF THS IS THE WAY THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS AND DO BUSINESS.
