While driving under normal conditions with no collision or impact, the side curtain airbag in my Dodge Charger Scat Pack deployed spontaneously. The deployment caused the headliner and pillar trim to rupture and released what appeared to be metal fragments and more. Occupants sustained scratches and narrowly avoided facial injury. I discovered there’s a recall on this airbag as this is a known issue. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership for diagnosis and repair. During this process, i was informed that the VIN has an active safety recall related to the airbag/SRS system. However, the dealership declined to perform recall-related inspection or repairs due to the vehicle having a rebuilt title. I’m concerned my recall remedy is being denied.

The vehicle was sold under deceptive business practices. I inspected the vehicle and seen the tire (side wall) was badly damaged and the vehicle did not even run as mentioned in the description. The safety was in jeopardy and the seller made false claims for me to believe the vehicle was safe and ready to drive.

The driver side air bag in the roof of the car deployed when the engine was not on, and no one was in the vehicle. The car was parked in the driveway of the insured's residence when the air bag deployed. No visible damage to the exterior of the vehicle indicating a collision. The vehicle has been inspected by the local Dodge dealership (Mac Haik, Georgetown, TX), with no known cause of the air bag failure identified. Damage has been estimated at $6,700 to replace interior parts including the air bag and multiple sensors. Weather was noted by the owner of the vehicle as a potential cause, although research suggests that air bags SHOULD NOT deploy if the car engine is not running, when parked, and no one is in the vehicle regardless of weather conditions. Statements found that a cause could be airbag control module failure, wiring issues, sensor misinterpretation, which should lead to an investigation into the quality and workmanship of parts installed in the vehicle, with no liability for the owner. At no point was there any warning or indication of air bag or sensor failures/malfunctions.

This recall has been open for Almost 6 months. The 2020 Dodge charger SRT (specific trim) on NHTSA site shows zero open recalls. But then the vin shows 1 recall which has been open for 6months. I am told by the dealer the SRT trim for it does not have a recall as even NHTSA shows 2020 Dodge Charger SRT (0 recalls) . Please update this to reflect my vin with no open recalls as it is affecting my work and business with it being either reported incorrectly and not being resolved for almost 6 months now. Greatly appreciate your help.
