2012 Dodge Journey Airbags Problems

Well I don't know I bought my car from extreme Auto I don't know if he is paying the police off or what to exchange cars or vin numbers but my vehicle has a few of the recalls that are still rolling on the ABS light is coming on the engine Department a few other things that I could not get fixed and they said that it wasn't part of the recall that airbag shelf which is works with the blinkers also because when I had an inspected they had informed me of that previously and there wanting us to get into accident and say that I was driving crazy and basically get away with it and that's what the police does undercover cops use it vehicle similar to mine and I seen it at Johnson County Police Department and I think they lied I had an inspection done and Merriam Auto and it's on file and I would need to go pick that one up that was the first one that I had got done and it should still be in the system and and they paid her off because she no longer works there anymore they refuse to fix it and I paid extreme money for the prior inspections to this one and I also have a contract that I paid $475 to get an oil panel and engine oil cover gaskets put on it purchase the parts off of Amazon in the oil panel he purchased it I don't know why this b**** you want to f*** with me my kids are gone and that was a second opinion they also pulled my vehicle over and ran my VIN number and that is on my kids and my life and my soul the detective said I don't have alternative email

6 WEEKS AGO THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT APPEARED IN MY CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LAFONTAINE IN LANSING, MI) AND THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. THEY DISCOVERED THE WIRING BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE AIRBAG HAD CORRODED. IN SEPTEMBER 26, 2017, OUR CAR'S HEATER CORE EXPLODED ON US AFTER BEING INSTALLED IMPROPERLY EARLIER IN 2017 BY WYSUP CHRYSLER IN PULLMAN, WASHINGTON. IT POURED BOILING HOT WATER AND ANTIFREEZE ON MY HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CORRODED WIRING, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX IT. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AS WE SIT AND WAIT TO SEE IF DODGE CORPORATE, THE BBB, OR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF WASHINGTON STATE WILL HELP US. THE COST TO FIX OUR AIRBAG SENSOR IS $1500.

TAMARA RECALL- MY VEHICLE ISN'T LISTED ON THE RECALL, HOWEVER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS CONSTANTLY. IT IS WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR WHEN BACKING UP. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MESSED UP AS WELL. SOMETIMES MY CHARGING OUTLETS WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR AFTER MY MOTOR WAS REPLACED AT 17,000 MILES BY THE DODGE DEALER BECAUSE IT HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE WERE HOLES IN THE METAL OF THE MOTOR AND OIL WAS SEEPING OUT OF IT. NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE RADIO, ALL CHARGING PORTS, THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN I TAKE IT IN, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP.
