THE INSURANCE SOMPANY AGENT INDICATED THEY TOTALED OUT THE CAR DUE TO AN AIR BAG ISSUE. THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSED THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO TURN ON, THEY ALSO INDICATED THE THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND A SEATBELT MODULE.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORC RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED, BRAKES SKIP THEN POP BEFORE STOPPING TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO GET INSPECTED NONE OF THEM COULD FINE AN ISSUE INCLUDING DODGE DEALERSHIP. FRONT DOOR CAN NOT BE SHUT BEFORE BACK DOOR OR IT WILL SCRATCH BACK DOOR. OIL LEAK FROM ENGINE GASKET AND ENGINE PAN. POPPING IT STEERING COLUMN AND SHAKING WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. AGAIN DEALERSHIP AND 4 OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE POPPING IT THE STEERING COLUMN AND JUMPING AND SKIP IN THE BRAKES BEFORE STOPPING. THE BRAKE ISSUE HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENS MAINLY ANY SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN LETTING GO GAS OR BRAKE NO TURNING GOING STRAIGHT.

VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS,RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE ORC RECALL DEALER ADVISED THAT'S NOT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, HES HAD MULTIPLE OTHER DODGE AVENGERS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE SED ME TO CONTACT DODGE AND FILE A COMPLAINT. I DID READ TODAY THAT 2012+ DODGE AVENGERS HAVE CAME UP WITH ANOTHER RECALL THAT HAS TO DO WITH AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BESIDE FILE A COMPLAINT. IVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL SKIP BEFORE STOPPING (ITS REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN). IVE BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS JENSEN TIRES, TIRES PLUS, BRAKES PLUS, AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES. ALL OF THEM HAVE PERFORMED A FULL INSPECTION ON VEHICLE AND SAID EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES GOING AROUND 45-60 MPH, TURNING AT 15-20 MPH AND GOING UP HILL AROUND 15 MPH (DODGE SAYS THATS NORMAL FOR DODGES). CAR WILL CLUNK WHEN PUTTING IT IN D,R,P (DODGE SAYS ALL DODGES MAKE THAT SAME NOISE). CAR IDLES ROUGH WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, ROLLING AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT (DODGE SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR DODGE VEHICLES TO DO THAT WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE). IM GOING TO TRYING TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER FULL INSPECTION AND IF THEY DON'T FIND THESE ISSUE I WILL BE JUNKING THIS VEHICLE, ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ITS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL.

I GOT A LETTER IN MAIL NOV 2016 ABOUT A RECALL. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO PARTS TIL AT LEAST JUNE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A FAMILY IN THIS CAR. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW OR CONTACT ME AND GIVE ME A NEW CAR OR RENTAL WAITED LONG ENOUGH . MY CAR ALSO MAKES A NOISE THE COMPANY SAID ALOT OF THE CARS DO IT THEN WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED. IT IN THE HEATING SYSTEM. I LOVE MY CAR BUT NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IT IN AND WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING DODGE TO ANYONE FROM NOW ON. THE NOISE HAPPENS 24/7 CAR ON OR OFF. THE RECALL IS FOR AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAFETY THAT IS A BIG DEAL. SO WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING TO HELP ANYONE WITH ONE OF THESE VEHICLES?? I WORRY EVERYTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN IT IF WE ARE EVEN SAFE. RECALL ISSUED IN NOV 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I RECEIVED A RECALL BACK ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM FCA. I CONTACTED FCA REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST AND CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF CONTACT AND ITS NOW APRIL 24TH 2017. I HAVE EMAILED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE OF MY VEHICLE ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITH NO SAFETY RECALL ISSUES OR COMPLETE MY RECALL. HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. I WENT TO DODGE AND ASKED WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED, THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND COULD ONLY DO IT NOW IF IT WAS SAFETY RELATED. "WHICH IT CLEARLY IS." I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO ENSURE I AM DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE. IT IS CLEAR DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO ENSURE THE DRIVERS OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE. I'M WRITING ON HERE IN HOPES TO GET HELP TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED OR GET A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS DODGES OBLIGATION TO FULFILL ONE OF THESE. I WILL CONTINUE TO CONTACT EVERYONE I POSSIBLE CAN TO MAKE SURE DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND TO SOLVE DODGES PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT WAS REPORTED PRIORITY REPAIRS WOULD BE GIVEN TO VEHICLES IN WARMER CLIMATE STATES. SINCE RECEIVING MY NOTICE MANY MONTHS AGO AND REGISTERING AS REQUESTED, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CONTACT FROM THE MOPAR REPAIR LOCATION ON EXPECTED PARTS REPLACEMENT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER BACK IN NOVEMBER 2016. I CALLED THE RECALL COMPANY LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND INFORMED THEM OF THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY DID. GREAT!! I THEN CALLED STOCKTON DODGE AND INFORMED THEM IF THE SAME INFORMATION IN WHICH I GOT THE SAME ANSWER. I WAS PRETTY UNDERSTANDING AT FIRST. THEN TWO MONTHS PASS AND NO CALL OR EMAIL. I THEN CALL BOTH BACK AND GET THE SAME ANSWER. AGAIN TRYING TO BE UNDERSTANDING. AT THIS POINT I STARTED RESEARCHING THE RECALL AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOVE. I ASKED SEVERAL OUTSIDE SOURCES AND THEY INFORMED ME IF IT WAS SAFETY RELATED. (WHICH IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IT IS) TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMAND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED. AT THIS POINT IT'S TWO MONTHS LATER AND I HEAD OVER TO STOCKTON DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM . ALSO AT THIS POINT MY SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT IS JAMMED AND THE END IS STUCK BUCKLED. I GO INTO THE SERVICE CENTER AND INFORM THEM THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. I ALSO INFORM THEM IF THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT THE PARTS AREN'T IN AND THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE IT DONE NOW IS IF IT IS SAFETY RELATED. THEY PULL UP THE RECALL, SCANNING IT AND TELL ME IT'S NOT SAFETY RELATED. I WAS AMAZED BY WHAT I HEARD. THEN THE ONE SERVICE WORKING TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO CHECK MY SEAT BELT AT THE TIME. I THEN ASKED THE INDIVIDUAL HOW IT WASN'T SAFETY RELATED WHEN THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY MY AIRBAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY AND MY CARS SEAT BELT WAS ALREADY NOT WORKING. HE LOOKED AT ME WITH A BLANK STARE AND AGAIN TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. I LEFT PRETTY UPSET. HOW DOES A COMPANY SELL U A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE, THEN KNOWING IT'S NOT SAFE' DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS. TILL THIS DAY MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

I WAS IN A RECENT ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED OVER $4,500 IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER. I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRAVELLING AT OVER 20MPH AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I BRACED MYSELF AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AND THANKFULLY WAS NOT INJURED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RESTRAINT. THE POLICE OFFICER ON SCENE WAS BEWILDERED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED, AND I'M NOT CERTAIN THEY WOULD WORK OR NOT WITH THE ACTIVE RECALL DUE TO THE TWO MAIN SAFEY FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS BEING "TESTED" BY DODGE/CHRYSLER GROUP BUT THEY HAVE YET TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE TILL THEY DEEM THE CAR IS IN FACT SAFE TO DRIVE AND OPERATE. I REFUSE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR IN THE EVENT I'M IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT AND THE TWO SAFETY DEVICES I RELY ON DO NOT WORK. DODGE/CHYSLER IS REFUSING TO ANSWER ANY INQUIRIES I HAVE AND I AM TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM AT THIS TIME.
