2012 DODGE AVENGER Air Bags Problems

I was driving and I stopped at a stop sign. When I got ready to go, the car stalled and stopped and wouldn't start. After 30 minutes, it started but I ended up having it towed. My mechanic was able to replicate it after putting the car in the sun, running it for 10 minutes and then driving it. When the mechanic tried to look at it, he couldn't find anything to cause it to stop. I look it to the dealership. They were unable to replicate it or find the problem. It seems to happen when the car gets hot it stops without warning. Other people in the Dodge Avenger online group have experienced the same thing. The horn also keeps beeping without warning and the airbag sign is on. I think all of these items are connected.

My driver side Headrest suddenly deployed while sitting at a red light. It struck me in the back of my head, this caused me to lurch forward and almost being hit by oncoming traffic. Dodge denied me replacement saying it was out of any warranty. They did not even look at it and told me it would cost me $850 to replace. No warning lights or signs that this was going to happen before it deployed. I still need to call my Insurance company to see what can be done.

THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC) MAY CAUSE AN ILLUMINATED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP DUE TO AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE ORC WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO DEPLOY ACTIVE HEADRESTS (AHR) DURING CERTAIN REAR-END CRASHES.

S61 AIRBAG RECALL- I'VE HAD THIS ISSUES FIXED TWICE ALREADY AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE STANDING AIRBAG LIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASES OF AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT BECAUSE THE S61 RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I SHOULD BE OK, BUT HOW CAN I BE SURE WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FIRST TIME I GOT THIS ITEM FIXED IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME BACK ON. THE SECOND TIME I GOT THIS ISSUE FIXED IT TOOK A MONTH OR SO SO FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO START COMING BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. I'M SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME ON THE ROAD NOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR THE THIRD TIME, BUT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THE ONES WHO DID THE FIRST TWO RECALLS. WHEN I AS FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH SOMETHING IN WRITING INCASE I GET IN A ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY STATING WHY THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT THEY AGREE TO DO SO, BUT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND ANY REPAIRS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETED. IM NOT SURE IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL, JUST HOPING SOMEONE CAN LOOK IT TO IT.

TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES, THIS VEHICLE IS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER, THE MILEAGE THAT I STARTED RECEIVING PROBLEMS WERE PROBALY 67,000 AND 80,000. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES, 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE EGINE LIGHT ALERTED ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT THE CHARGING SYSTEM WAS NOT CHARGING THE ALTERNATOR PROPERLY, THEN IT RESULTED IN BATTERY ISSUES DRAINING THE BATTERY, IF I TURNED MY LIGHTS OR WIPERS ON OR ANYTHING ELECTRICAL THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE. THEN THE CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE, FROM THERE I WAS TOWED TO A CAR MAX. THERE THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE LABOR ON THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE I HAD AN EXTTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE. THE NEXT INCIDENT I HAD TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED AND IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY. TOOK THE CAR TO REPLACE AGAIN ANOTHER ALTERNATOR FAILURE.

OFFICIALLY WRITTEN COMPLAINT REGARDING UNREASONABLE DELAY BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR RECALLED PART. FIRST NOTICE WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AGO, HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG. IN MEAN TIME HAVE RECEIVED 2ND RECALL FOR SEATBELT MALFUNCTION.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE AVENGER THAT OUR SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS MAY NOT WORK IN A CRASH. OF COURSE WE WERE VERY CONCERNED AS THIS WAS OUR ONLY CAR. WHEN WE CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALL FIXED, THEY LIED AND TOLD US IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. WE GOT TIRED OF WAITING AND WENT TO TRADE THIS CAR IN FOR A TOYOTA. WE WERE SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT THIS SAFELY RECALL WAS STAMPED WITH "NO FIX" AVAILABLE. DODGE WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AND WE LOST OVER $7,000 IN TRADE IN VALUE DUE TO THIS "NO FIX" SAFETY RECALL. HOW CAN THESE COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH NOT FIXING SUCH A DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALLS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER?

COMPLAINT REGARDING NHTSA RECALL S61: POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUITING FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND THERE IS NOT REMEDY FOR IT. WHY AM I DRIVING AROUND A CAR WHERE THE AIR BAGS COULD NOT DEPLOY?

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET WITH MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THIS RECALL, BUT AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER) THAT WERE DETERMINED AS DEFECTIVE BY THIS RECALL. ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASONS THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS DUE TO THE GOOD SAFETY RATINGS IT RECEIVED, SO I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT BEING FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL, BUT WITHOUT ANY ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE PREDICAMENT I AM IN WHERE I DO NOT HAVE A SAFELY DRIVABLE VEHICLE AND AM ESSENTIALLY ROLLING THE DICE BY DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP ANY TIME I DO USE IT. I AM HOPING THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A BAD THING HAPPENS BEFORE I CAN GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED PROPERLY. ANY INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST TO EXPEDITE THE RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE.

WE HIT A PATCH OF SLUSH AND ICE, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED AND THE CAR SLAMMED HEAD-ON INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR. THE CAR'S BUMPER, GRILLE, SUPPORT BAR ETC WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE RADIATOR WAS FOLDED INTO A "V". THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLASHING ON/OFF WHEN WE USED THE TURN SIGNAL.

I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL IN OCTOBER OF 2016 AND I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEEN TOLD THAT DODGE WILL NOT HAVE A PART TO FIX THE RECALL UNTIL AT THE EARLIEST JUNE 2017. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY WAITED FIVE MONTHS FOR A FIX AND MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WE ALREADY HAVE A TODDLER.

SUMMARY: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

I RECEIVED NOTICE STATING THAT THERE IS A CURRENT SAFETY RECALL FOR : THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS IN MY AVENGER. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE RESTRAINTS AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I FREQUENTLY CARRY MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THAT VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT EVEN DESIGNED - OR AVAILABLE, AND WILL NOT BE UNTIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. I AM IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER - AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE USING MY CREDIT CARD - AND THEN REIMBURSE ME. HOWEVER, THIS COULD GO ON FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY HAVE PROPERLY NOTIFIED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC OF THE DANGERS OF THE FAILURE OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING THEM WITH MY CREDIT CARD TO OBTAIN A SAFE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT WAS SAFE AND SOUND. PLEASE HELP ME.

CAR HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION SEVEN MONTHS AGO. NOW THE CLOCK SPRING IS BAD IN STEERING RESULTING IN BORROWED TIME FOR AIR BAG. SO, IF WE DO NOT REPLACE THIS FOR THE COST OF $500, MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE DEATH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH DODGE AVENGERS (2012). THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON MY STEERING WHEEL SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES STARTING AT 35,000 MILES AND STILL CONTINUING. IF AN AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT AND MYSELF, OR MY CHILD, OR SOMEONE DIES AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND AIR BAGS, IT WILL NOT BE A VERY GOOD SITUATION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DODGE AUTO SHOP AND I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MASTERTECH WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT APPARENTLY, MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AIR BAGS. THIS IS SOMETHING I FEEL THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED ON ALL WARRANTIES, PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE WORTH COVERING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR, AND OTHERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *TR

HE SLAMMED INTO MY CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR AND TIRE. I THEN SLID DOWN THE FREEWAY ALMOST SIDEWAYS WHILE I WATCHED HIS CAR ROLL OVER 3 TIMES BEFORE SLIDING TO A STOP.

ORC MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AFTER DEALER DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. AIRBAG LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY. I FEEL THAT THIS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AS IT IS IN 2011 MODELS, ETC. THIS CAR HAS A BUILD DATE OF 10-2011 SO IT PROBABLY HAS THE DEFECTIVE ORC MODULE JUST LIKE IN THE 2011 RECALL NOTICE.

DODGE STATES THAT MY COMPLAINT WILL BE REVIEWED INTERNALLY BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE ME WITH FOLLOW UP CONTACT INFO. I COULD TELL THAT THEY JUST WANTED TO END THE CONVERSATION AND NOT PURSUE IT. SO WHEN DO THESE COMPLAINTS GET REVIEWED? WHEN PEOPLE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEATH?
