TAKATA RECALL I AM UPSET AT THE WAY THESE TAKATA RECALLS ARE BEING HANDLED BY DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER. NEITHER DEALER OR MANUFACTURER SEEM TO HAVE A HANDLE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, DISSEMINATING PROPER INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS, ETC. I JUST RETURNED FROM WASTING THIS MORNING AT A DODGE DEALER BECAUSE I SCHEDULED THE WORK, AND WHEN I GOT THERE WAS TOLD NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN I SCHEDULED THE WORK. I LIVE 45 MINUTES ONE WAY, SO IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE THESE USELESS TRIPS. I THINK MUCH PRESSURE SHOULD BE EXERTED ON MANUFACTURERS TO DIVERT AIRBAGS TO RECALLS, AND PULL THE AIRBAGS AWAY FROM NEW CAR PRODUCTION UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THERE SHOULD ALSO BE ONE PERSON IN CHARGE OF AIRBAG RECALLS AT EACH DEALERSHIP TO COORDINATE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION, SCHEDULING, PARTS, ETC. AND TAKATA SHOULD PAY THE BILL FOR THESE PERSONS. THANK YOU. *TR

SIGNED UP FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL ON JULY 22, 2016. I HAVE WAITED OVER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO BE NOTIFIED TO BRING MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE AIRBAG REPLACED. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO 1-800-853-1403, ONLY TO HAVE BEEN HUNG UP ON. THEY LEAVE ME AND MY PASSENGER IN DANGER. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M WORRIED EACH TIME I HAVE TO USE IT THAT HOPE THE AIRBAG DOES NOT EXPLODE. I NEED MY TRUCK AND NEED THEM TO REPAIR IT CAUSE THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. ON 2/4/2016 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO COURTESY CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM LOCATED AT 9207 ADAMO DRIVE EAST IN TAMPA,FL. THE AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF OF THE DEALER'S LOT I NOTICED THAT THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE, ALTHOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST BEFORE MY VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER A NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE AT A COST OF $125.00 + LABOR. I REFUSED TO ORDER AND PAY FOR A PART TO FIX A REPAIR THAT DID NOT EXIST PRIOR TO MY VISIT. I WAS MAKING AN 11 HOUR DRIVE THE NEXT DAY TO START A NEW JOB AND I NEEDED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. THE PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM STILL CONTINUE TO GO OFF AND ON ALTHOUGH I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT. NOTE THAT I CALLED THE FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER ON 2/4/2016 AFTER I RETURNED FROM THE DEALER. I DESCRIBED THE SEATBELT PROBLEM BUT FCA WAS JUST AS UNCARING AS THE DEALER.

WHEN INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT CAME ACROSS A COW IN THE ROAD .

I ATTEMPTED TO DROP MY VEHICLE OFF FOR THIS SCHEDULED SERVICE BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE NECESSARY PARTS AT THE TIME, AND WOULD NOT UNTIL MID-JANUARY (AT WHICH TIME THEY ANTICIPATE HAVING ONLY A LIMITED SUPPLY). MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE BEEN, AND CURRENTLY AM, DRIVING A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND AM AFRAID THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AT LEAST MID-JANUARY FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE CORRECTED. WHAT IF THE DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY/ENOUGH PARTS IN MID-JANUARY? HOW MUCH LONGER WILL I HAVE TO WAIT IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ME AT THAT TIME? IT SEEMS THAT THE DEALER SHOULD RECEIVE ENOUGH PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL (SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LARGE NUMBER), AND NOT JUST A LIMITED NUMBER SO AS TO ONLY HELP PEOPLE ON A FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVED BASIS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN GET CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND/OR SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO POSSIBLY WAIT BEYOND MID-JANUARY FOR A SOLUTION. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLLY IN A 40 MPH CRASH IN MY 2005 DODGE DAKOTA PU. CRASH INVOLVED THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE INTO CONCRET BARRIER ON INTERSTATE. IN THE PAST, I HAVE REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE "CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT" COMING ON AND STAYING ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME FROM THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY INVESTIGATED WITHOUT FINDING ANY ISSUES. TODAYS INCIDENT CAUSES ME GREAT CONCERN OF POTENTIAL FAILURES IN OTHER FRONTAL CRASHES WITH MORE SERIOUS INJURIES. *TR

VEHICLE: 2005 DODGE DAKOTA WITH 24,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAGS CONTINUALLY GO ON AND OFF PRESUMABLY INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3 - 5 WEEKS AGO. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE ADVISOR SAID TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THE SEATS (THERE ISN'T) AND OTHER THAN THAT, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BE PREPARED TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY HUNTING FOR THE CAUSE OF AN INTERMITTENT SENSOR FAILURE. *TR

Mileage: 33,840

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAD A TRUCK LIKE MINE COME IN FOR THE SAME REASON, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY SAID THAT THE SENSOR KEEPS THE BAGS FROM DEPLOYING WHEN IN A WRECK. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SHUTS ITSELF OFF WHEN A BAG OR SOME LIGHT WEIGHT ITEM THAT WEIGHS LESS THAN AN ADULT (NO SPECIFIC WEIGHT GIVEN) IS PLACED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE AIRBAG BACK ON IS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHARGE $100 EVERY TIME. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP. ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MENTIONED THAT I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, IN THAT IF TWO PERSONS ARE TRAVELING AND THE AIRBAG GETS SHUT OFF, SOMEONE EITHER MUST WAIT SOMEWHERE FOR MAYBE 2-3 DAYS UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE, OR RIDE IN THE TRUCK WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES NOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY RESET THE CONTROLLER. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE AND IT REPEATEDLY CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,404 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,670. UPDATED 10/25/07 *TR

Mileage: 13,670

AIR-BAG WARNING LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SOMETIMES REMAIN ON FOR MILES. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. QUESTION IS, WILL THEY WORK WHEN NEEDED? *JB

AIRBAG LIGHTS CONTINUE TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. PREVIOUS TRUCK WAS TRADED IN AS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. NOW, THE NEW TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE KEPT TRACK OF IN CASE OF A WIDESPREAD ISSUE CONCERNING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS IN SIMILAR VEHICLES (2005 DODGE DAKOTA). *JB

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2005 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB IN FEB. OF '05, I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS UP INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER CHECKED THE "CODES" AND FOUND NOTHING THAT INDICATED A CIRCUIT PROBLEM, SO THEY DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. TWO DAYS AFTER THE SERVICE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON. THE DEALER EVEN SAID THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT OPERATE WHENEVER THE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON, IT SOMETIMES STAYS ON 15 MINUTES, AND TYPICALLY ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 15 MINUTES. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, ENDANGERING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THIS IS THE PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. *JB

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WORKS SOME TIME IT DOESN'T. YOU CAN TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON THE LIGHT MY GO OUT OR IT MAY NOT YOU NEVER KNOW WHETHER IT IS WORKING OR NOT. *NM

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY 2005 DODGE DAKOTA TRUCK. IN WHICH I HIT A POLE. I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS 35 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE POLE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE SENSORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUMPER. WHEN I TOOK PICTURES OF THE BUMPER THEY SHOW THAT I HIT IT WITHIN INCHES OF THE CENTER OF THE BUMPER. WHEN I TOOK THOSE PICTURES TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE SENSORS ARE ON THE SUPPORT BEAMS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T GO OFF AND IF THERE WAS OR IS ANY RECALLS ON THIS. *JB

2005 DODGE DAKOTA WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO LOCK.*MR THE DRIVER HIT HIS HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH KNOCKED ONE OF HIS TEETH OUT. *NM
