2007 DODGE DURANGO Air Bags Problems

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V313000 (Air Bags) and 16V352000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact then received a second recall notice which stated that parts were now available. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parts were still not available even though a letter was received which stated otherwise. The contact recently called back the same dealer and was informed that the dealer was only receiving a limited supply of parts and could not service the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

TAKATA RECALL (NOT SURE). WHILE DRIVING (40 MPH TO 45 MPH) ON A RAINY AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18, 20017 THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OR ACCIDENT OR NOTHING, BESIDES THAT IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD. IT SOUND LIKE A BIG EXPLOSION INSIDE THE CAR MAKING ME ALMOST LOST VEHICLE CONTROL.

MY FAMILY WAS IN A VIOLENT CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING OUR 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WE WERE HIT "HEAD ON " IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY AN SUV GOING BETWEEN 60-80 ACCORDING TO STATE POLICE. THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN BY THE IMPACT THAT INCLUDED FLYING GLASS, METAL FRAGMENTS ETC. THE AIRBAGS DID COME OUT, BUT DID NOT INFLATE AND JUST CAME DOWN LIKE A "CAPE". THEY WERE USELESS IN PREVENTING ANY BODILY INJURIES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND INJURED HER LEFT SHOULDER, HER BACK AND UP INTO HER NECK. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HER HEAD PRETTY BAD. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT MY KNEE, WRIST AND SHOULDER. MY SON WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HIS BACK. WE WERE GOING 30 MPH IN RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR WAS SPEEDING DOWN THE MIDDLE LANE AND LOST CONTROL AFTER CLIPPING A CAR, SEVERAL BEHIND US. WITNESSES SAY HE WAS GOING 100 MPH. WE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 07 DURANGO FOR AIRBAGS, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL CRASH.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN LATE JULY (?) AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO ROY'S GRAND DODGE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HE WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AWHILE UNTIL THEY COULD GET TO US BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY OF THE RECALLS. MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO CHECK ON A DATE TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED ON AUGUST 28 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY DO 3-4 RECALLS A WEEK AND THEY WOULD GET TO US SOMETIME. OVER A MONTH HAS PASSED SINCE WANTING TO FIX THE RECALL AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DODGE. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THE DODGE BEFORE THE AIR BAG IS REPAIRED?

THANK YOU FOR ASKING CHRYSLER TO RECALL ALL AFFECTED AIRBAG VEHICLES NATIONWIDE. I HAVE SENT CHRYSLER SEVERAL EMAILS EXPLAINING THAT I SPEND MUCH TIME IN FLORIDA, THAT THE HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THUS FAR HAS RUSTED OUT MY ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED LAST YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT MY DURANGO SHOULD RECEIVE AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS. CHRYSLER HAS CONTINUALLY DODGED THIS REQUEST AND HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE, AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS IN ADDITION TO NEVER PURCHASING A CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN. I WILL REACH OUT TO MY NORTH CAROLINA REPS AND SENATORS AS WELL, BUT YOUR REQUEST TO CHRYSLER FOR A NATIONAL RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. I READ OF A RECENT EXAMPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE AN AFFECTED VEHICLE INJURED THE DRIVER/OCCUPANT WHEN DEPLOYED. MY WIFE DRIVES THE KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE, WILL CHRYSLER BE LIABLE IF MORE PEOPLE GET HURT AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM?? *TR
