2008 Dodge Avenger airbags complaints

Takata recall.- I am approximately 2 years old with the light from the driver's airbag turned on all the time. I had it reviewed and I was informed that it is a defect in the bag and that it will not be opened in the event of an incident. Two years have passed and no revision is called for replacement. With the shift lever I was sent by chrysler a notice to carry out a revision, I did it and today after 2 years being in a street stopped and trying to make the change to drive I could never move it I just got stuck and could not drive more. How many more times will I have to call to do something about it? Because I had to pay my composure and chrysler refused to reimburse me for that money arguing that my car is no longer guaranteed !!!!!

"takata recall" la luz de la bolsa de aire se encendio y sono mientras iba manejando en una calle de mi ciudad y aun es fecha que sigue asi. Esto sucedio hace un ano y medio. Fui a la agencia dodge y se me informo que no ha sido llamado para revision. Aun estoy pendiente que se me avise para cuando.
My son was traveling east on interstate 64 when another car came upon him traveling at a high rate of speed and slammed on his brakes. The road was wet and the other car started sliding out of control and hit my sons car in the passenger front door and push the whole car into a rock wall. The airbags did not deployed at all.
Lost control of the car rear of car hit a guard rail spun around a couple times and front of car hit an embankment causing damage to the left rear of the car and trunk lid and full frontal damage including bending the frame however the air bags did not deploy
Airbag did not fully deploy from steering wheel, curtain airbags ABS seat airbags never deployed on driver side , shoulder strap of seat belt locked out. Resulting in multiple injuries to me which I was driver- not sure how accident happened. 95% facial fractures , needed plastic surgery , injury to s1 joints, right hip socket , injury in l4& l5 knees , ribs bruised badly, severe concussion..
My airbag light constantly turning on and off when I turn left or right my car never been wrecked before
Air bag continuously goes on. Cruise control does not work. Tire pressure was an issue but had that fixed
Air bag light coming on and off intermittently. After looking online my car also has the same air bag light problem that have been listed numerous time (but for some odd reason my VIN isn't one of the recalled cars) online. While driving the car the air bag light will come on and go off continuously. Reading around I have found that the problem lies within the seat track sensor. This needs to be fixed on all cars and not just the ones chrysler deems to want to fix. This is a huge safety issue and could lead to some serious problems. The federal safety agency needs to make them do the right thing and fix all the cars, not the select few they (chrysler) deem to might be having problems.
I was driving and airbag light kept coming on and going off. Even after I turned my car off and back on it did the same thing.
"takata recall " recent and ongoing problem with my 08 dodge avenger is the airbag light has been coming on randomly, from start up and while driving. Airbag has never deployed or no injuries to vehicle, has been on and off since last year. Oil pressure light was also on, got the oil pressure sensor replaced, would start off from start up and would come on and off consteadly. Front driversseatbelt also stopped retracting have recently had that changed as well. The TPMS light has been on for about 2 years now, turns on at start up and stays on while driving. The engine light has also been on for awhile now too, from start up and while driving, just stays on, since a few months of vehicle purchase, was actually still making payments when I took it in for service for the engine light, came off and back on 2 months later, been struggling with it every since. Just have learned to live with the engine light on and TPMS light on as well. Have had to change the alternator 3 times on this car already too. My car drives fine now, don't want to just keep ignoring the problem, would really like that fixed.
My car is having all of the same problems that the vehicles form the TPMS recall had. My car isnt covered under the recall though. The cruise control wont work, the battery just goes dead, the remote start sysyem wont work, sometimes the engine wont start, the radio stays on all the time if you dont manually shut it off, the air bag light is on even though there is nothing wrong with it. I feel as though since my car has all the same problems and I have seen many more complaints from others on this site and other websites that the recall should be reevaluated and expanded to cover more of the same year of vehicles. Please do something about this for all of the owners having problems.
