2011 Dodge Caliber seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 25 of 25, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased this car january 26, 2016. 2 weeks after purchase I contacted the dealer because a weird noise came out of the bottom of the car, like a clink. I was told nothing is wrong, that the car was thoroughly inspected prior to sell and according to them, everything was fine. I suffered a minor crash 3 weeks later on the drivers' side front near the tire with my family and seatbelts did not work, nor airbags were deployed. Because the accident happened in tijuana mexico I could not report it to the insurance. I have read that this car has a lot of issues with frame as well, so I feel I was ripped off by the dealer for selling a car that had issues in the first place, and the issue with the airbags had been consistent prior to the issuing of the recal s-61.
16v‑668 safety recall complaint this recall is now 8 months old, and there is no parts available to fix issue. How long is an acceptable time to have a safety recall addressed by a manufacturer. Lives and safety are at stake. Could any assistance be provided, or pressure placed on fca to complete the repairs?
My vehicle has had a recall since september 2016. It is now almost may 2017, and the remedy is still unavailable for my vehicle. Not only have I had to drive around an unsafe vehicle, dealerships will not accept my trade because of the nature of the recall. I feel like I am stuck in an unsafe vehicle and I worry every time my family and I get into my car because we are not fully protected if an accident were to occur. Please help!!!

Received notice of loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment in a crash. Repairs made to the suspension, tyi-rod totaling over $1000.00 in repairs and loss of a car so could not make it to work. This car iis not safe and I am not comfortable driving it with these known recalls. I believe I should be given a safe, comparable replacement. Why am I asked to place my life at risk as well as any one that would accompany me in my car? I am requesting a full refund or a new car. While making a turn on a circle, I car completely spun around. A truck was behind me and I was lucky that time but who knows about the next time????
Fca recall s61 currently shows as incomplete but repair parts are not available. Dodge acknowledged the issue in october 2016. Why are they not moving forward with this recall?

I own a 2011 dodge caliber with a recall for loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability. I do not want to drive my car due to this safety issue in addition to having children in my car. I cannot even get a reasonable trade offer due to this. I am told that the parts my not be available until june 16, 2016. This is a serious danger to my family and a huge financial loss for trade in. Dealerships should at least give maximum trade for this vehicle and they can wait for the repair parts until they can sell it rather than put the public at risk and financial loss due to the lower value of trade to this situation.
I was made aware of safety recall s61/ the federal safety agency 16v‑668 via mail on monday the 21st and have made multiple calls and emails to the fiat chrysler automotive company. As of right now there is no firm eta for the repair as parts are not available or in existence yet. They think january but are not sure. I do not consider 45days a "reasonable time" to wait for a safety fix for a vehicle. They have offered to reimburse me for a rental but I am not in a position where I can put out $1,200 per month and await to be paid back for the next several months.
