This vehicle was in perfect operational conditions prior to the repairs regarding the takata inflators. Immediately following this repair, I have replaced the battery on two separate occasions. A completely charged battery will discharge overnight. After a complete diagnostic evaluation by dodge dealership, they found no problems with vehicle. In the 12-days following this diagnostic, I have charged the battery twice. I am really concerned that an electrical defect, as a result of the dealership repairs, may contribute to an electrical fire or a possible explosive concern. I am concerned for the safety of my self, as well as my family. This has been an on-going concern for approximately 6-months.

We haven't had a specific incident but several months ago we were sent a recall notification on the dodge challenger stating that "the driver airbag inflator housing in your vehicle may rupture, due to excessive or internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events. This condition is more likely to occur if your vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity..." we have contacted fiat chrysler automobiles and a local dodge dealership and they are both refusing to fix the problem and have no other solutions. It is my understanding that when a recall is issued the manufacturer is required to provide a solution - either fixing the problem or buying back the vehicle. This is clearly a major safety concern, we live in texas so the humidity statement definitely applies and with no fix we're not able to drive the vehicle now so something needs to be done. Dodge needs to figure out how to fix the problem or start buying back vehicles. We need to be driving a safe vehicle, we have an infant and we can't afford to just park that car while dodge twiddles it's fingers.

There is a defect on the dash where the passenger air bag deploys. This causes the area to look depressed and deformed. Chrysler / dodge was contacted, and are refusing to repair. In talking with other owners some are choosing to cover the dash with dash mats or covers. This raises the question with me as to how this may effect the deployment of the airbags?
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 dodge challenger. While driving approximately 20 MPH he crashed into a vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The driver in the other vehicle was injured. The vehicle was towed to a towing company but was not examined for the cause of failure or repaired. The failure and current mileages were 23,000.
