Within one month of purchasing my vehicle the passenger air bag light stays on and after bringing the vehicle into the dealer 3 times it has still not been repaired. Then my emergency brake light and my ABS light randomly started coming on. I brought it into the dealer again and they said they had to order a part. They "think it is electrical" and would call me when the part came in. Two months later...no phone call from the dealer. My car would not start two times since the last visit to the dealership. I walked into the dealer to show them that this large light with an electrical sign and battery flashed on and my vehicle would not start just 15 minutes ago. The service manager went out to my vehicle and said my ABS is not working. I brought my vehicle in to the dealer this morning. Among the above issues there is now a headlight safety issue. It is not safe to drive me and my family. I want it fixed or replaced. I bought the vehicle with 50 miles on it and it has had nothing but major safety issues. I do not want to wait until someone dies with this vehicle on the road. Something needs to be done now!!!!

Dodge dealer is refusing to repair a recall issued: po8 / the federal safety agency / 14v‑101. The dealers excuse is that chrysler corp. Is only allowing 2 shipments of recall repair parts per week. Chrysler corp. Also did not notify me of recalls: 12v042000, 12v197000, 13v118000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge charger. The contact was involved in a head on crash and the air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or mechanic for diagnostic testing.

Cpsc: i1440340a. 2011 dodge charger. Consumer stated she took her car in for recall work on the wiring harness for the air bag. *ln the consumer expected to have other recalls performed. However, the dealer informed her, those recalls were restricted to police vehicles. The low beam headlights and ABS were not operational.
The airbag light in my charger kept coming on and staying on. When I took it to the dealer they said the error code was coming from the seat airbag sensors and they would need to be replaced. Apparently my charger was manufactured in january of 2011 and was not included in the recall for this exact same problem because the recall was only for those manufactured starting in april. The exact same part that was found to be defective in these other chargers was the same as mine, but they would not repair it under the recall. After they fixed that the airbag light was still on and this time I was told that it was coming from the passenger airbag underneath the dash. Again the same problem with the airbag wiring and harness, and again it was not covered under any type of warranty.

Airbag warning light goes on and off, mostly staying on, happens at any speed and also when stopped.
I tried to make a quick stop and the vehicle would not stop. My anti-lock brake system did not work I crashed and the airbags did not deploy.
While operating my 2011 dodge charger with passengers, the airbag light would illuminate. The fault was traced to a wiring harness in the passengers seat. While the airbag light was illuminated the airbag system would not deploy. The person in the passenger seat was a adult female.
Airbag system failure. Indicator light, dealer tested and stated airbag module is defective, airbag system not working. Part would take 3 weeks to come in!
