Takata recall and recall t36 alternator
I have been involved in two separate crashes with this vehicle. The first at 46 MPH, with significant front end damage. The second, after the car was repaired was at 75 MPH. During the first crash, no airbags deployed. During the second crash only the curtain/side airbags deployed on the passenger side of the car. I was seatbelted in, properly, and suffered bruised lungs and a concussion.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 dodge charger. The contact stated that the dealer (anderson toyota, 6510 showplace ave, lake havasu city, az 86404, (928) 764-2886) failed to mention that there were five manufacturer recalls on the vehicle before the vehicle was sold. The dealer (anderson chrysler dodge jeep ram, 3920 az-95, lake havasu city, az 86404, (928) 764-5153) was unable to determine when the manufacturer would be able to provide the remedy and repair parts for the recalls. In addition, when using the car jack, it was structurally unable to hold the weight of the vehicle and would collapse to the ground without warning. The manufacturer recalls were for the air bags, power train, and electrical system (alternator assembly). The manufacturer provided case number: 32367806 and indicated that they would follow-up with the contact. The contact was informed that there was currently no repair solution; however, the manufacturer presented the option of a buy back. The contact was waiting an extended period of time to determine recourse. The federal safety agency campaign numbers were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
I purchased my 2013 dodge charger from anderson toyota of lake havasu city, arizona as a certified pre-owned vehicle last year. I have since come to discover that the vehicle has 5 active safety recalls, none of which were addressed or fixed prior to the dealership selling me the car. Several of the recalls have been in place for years, but I was never informed that I was being sold a vehicle known to be unsafe. I am now paying on a financed vehicle that cannot be driven out of town, due to known defects that were in place at the time of purchase.
I'm sorry but the the checklist that for the defective items on the vehicle and you guys were asking what defective items do you have and it wouldn't let me check mark the boxes him but pretty much everything that you have on that screen is wrong with my car it has broke down lost power all power I was driving about 45 miles an hour I had no control over the vehicle I had carbon monoxide a poison and I'm getting my blood work right now as we speak and I just disused this issue with one of the representatives there and I feel like this car is going to catch on fire because it's been overheating so I don't think it's real safe for me to drive it and take it to the shop yesterday and they told me come back today so it's running around and is buying parts for his car and it's hiring somebody to install it you know him but nothing major a certified mechanic has to do it and my engine it it's it's something wrong with that my emissions never been done the smog has never been done it's keeping miles and also the suspension iis not stable, these corrosion needs to be taken care of its on the top roof towards the front window. Also the suspension is squeking and rocking back and forth which it's n the rear end of the car... Also it's getting 11mpg 9mpg city it's not correct it should get 20mpg in city I drive with castion is getting about 9 to 10 miles a gallon in the city and that's not right I'm doing it by calculating because I don't this this cluster works .... Please call me
The was a recall issue fixed on my vehicle sometime last year where if I'm not mistaken, they went into my dash and/or removed the dash. Also the airbag light would go on and off. Since then, I've started to experience clicking/knocking where the airbag would be located and the air bags light is on and off very frequently as well. If I hit a bump on the side where the clicking occurs, the air bag light will come on. Not sure if the problem is related to the recall that was supposedly fixed in the past, however there was no clicking/knocking in the dashboard prior to the fix, only airbag light. I just don't want it to be an airbag issue or it deploys while I'm driving. Not able to put in an exact date because it happens everyday, so only entered today's date.
Currently having an ongoing issue with the ABS and traction control lights. The vehicle is in the shop for the second time in less than 2 months for the same lights. Twice I was driving down the road, the brake pedal would do something funny and the those lights would come on. The second time(currently and occurred on june 4th) the airbag warning light came on as well. The first time the ABS and traction light came on, I was told it was a ABS sensor, and I paid the dealership $250.00. This time less than 2 months later, the dealership is saying it is yet another sensor causing those lights to illuminate. And as far as the airbag goes, it's faulty wiring and that it needed another wiring harness. These repairs would cost me over $600.00. I have two friends that have the same vehicle and are having the exact same problems with the ABS and traction control lights. This seems to be a overall dodge issue as far as the chargers go.

Yesterday evening, the airbag warning light on my vehicle came on. Although the owners manual for my vehicle states that an airbag light needs to be checked immediately, this morning I was unable to obtain a service appointment despite my having contacted two local dodge dealerships. When I spoke with the service departments at both dealerships, I was told that the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. However, neither dealership would give me a a service appointment until next week. When I called fiat chrysler's customer department, I was told that my vehicle is subject to a safety recall due to a problem with its airbags. It was also acknowledged by the representative with whom I spoke that one or more of the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. In spite of this, and in spite of the recall, fiat chrysler told me that it is unable to get me a service appointment today to have the recall and airbag warning light issues addressed. Furthermore, I was told that if the airbag warning light problem is not related to the recall, I might have to pay to have the problem addressed if it is not covered by warranty. Although I asked to be given a rental car today to drive until my vehicle can be seen at a dealership, fiat chrysler would not authorize me to receive a rental car free of charge, and instead told me that I would have to rent a car using my own money and seek reimbursement. Fiat chrysler has told me that my complaint has been "escalated" and that I would received a return call from fiat chrysler "as soon as possible," despite which I have not received a return phone call. I now have an appointment with lucas dodge in mt. Holly, new jersey, but for today I am being forced to drive a vehicle that may have either defective airbags or no working airbags at all.
Sensor light for airbag illuminated when returning from out of town trip yesterday 04-aug-15. I first searched for recalls and found an article that 2 days ago there was a recall on select vehicles. The vehicles listed included dodge chargers 2011-2014. I called to confirm with dealership whether or not my particular VIN was involved in the recall. I was told it was not. This worries me due to the nature of the sensor and if the air bag happens to deploy while I am driving. I could hurt myself, my family or other drivers. I would like someone to check into this since the recall is so recent and on the website for the recall it states that it may not include recent recalls. The last update I saw listed was mid jun this year. Thanks for your attention to this matter...

My airbag light came on and stayed on. I referred to the owner's manual, which stated to seek service immediately. I went to the dealership where I purchased my new vehicle. I was told oh there's a recall, we need to make you an appointment. I took my car in on the scheduled day, but the next day I was told that its a wiring issue and the airbags may not deploy. The factory warranty expired so you're responsible is what I was told by the dealership and chrysler group llc. I disagree since this could potentially be a factory defect. No preliminary investigation since this same issue is known with the 2012 models. What does it take before a recall is issued on these dodge chargers. Any information you provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks concerned military service member
