Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. While driving 30 MPH, a tree fell across the road. The contact depressed the brake pedal and crashed into the tree. The driver and passenger air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a storage yard and was not deemed destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
About 2 months after the purchase of the 2005 dodge magnum, the seatbelt light came on. We took the vehicle to the jeep/dodge/chrysler dealership in carthage, ms where the clock spring was replaced. About 10 miles traveling after leaving the dealership, the seatbelt light came back on and the incessant dinging finally quit. We had the clock spring replace again after about two weeks as we were traveling. We took our vehicle in for the airbag recall and have had the airbags replaced under recall and now have another recall on the airbags. The seatbelt light has been brought to our attention, but we cannot afford to have this replaced at our expense again. We have had it corrected one time at our expense, but cannot do this again. I feel it is incumbent upon dailmer chrysler to recall these vehicles and have this problem repaired at their expense as the everyday customer cannot continue to afford to pay for a problem that should have had a recall issued years ago. The same problem continues to this day with newer vehicles than ours. I was involved in a rear-end collision about three years ago at which time our body shop replaced the clock spring again and it has come on again. I had my brakes to the floor, the airbags did not inflate, and I rear-ended at about 25 miles per hour. This is a serious problem and the federal safety agency should recall these vehicles immediately.

In addition, the three children in the rear of the vehicle sustained minor bruises and injuries. All passengers required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v352000 (air bags) and 15v313000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 116,000.
The vehicle was I nvolved in a front on collision and the driver air bag never deployed. It was turning left on to a one lane two way street. The other vehicle involved when into the intersection and should have waited, I went as it was
A driver suddenly stopped in front of while I was moving resulting of me hitting her in the back. Front of my car is totaled. The shock was violent but the airbag never deployed. Thank god I was not greatly hurt.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact stated that the air bag warning light continuously illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the connecter in the steering column was replaced. The contact had to take the vehicle back to the dealer three times after the repairs to have the air bag reset because the light continued to illuminate. The dealer explained to the contact that the failure was a consistent issue with the particular year, make and model. The contact was concerned that the air bags would not deploy in the event of a crash. The failure mileage was 65,931 and the current mileage was 69,200.
Turning left onto road, vehicle was hit from behind by truck and cause the vehicle to hit a tree. Air bags did not deploy. Driver and passenger sustained bodily injury, I.e., fractured ribs, head injury and shoulder injury.
I have a new or had a new dodge magnum I had a front end collision that destroyed the complete front of the car right up to the front doors and no air bags deployed passenger or drivers side, all four wheels locked up and I was unable to steer the car. The damage to the car was extensive and my legs were crushed by the dashboard impact. Although I was wearing a seat belt.
A car with no headlights hit us on our way out to dinner we were quater mile away from home. We stopped at the intersection and made sure traffic was clear before we proceeded, it was so we indicated a left turn and moved off. By the time we saw the other vehicle it was too late, it hit us with full impact at 100 miles per hour on the left side, no airbags went off. My boyfriend the owner of the car received a fractured rib and has pain along his left side, my daughter has headaches along with pain and bruises to her left leg and side and I received a hit to my face on the right side which hurts if I try to turn my head, pain in my right wrist and a little swelling and pain to the left elbow. The failure occured to me when the air bags didn't go off. For the type of vehicle which it is a 2005 dodge magnum hemi ( silver) do we have a valid complaint and if so, how can we receive some kind of compensation for the failure of the airbags and the proper steps we should take to make sure this complaint is registered and where to go after receiving some kind of response from your web site.
