The airbag light came on just after purchase and upon lowering the tilt wheel and did so after every supposed repair. I had this in for repair 7 times 5 of which were done at warrensburg chrysler in warrensburg, missouri. By the time they had tried 5 times and torn my dash apart scratching all the lower kick panels and leaving me with a dash that rattles the vehicle was out of warranty and refused to rectify the issue. I then called the district rep and was told quote: (we ain't doing [xxx] about it!) at this point I gave up but did contact the federal trade commission and never received a reply. Seems as though chrysler needs to make this right as it is a faulty sqib1 & 2 cable that is the issue leaving the airbag inoperable and a manufacture problem to tell an owner of a vehicle what I was told shows a total disregard for the safety of my family or any passenger onboard including customers that are often in my vehicle. Note that the date I had to show at the bottom of this form is an approximate and the dealer will have the actual attempted repair dates. The federal safety agency (nvs-210) information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On june 21st 2017 approximately 9:05am I was coming out of the hospital parking lot and I was hit on the drivers front side of my vehicle while I was at a stop sign. A woman ran into me and a client of mine as I was on the job! I was in complete shock! I stayed in my vehicle as I tried to stay calm. I got out of my vehicle and call 911 first then a bystandered called campus security. Statements were taken from both parties as well as photos from the incident. After that we were told to get into our cars and pull over back into the parking lot to clear up the area. I got back into my vehicle and started to drive it. My sterring wheel was feeling weird and flimsy- it felt like it was broken. I reached down under the sterring while and the lever to lock the wheel had unlocked. The impact on my vehicle was hard.the drivers airbag should have deployed- but it didnt. The wheel came out, but no airbag. This was extremely unsafe for myself and my client whom already has developmental disabilities. I suffered injuries and went to the hospital immediately after the incident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact received a recall notice for the driver side air bag and fuel pump. The contact took the vehicle to be repaired at lakeshore chrysler (330 e howze beach rd, in slidell, la). After the repair, the contact was informed by the technician that a code was found for the weight sensor circuit on the front passenger seat, which failed and needed to be replaced. Until the sensor was replaced, both the driver and passenger side air bags could deactivate and would have to be repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The federal safety agency campaign numbers were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 200,092.
"takata recall" I was notified of the recall when it was made available to me by fca us llc I contacted a dealer in claremore okla and the recall has yet to be repaired. I have children and would like this completed before possible injury occurs.
(complaint date with the federal safety agency 5/8/2017) immediately upon having otten dodge in 16614 pottsville pike, hamburg, pa 19526 do the tanaka airbag recall service, a airbag warning light has become lit (5/4/2017), and hasn't gone out. After filing a complaint with fca customer service I was advised that the dealers are franchise owned and chrysler has no control over how they do recall installationss. Because a complaint was filed no other local dealer will fix the issue either. Also on 3/20/2017 a service for negotiated between the ntsb, and fca (chrysler) x53 defective fuel tank replacement. The service was carried out, & the issue is now worse. The fuel tank is no longer vented. Broken evap system. The car was returned to the above dealer service dept for evap fix, and they determined that a charcoal canister was worn/broken & therefore needed replacement @ a cost of $419 this accompanied the tanaka airbag replacement, which I never asked to be done. I immediately had to call fca customer service because despite the dealerships claim that it was fixed, the tank still does not have a functioning vent system ( a major fire risk) also if the airbag light is on and you get in a crash and the bags do not deploy, the highway patrol is allowed to upload your vdr and if they find a fault in the system insurance can deny your claim because the car did not do as designed (example, you break your neck against the wheel cause the bag didn't deploy based on fault, they wont have to pay your medical bills. Non-functioning evap system. Https://www.facebook.com/gary.jamescherry/posts/1479872962075871 airbag light https://www.facebook.com/gary.jamescherry/posts/1480059592057208

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.
