Air bag light was flashing and contact Dodge multiple times to inquire and fix recall however all I was offered was a gift card but no sort of transaction while vehicle was being fixed and was told I would receive follow up to make arrangements to get everything fixed however never had received any follow up and finally like I had told and showed the dealer probably the bag was going to deploy luckily I was the only person in the vehicle the passenger side airbag deployed and caused me to go off road into rail totaling vehicle it was no injuries or damages to any other property however vehicle was total loss and had a car person pick it up so I wouldn’t occur any cost leaving vehicle abandoned or in a storage facility when I contacted recall customer care for dodge and told them what happened now their excuse is a investigation however before this incident they have had ample time and many opportunities to check the vehicle just to be pushed off with a bunch of excuses to not provide ample conversation for inconvenience and the losses accrued due to their Faulty unsafe vehicle that could have cost someone life due to donor drive recall

What owners say
Airbag lights suddenly always on. Unknown if they are working or about to deploy. Hesitation in transmission while shifting, not sure if working properly. I haven't had any recalls fixed on this vehicle. It showed recalls and suddenly it shows all repaired. Is it due to the year?2005? Seat belts don't retract and are have to be manually maneuvered.
My airbag warning light came on this morning. It comes on an goes off comes on and go off.
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).
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated. The contact called a local dealer (cerritos dodge, 18803 studebaker rd, cerritos, ca 90703) where it was diagnosed that the SRS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 100,001. *bf updated 9/13/18
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum. Within weeks of owning the vehicle, the air bag indicator illuminated. The unknown independent dealer who sold the contact the vehicle made no mention of the fact that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags). In addition, the battery save mode indicator illuminated, the vehicle jerked, and the speed drastically reduced. The contact had to drive cautiously and potentially utilize the hazard lights when the failure occurred. Various warning indicators flashed on the instrument panel, such as the bac and skid control which also intermittently illuminated. Also, the head lamps shorted out several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and diagnostic testing. The vehicle was serviced by an unknown dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.
(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
