Due to a medical condition I was not even aware of I passed out while driving. Unconscious I drove into a ditch, came out airborne (according to an eyewitness), proceeded on straight into a tree. My airbag did not deploy resulting in my head being thrown into the steering wheel, resulting in knocking out 5 teeth requiring oral surgery, a gash on the chin requiring stitching and an on going jaw issue. I had no other bodily injuries. Had the airbag deployed I may have been injury free. *dt
I got a recall letter multiple times. Everytime I try to schedule an appointment with my local dealer they said they dont have the part available. It has been more than 2 years since I owned my vehicle and three dealers said they will call me back when they have the part available. I even tried calling a dealer from a different state because I moved. No success. Recall code r26

Takata recall I received a notice of recall for airbags. I followed the notice's procedures to find if and how my vehicle may be affected. I registered my email at tkrestructuring.com/ppic, but was unable to find if my vehicle was affected. I then got on the website of www.airbagrecall.com and typed in my license plate and state as directed. The response was "having trouble finding your vehicle". I then typed in my VIN # on this same site (www.airbagrecall.com) and my vehicle came up. It stated that my passenger side airbag inflator something was in recall. When I clicked on the "take action" button, my computer just churned and churned for approximately 15 minutes. While it was churning I called the associated phone number with this website (888‑327‑4236). A message told me to contact tkrestructuring.com/ppic. When I phoned the tkrestructuring.com/ppic phone number provided (833‑619‑7579), all I received was a message telling me to get on the www.airbagrecall.com with no opportunity for me to leave a voice message. I got back on the www.airbagrecall.com website, typed in my VIN #, and once again, all it did was churn and churn when I clicked the "take action" button. I would really like to find out if I am driving a vehicle of doom, and if so, how to get it fixed. All the info I was provided sent me around in a circle with absolutely no solution. Thank you.

Takata recalls. On 10/05/2016 took my 2003 dodge ram 1500 into gerry wood auto group, salisbury, nc, to replace a recalled air bag along with additional work. 10/07/2026 vehicle was return ed to me. 10/05 1017 took my vehicle back to gerry wood because the warning airinf air bag light was on. A check found the squib circuit and air bag shorted. 10/09/2017 returned my vehicle because the warning light was coming on and 10/10/2017 the vehicle was returned to me. I was told if the condition continued the shop would have to replace the occupant restraint controller (orc). I was also told that I would have to pay for the replacement of the orc. Never had a problem with the orc until the mechanics replaced the air bag. Any problem with the air bag that were not a problem prior to the mechanics replacing the part should be the responsibility of gerry wood dealership. Please adivise huber r. Ijames [email protected]

My air bag light keeps coming on in my dash area . I took it to my dealer on 10-30-2017 ( they did the recall when I received my 1st notice ) got another one today . They told me no light was on at the time , so they said it was not related to the recall notice , and I would have to pay to have them look into it any farther. The light still comes on, so I contacted you . The truck is in motion when the light comes on . I'm scared the air bag may deflate while I'm driving my truck . Please help me solve this as soon as possible, the dealer refuses to go any farther with the recall !! Thank you
'takata recall'. Manufacturer recall number: r26 summary: the passenger airbag inflator housing may rupture, due to excessive internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events. This condition is more likely to occur if your vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. Safety risk: an inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupant(s). Remedy: the passenger airbag inflator must be replaced. Recall status: recall incomplete
Takata recall. Like many other dodge 1500 owners, my dash has cracked and I cannot get the recall fixed. Because it is cracked the dealer wont touch the air bags even though it states serious injury or death can occur if not taken care of.
Takata recall I finally was able to find a dealer with parts for the recall and took my truck in for the repair. The service advisor called me to inform me that he could not assure me that further cracking of the dash wouldn't occur during the repair procedure. I said then if you damage it then I will hold you responsible. He said he could not proceed without me basically indemnifying him. I would not agree to that. The cracked dash is of itself a safety problem should the airbags deploy and send dash fragments flying. If they cracked it further, then it would be even more unsafe. I think takata has the responsibility along with chrysler to fix the dash since the dash was made with inferior or defective materials as evidenced by the widespread issue with dodge ram dashes.

My husband took our vehicle a total of four times already and each time the dealership said the code had been changed as far as the replacement part(s) was concerned. The dealership said they had to wait for the part. We wasted our time and money on gas also just to be told this each time. This is our only vehicle that we have to drive. We feel we are just getting the run around, so why bother.

Takata recall. I have contacted dallas dodge, my dealer multiple times and they still haven't replaced my airbag. I contacted them in june 2016 and was told I would have to wait again.they keep telling me that there is a shortage of airbags. I have the oldest vehicle in this recall and live in texas which is in the most likely zone for this to happen. I am worried about my wife and grandchildren every time we drive this vehicle. Since this problem gets worse with the age of the vehicle and which zone you live in, I would hope that dallas dodge would want to fix these vehicles first. Please help, my family needs it.
