We keep geeting the run around about the part non-availability and no end in sight for the waiting. I am afraid to drive the truck as the air-bag may explode in my face. Can't we get this completed soon? Its distracting, while I drive, to be constantly worried about having it blow up!!
2005 Dodge RAM 1500 airbags complaints
Page 9 of 14: complaints 221 to 250 of 376, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Received several recall notices from fiat chrysler automobiles (r25) for defective airbags, first dealer would not call me back on recall notice, second dealer finally did get back a hold of me to inform me that the waiting list for replacement airbags was now pushed back to november. This is unacceptable. Update 9/15/15*cw updated 09/24/15
I received two recall notices for fixes on my 2005 doge ram. I have had this vehicle for one year. The recall notices are for defective airbag inflator housing and a rear axle pinion nut. In the rec all notice I was informed there is no permanent fix for either of these problems. Both defects could cause injury or death. I want chrysler to take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimburse me for the $12,000 I paid for it a year ago. Because of these dangerous situation I will not drive this vehicle and cannot afford to buy another. I feel chrysler should take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimbursed me for what I paid for it so I can purchase a vehicle that is safe to drive!

My sister was in a fatal car accident june 23rd 2015. About a week and a half after her death we received a recall for the trucks rear axle pinion nut. Then a week after that we received another recall in the mail regarding the driver airbag inflator. During the incident her trucks right rear tire was snapped at the axle leaving us to believe that the pinion nut was loose and caused this rear axle to seize and break. In the crash all of the airbags failed to deploy. The pinion nut recall was issued in february of 2015 and we are questioning why it took chrysler 5 months to provide us with this information.

I received a formal recall notice (p77/the federal safety agency 14v‑796) which stated a safety concern with my truck's rear pinion nut that may come loose or fall off. When I called our local dodge dealer in westerly, rhode island they told me they wouldn't have the corrective parts for about 2-3 months? This being a safety concern and my second notice from chrysler why are parts not available? It seems I have two recalls in an open status and can't get either one repaired by chrysler at this time. A concerned chrysler owner.

Receiving notifications from fiat chrysler automobiles about recalls r25 and p77. I originally brought the vehicle in to the dealership approx 3-4 months ago, ramsey, nj, chrysler jeep dodge. They stated they did not have parts. I called fca and they stated parts should be available in june. Called the same dealership on wed july 8th, they asked for recall notice info. Amazingly the VIN was not enough. Amazingly they had no record of me being their previously for the recall and they said they are checking on the availability of parts. Note they have now changed the original recall id on p81/the federal safety agency 14v‑817 to r25 / the federal safety agency 15v‑313 on the air bag one. Since both of these are potentially life threatening I need to get this resolved.
