The Dealer did not complete this Safety Recall, They refused to follow up with the repair description of 73A which is part of this 66A they both have the same NHSTA Number. The vehicle seems to be more difficult to drive after getting it back from the dealer. I also noticed new cosmetic damages, and a missing cover under the fender-well. The vehicle was returned to me with an incomplete recall. "Jun 08,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number66A the federal safety agency Recall Number23V-411 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor.

I was driving down the highway when my truck suddenly throws its self into park while traveling at 55 mph. My stuck started spinning causing me to bounce off the safety rails on both sides of the highway. My truck took a front end hit to a concrete wall and my airbags did not deploy. Once my truck came to a stop sideways in the middle of the highway it wouldn’t come out of park because it was shut off. I started the truck and placed it in drive and was able to move a few feet from the center of the highway. The truck was towed. No warning lights had went off nothing. I’m having bad neck pain from the residual effects of the accident.
I was in two separate major accidents and the airbags did not deploy. I got injuries due to this. They have been looked at by shops when repairs were made. No indication before or after of any kind regarding air bags.
I received a recall letter from FCA for SAFETY RECALL Y63/the federal safety agency 21V‑632 approximately SEVEN months ago. As of today 3/25/2022 a fix is not available according to FCA!!! How can FCA have a recall when they don't have a fix? And how can the federal safety agency allow FCA to drag their feet on a SAFETY RECALL? I am very disappointed in FCA and MOST of all with the federal safety agency, to allow a SAFETY problem to exist with out a fix for such a LONG period of time.
Was involved in a crash where an SUV ran a red light and out in front of me, I was driving 40mph she was going faster and when we hit her SUV flipped and all her airbags deployed but none of mine did and the whole front was pushed back about a foot also both frame rails were bent and cracked from the impact but none of my airbags deployed and I just bought this truck one month ago and the dealership said everything checked out good and there were no service lights on at the time prior to or after the wreck.
I received a pre-notice regarding the side airbag recall associated with my vehicle just after it was issued (Aug. 2021). I have been in touch with my local dealership many times, with a response to check back later. Since the initial notice, I have received nothing on the status or remedy concerning this recall. Being that airbags are a vital safety system, it is my assessment that the manufacturer should stop dragging their feet on this recall and provide a solution.

My son had a 2016 ram 1500 and was in a head on collision driving approx 40 MPH. Thankfully he was okay. I saw the report this evening about new air bag recalls and want you to know his airbags did not inflate when he crashed. Needless to say we were shocked. I questioned state farm, the palm beach county sheriffs office and the state farm body shop. My question to all of them was who would bring this issue to the proper gov't authorities. The vehicle was totaled so I no longer have the VIN. I am sure we can get the VIN from state farm. The accident was only a few months ago, so I am sure you can still get your hands on the vehicle. The date below is an estimate.
During cold weather (below 0) the air ride suspension does not work. It freezes up and creates a dangerous driving condition on rough or uneven roads. The vehicle bounces and looses traction to the road and could cause an accident to occur.
Air suspension has never worked properly during winter months. Had compressor replaced in 2-2018. In the last year I have experienced a minimum of 12 instances where the vehicle will not adjust ride height which I have photos of. When I purchased my vehicle no one told me it would not function properly during the cold months. Most recently I was in to have the auto park recall taken care of. Since this update my truck is total crap. I have lost 3mpg in fuel mileage, the truckss shift pattern and running RPM's have changed and it drives like I'm towing something. When I returned to the dealer I was told to get and after market programmer to solve the issue. Really! So when I go in the next time they can void my warranty. My truck ran like a beast before the update and averaged 18.5 mpg, today I am averaging 14.7 on the same exact trip. Something is definitely wrong with this program.
The original problem happened earlier in january of 2019. I opened my vehicle and upon starting it, I began to put my seat belt on I noticed the tension on the belt was non existent. In fact I had to "help" the belt back down into the pulley. It has not worked since. Shortly afterwards my air bag light came on on my dash. I have received multiple factory recall postcards in the mail at my new house listing my VIN/vehicle as well as issues with the seat belt and air bag system. Upon receiving these postcards, I followed the instructions as it stated on the card and called two local ram service centers: brunswick auto mart 3031 center rd, brunswick, oh 44212 (330) 460-0721 (authorized ram service center) and spitzer chrysler dodge jeep ram cleveland 13001 brookpark rd, brook park, oh 44142 (216) 267-2100. The brunswick service center refused to acknowledge the recalls as they pertain to my vehicle and told me that I would be charged. The brook park service center told me that my VIN was not coming up in their system. I still receive the vehicle recall postcards from fiat-chrysler-dodge-ram however my local service centers refuse to fix the issues because I didnt purchase from them. I originally purchased this vehicle out of state. I have also has problems with my turn signal lamp consistently going out. I purchased the vehicle with less than 15,000 miles on it. It now has a little over 30,000 miles.
Air bag did not deploy. Traveling on city street going straight auto from left hit me making left hand turn. Stuck front left bumper I was going about 32 MPH. No air bag deployment.
I was involved in a front end collision on 4-23-2018. At 60mph, my airbags failed to deploy. I filed a complaint with chrysler (case# 33961416). They sent an investigator to download the information from the computer. The investigator reported that the airbags was working at the time of the collision and that I was not traveling fast enough for it to deploy. When they refused to provide me with a copy of the report, I hired my on investigator to download the information from the computer. My investigator found that chrysler's report was 100% incorrect. His report states that I was traveling around 60mph and the airbags failed. He even provided photos of the steering column that shows the airbags tried to deploy but failed. Chrysler has refused to contact my investigator and has advised me to stop calling about this issue because they have closed the case. I filed a complaint with the oklahoma attorney generals (case # cc-18-1759) which was transferred to your office on 10-23-2018. John (phone #202‑366‑8833) from your office call me a few weeks ago to get the VIN number from the dodge that I wrecked. Please forgive me if this is not the correct way to pursue this situation. If this case is still under investigation and I need to be patient, that's exactly what I will do. Please advised that I can provide you with the entire report that my investigator has. Thank you see also 11149428. *dsy *dt *dt*jb *dt *dt*jb *bf consumer stated vehicle was totaled and he does not want fca to have a copy of my report 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
