AIR BAGS

42 complaints

Here in AZ we had some strong monsoon storms and during one last week, my car was shaken from the winds and rains so bad that my driver side curtain airbag was visible. It did not fully deploy but the bag was exposed. There is a current recall on these bags but since this happened before the recall fix(at the shop now getting replaced) should insurance have been contacted before hand since this was weather that caused the partial deployment? How safe are the replacements?

Had an airbag recall and dealer tried to fix it and now airbag light is on. This is a safety issue to drive car like this

Jun 05, 2025

We purchased our vehicle from Big Star Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, located at 15711 Gulf Fwy, Webster, TX 77598. We drove 3 hours to buy this car, and at no point did the salesperson disclose the open Takata side airbag recall during the sale process. After the sale, we met with the finance director, Chris Schnooberger, who handled our payment and paperwork. He also failed to inform us of the airbag recall or the serious safety risks it posed. Our conversation in his office was recorded on their in-house camera system, per dealership policy. Once we returned home, we discovered the airbag recall through the NHTSA website and were shocked to learn how dangerous it was. We were terrified to even drive the car knowing a faulty inflator could potentially send metal fragments into the cabin. We had the airbags replaced at a Dodge dealership in Austin on or around April 29. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX]. I still have the pictures of the Carfax detailing the recall. When we called Chris to express our concern, he downplayed the situation, claiming the recall was not serious and didn’t need to be fixed. His tone and evasive answers felt dismissive and dishonest. My family and I feel cheated and manipulated. There was no transparency at the point of sale, and we believe this is a serious violation of consumer safety disclosure standards. We respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this dealership’s handling of recalls and safety notices to protect future buyers.

ENGINE

On January 6, 2025, Countryside CDJR in Georgia performed internal engine repairs on my 2019 Dodge Charger R/T, including lifter and internal engine work. Only months later, the engine suffered a catastrophic failure while driving. The vehicle became disabled and had to be towed. This raises serious concerns of improper repair or a safety-related engine defect. The dealership denies responsibility and blames a single missed oil change. A single missed oil change does not cause sudden catastrophic engine failure so soon after dealership-performed internal work. This could be related to known 5.7L HEMI lifter/camshaft issues. I am requesting that NHTSA review this failure for potential safety defect or incorrect repair contributing to engine failure.

The interior doors on my car are wrapping and the drivers door arm rest is broken on the inside. I see plenty of complaints on this model with the same problems and there should be a recall done. My car only has 44,261 miles and is well maintained. I was told by the dealer that my extended warranty does not cover the inside doors . He broke it down to the door trim its not the trimp it's the door interior .

I had my vehicle serviced for an oil change & inspection. But I also spoke with a dealership service rep regarding what I initially thought was some sort of electrical issue that has been intermittent almost since I purchased the vehicle from this dealership. Which is my radio going in and out and automatically changing the stations completely on it's on. The rep was very helpful in that she was familiar with the issue and informed me that it's a known issue at this point and the radio needs to be replaced. She informed me that the radio would have to be ordered and that if I had the extended warranty (which I did get on this car from your dealership) then my deductible would be either $100 or $200 that I would have to pay. She looked up my info and confirmed it would be the $100 that I would have to pay. However, when she went to actually submit for the replacement radio, the system did not allow her to and showed that for some reason my radio is not able to be replaced. The representative did tell me that should would have someone follow up regarding this. However there was never a followup until I called back into the dealership service center a few days later. And was told that the radio replacement is not covered & I would have to pay out of pocket. Was not given any explanation as to WHY. I definitely should not have to pay out of pocket (other than my deductible) to get something repaired that Dodge & Chrysler are well of is a known manufacturer issue at this point. And at this point I think a recall needs to be started regarding this issue.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 DODGE CHARGER SCATPACK. IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LEISURE CAR FOR WEEKEND USE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND HAS 13000 MILES. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIMMY FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT VIBRATION BEGAN VERY LIGHT BUT HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. AT FIRST I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT DRIVEN TO OFTEN AND THERE WAS PROBABLY A RUST BUILDUP OF SOME KIND. HOWEVER, IN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP LABELED THE PROBLEM AS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND FOR THAT REASON IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POOR DESIGNED PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE. I'VE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY 58 YEAR'S OF LIFE AND I KNOW THAT A BREAK ISSUE UNFORTUNATELY TAKES LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE IT'S ADDRESSED BY THE AUTHORITIES AND OR MANUFACTURER'S. I'M HOPING THAT THESE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AS I'VE FOUND THROUGHOUT MY RESEARCH THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT COMES WITH OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE BRAKE FAILURE ALSO. THE BRAKES ARE MANUFACTURED BY BREMBO BRAKE WHO HAS ALSO REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A POSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

May 15, 2020

THE REAR BRAKE PADS DO NOT SWEEP THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE REAR ROTORS. NEARLY 25% OF THE REAR ROTOR IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THIS DIMINISHES BRAKING FORCE AND MAKES THE REAR ROTOR INCOMPATIBLE WITH CURRENTLY AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT PADS. THIS DEFECT IS VISUALLY APPARENT WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IT ALSO IMPACTS THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO COME TO A STOP WHILE IN MOTION. I SUSPECT THAT THE WRONG PARTS WERE INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT PRESENT.

Feb 04, 2020

THE REAR BRAKE PADS DO NOT FIT CORRECTLY, THEY ARE UNDERSIZED. THERE IS A LARGE PORTION OF THE REAR ROTOR THAT IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE PAD. THIS IS CAUSING DAMAGE AND PREMATURE WEAR TO THE BRAKE ROTORS.

THE FACTORY HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE BEAM PATTERN IS VERY POOR, AND ILLUMINATION OF SIGNAGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE CAR IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE FACTORY BULBS WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE PARTS TO NO AVAIL. INCREASING THE INTENSITY OF A BAD BEAM PATTERN DOESN'T IMPROVE THE BEAM PATTERN. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE HEADLAMPS ON THE CURRENT GENERATION CHARGER. OVERALL, NHTSA SHOULD ADOPT THE ECE BEAM PATTERN. FINALLY, DRLS SHOULD BE BANNED. WITH NO BENEFIT, ALL THEY DO IS RAISE THE COST OF A VEHICLE AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAYTIME GLARE.

I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ADJUSTED THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT AND I HAD 1000% BETTER LIGHTS ON MY CIVIC I TRADED IN. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS POOR RATING. IT THIS REASON I'M AM IN TALKS ABOUT TRYING TO RETURN THE CAR IF THIS CANNOT BE FIXED.

recall not addressed in a timely matter

Feb 04, 2025

I own a 2019 Dodge Charger, and it has an open recall for the airbag inflator, which poses a serious safety risk. Despite the recall being issued over six months ago, replacement parts are still unavailable. Due to this safety concern, I am unable to drive my vehicle far from home, significantly impacting my usage. Additionally, I used to rent this vehicle on Turo to generate income, but it has been delisted from the platform because of the unresolved recall. I am still responsible for monthly loan payments of $420 and insurance payments of over $400 every month which is causing me financial loss without the ability to safely operate or rent out my car. I have contacted dealerships multiple times, but the parts continue to be delayed with no estimated resolution.

The interior door panel on my 2019 Dodge Charger began to separate/warp from the door frame on the Front drivers and Front Passengers door panels. The vehicle had approximately 32000 miles when the issue started. The plastic trim piece is lifting and peeling away from the door next to the window sill, creating a sharp edge and a gap. This separation is causing the door lock mechanism to bind and become difficult to operate. The window operation is also negatively affected, as the glass rubs against the warped panel. I have also had to replace the window motor a little over a year ago and it is again starting to fail. AJ Dohmann now Geaux Dodge in Plaquamian Louisiana replaced this. This defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety because it could impede egress from the vehicle in an emergency due to the malfunctioning door lock. It may also compromise the integrity of the side curtain airbag deployment area. I contacted the manufacturer/dealer on 02/2020, and they indicated this is a known issue but not a safety recall, so they refused to cover the repair under warranty. The issue has reoccurred/worsened and is present on multiple doors. There were no injuries or a crash as a result of this issue. Photos of the defect are attached to this complaint.

I brought my vehicle in for a recall to replace the airbags and headliner. When I received my car back from the dealership (Union City Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram), the vehicle was returned with a broken windshield, water intrusion leading to mold, corroded and missing components, and now both rear doors do not function properly. These issues are safety concerns and were not present before the service. This dealership severely compromised the safety and usability of my car during a recall repair. I believe this warrants investigation and potential oversight from NHTSA, especially as this stemmed from a recall they were authorized to repair.

The vehicles first issue I had was about a month of owning the vehicle , with the Uconnect infotainment system not wanting to turn off or on and being frozen with only showing a still image of the back camera. I fixed it after I disconnected the battery for about 2 minutes. Then I had a transmission problem which needed servicing not even a year into owning the vehicle. I had to go to the service center to have part replaced, took about a month to get replaced due to back order. Then in June of 2021 the car wouldn't go in reverse or drive. As if the emergency brake was on and wouldn't budge. Had to tow the car to the dealership and leave overnight. When the car was dropped off at the dealership it had to be shaken off the tow bed. Was called to come pick the care up the next day because "no issues were found and car is functioning properly". Now in April of 2022 the steering wheel makes a grinding sound as if it's chewing rocks inside. When it was taken to the dealership was advised the steering column would need to be replaced and the part would be available in the first week of May. When I called to follow up, they advised it would be in May 12th. I called to confirm if that was true and was told the part would now come May 26th. Called again and part won't be available until June 9th. When making turns in vehicle steering wheel sticks and power steering is disabled. feels like I'm going to crash or flip the vehicle.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASH SCREEN SAYING 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. IT DISAPPEARED AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. NOTHING APPEARED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS ACTING FINE. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR UNLOCKED BY THE REMOTE AND THEN WOULD NOT START. THE SHIFTER KNOB FLASHED RED MULTIPLE TIMES REPEATEDLY. I COULDN'T LOCK THE DOOR OR THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ALL DOORS AS IF I HAD THE KEY FOB INSIDE STILL. I COULD NOT START THE CAR, TURN ON ACCESSORIES OR SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. I HAD POWER TO MY LIGHTS ETC. MY REMOTE WOULDN'T WORK FOR LOCKING OR UNLOCKING OR REMOTE START ANYMORE. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY START THE CAR AFTER UNHOOKING THE BATTERY CABLE AND REATTACHING IT. TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WHILE IN DRIVE GOING DOWN THE ROAD ON A PUBLIC STREET IT AUTOMATICALLY SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER HAD NOT BEEN MOVED. IT STARTED ACTING LIKE THE CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN I HAD BEEN DRIVING. THE SHIFTER ONCE AGAIN STARTED FLASHING RED MULTIPLES TIMES REPEATEDLY AND I COULD MOVE THE SHIFTER THIS TIME, BUT IT DID NOT REGISTER WITH THE CAR. IT STILL ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SYSTEM TEMPORARILY BY UNHOOKING THE BATTERY AND REATTACHING IT AGAIN TO GET IT HOME.
