My daughter was driving to school on the morning of may 8, 2019. my vehicle (which she drives on a daily basis), 2006 dodge dakota, was struck forward of the front wheels on the driver's side by a chevy tahoe while making a right turn from a side street onto a busy, 4 lane divided highway. the collision tore the front bumper off of my/her dakota and caused major front end damage. her and a friend were both wearing seatbelts and were not seriously injured. the airbags did not deploy. the driver's side airbag was replaced under federal recall on april 25, 2016 at a dodge dealership in denton, tx. the passenger airbag was replaced under similar recall on march 14, 2019 at a dodge dealership in mckinney, tx.

Takata recall - since i got my first recall notice several years ago, i have called 4 times for replacement, 4 times i got "it's on backorder, we'll call when it comes in". i'm still waiting for several years now and have little hope from the call i made today. cut the ts!

Takata recall. i received an official mailing from fca stating that "parts are available" for my free passenger air bag replacement. i called the phone number provided, they took my info, and transferred me to my local dealer to make an appointment. the dealer said they do not have the parts and put me on a call back list, but could not tell me an approximate date for call back. i am just reporting this status and do not expect any response. please note that the manufacturer and dealer have different statuses. this prolongs a very dangerous situation which in my case, i was notified over one year ago. thank you.

I have been waiting months!! i have rec'd three mailed notices and one call. i attempted to get this resolved immediately. the local dealer has stated that he is only allocated 7 (seven) airbags a week. i still have no idea when my dodge dakota will be repaired. i imagine that fca really wouldn't want to be sued if i was injured by these airbags. as i have made every effort to get my truck repaired. how can i get this resolved?? i was disconnected from fca and can get no real idea of when the truck will be repaired from the dealer

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2006 dodge dakota. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags). the parts to do the repair were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. a local dealer (mountain valley motors located at 7535 appalachian highway blue ridge, ga 30513 888-716-5142) confirmed that the remedy parts were on backorder. the manufacturer did not know when the parts would be available. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Fca is send my a letter that parts are available to repair the passenger side air bags yet when i visited two dealerships this morning i was told by both that they did not have the parts, nor could they order them. a call to their customers service line the representative says parts are available but no dealership in my area seem to know how to get them. it seems to part of fca continuing scram not to repair their vehicles. something need to be done before more people are injured or killed. neither fca and nhtsa seem to care about safety at this time and i will believe this until i see repairs being made, and not just more vehicles dumped on the american consumer!

I took it to crown dodge for recall and they said it was going to be 10,000 dollars to bust dash so he come back and said the only thing he can do is cut the air bag off so i took the truck and trade it in for a 2017 nissan frontier and the dodge dakota went to auto auction then to car lot in sanford nc and the guy sold it after i told him the passanger air bag is cut off

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2006 dodge dakota. the contact stated that the dealer (crown chrysler dodge jeep ram greensboro, 3710 w wendover ave, greensboro, nc 27407, (336) 790-9850) failed to remedy both recalls within a reasonable time frame. once the part became available, the dealer scheduled an appointment to replace the front driver and passenger side air bag inflators. the dealer indicated that they replaced the part for nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). for both repairs, the repair time frame exceeded four hours. the dealer indicated that they had to remove the dashboard, which may be damaged, to complete nhtsa campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags). the contact may need to replace the dashboard to receive the front passenger air bag inflator; therefore, the dealer turned off the function and did not replace the part. the contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired within a reasonable time frame. the manufacturer was notified. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Took truck in for passenger side airbag recall, when change out , told me i need a new orc module. the problem is my airbag light never came on until they change my airbag. i was told there was nothing they could do, it would be my cost.
