Takata recall...........dodge still hasn't replaced the affected air bag
Takata recall i took the durango to orange coast dodge in costa mesa to fix the recall. they inserted a diagnostic device that showed that the air bag system was off line. no warning light was showing on the dash. when starting the vehicle the airbag light and the restraint system indicators on the dash light up for a few seconds then go off. the dealer ran a diagnostics and found that the airbag system was not initialized and that the warning light does not come on because the vehicle computer cannot connect to the system. he said its as if the system is not installed. the service associate said that he's seen this before and doesn't know for sure how it happens - maybe a voltage spike or battery issue. they performed the recall, initialized the system, tested and say everything works. cost me $155. how will i know for sure that my airbags are online if the indicators don't show me? i had a front end collision in the vehicle in 2015 and the airbags did not deploy - see attached photo. after the collision the transfer case motor was stuck in 4 wheel ...
Takata recall. i took my vehicle in to have this recall fixed and was told it was repaired. then i received another notice and was informed by the dealership they would contact me when they had the parts. i was never contacted and moved but still have the same number. now i receive all this information about the danger and this vehicle is my wife and children's primary source of transportation. i fear for their lives while driving this vehicle, especially after watching the video. also during the same time frame of this recall, my electronics on the vehicle began acting erratically. they still do occasionally but we have to drive it nonetheless. the instrument cluster will go dead with no lights or gauges working, the a.c. will blow heat only or stop, the alarm goes off on its on, etc. all this while it is still running and drivable but you don't know how fast! right now it's acting somewhat normal. i really feel i was wronged in buying this vehicle! the date i listed was the first time it happened but it has happened several times after that up to last month.

Takata recall i almost got into a really bad accident yesterday with my family in the car ( my daughter was in the passenger seat). all i could think about was the airbag going off and killing my child due to metal fragments deploying from the airbag. we should not have to worry about these kind of things. we have enough to worry about in the road with crazy drivers as it is. it seems like the parts are never going to come in to fix our air bags. i want a car i can drive safely with my family until my airbag gets fixed. i think it is takatas duty to everyone to make them feel safe.
