I have been waiting 3 months for the dealer to contact me with repair parts for my car for this air bag recall.
Air bags, Nov 16, 2024
Airbag safety recall not being remedied by the parts manufacturer for Dodge/Mopar - Stellantis. This remains an unresolved safety issue extending throughout calendar year 2024. Local dealership is unable to repair despite multiple contacts due to part unavailability. Also contacted the airbag parts manufacturer (Stellantis) directly with a complaint. Assuming that Stellantis is being fined for each day that my car is not safe to drive? Hoping so! The wait period for the recall remedy is beyond reasonable. Passenger safety is a current at risk in my vehicle ...

Received recall early 2024: Manufacturer Recall Number19B NHTSA Recall Number24V-198 Problem was supposed to have been resolved early 2024.

Air bags, Other or unspecified, Oct 27, 2024
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.

Air bags, Sep 12, 2024, crash
The airbags failed to deploy upon impact and after impact. The vehicle is located in insurance agencies' salvage yard. Others safety and my safety was put at risk because the airbags in my vehicle not deploying caused me to smack my head on something in the vehicle and I abstained a contusion to my head and a concussion I was disoriented and blacked out at some point. The other person in the vehicle abstained injuries to their leg. Had we of not been wearing our seatbelts we would have been ejected from the vehicle. We could have lost our life's due to the air bags not deploying. I don't know if the problem has been reproduced by anyone. The vehicle was inspected by police and the insurance agency. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I just found out that there was a recall put on the vehicle for air bags releasing shrapnel when deployed NHTSA recall number 24v-198; but the airbags in this vehicle never even deployed upon collision. So, there is obviously worse issues than shrapnel being ejected from them because they didn't even deploy.

I was in an accident. The other car hit me at least going 60 mph into my drivers door. NONE of my airbags deployed in the accident. My car could not move and was totaled from the accident. I was injured with a TBI from the car accident. I received no help from the manufacturer at all.
Air bags, Apr 30, 2022, crash
I was in a car accident where i hydroplaned through 3 lanes of traffic on the highway and spun out of control and smashed into a median wall which effectively cause my car to be totaled. On my dashboard it was giving warning signs the airbag was deployed and my car was unmovable but that wasn’t the case. Not one airbag deployed. I ended up needing stitches but I feel like that could have been avoided if my airbags did it’s job. What else has to happen besides direct impact for them to protect the driver.
