On January 3, 2015, complainant was driving a friend to work at approximately 9 a. M. When complainant lost total control of his 2012 Dodge Avenger due to ice covering the entirety of the streets causing complainant to slide two (2) blocks towards an overhanging cliff where plaintiff had a head on collision with a hugh tree totaling his 2012 Dodge Avenger. At the instant of collision, there was a strange and pungent odor that permeated the interior of the automobile when both front airbags came out but failed to inflate and to offer any support. The airbags only stayed laying flat on the steering column and the passenger side dashboard. At the instant of collision, complainant struck his forehead against the steering column causing complaint severe neck trauma, severe spinal trauma, severe back trauma and severe hip trauma. . . Complainant was wearing his seat belt at the time and so was the passenger. At the time of collision the passenger struck her entire face against the passenger side dashboard where the malfunctioning airbag. . . . At no time did the airbags inflate and there was so sort of electrical problem before the airbags came out that gave off a very disturbing odor. . . The wrecked car is presently at the progressive insurance auto auction and the telephone number there is 724 443 7881. . . I am requesting that an investigation be done to determine that both front airbags did not inflate and offer protection. . . Both airbags appeared to be damaged. . . Also there was a recall on that product in early 2014 and complainant believes that whatever Dodge of monroeville did during this recall was not appropriate and was in violation of federal safety and warranty laws. . . .
I was in an car accident recently where I know that my airbag deployment was delayed when the collision occurred. Due to the upper left side of forehead striking the steering wheel the moment the vehicles collided and then after a very short moment my steering wheel airbag deployed. Knocking me unconscious for 5-10 seconds. Where I was later diagnosed with a concussion in th er. Which I am still currently suffering from.
Received notice of a recall on active head restraints. Vendor did not honor recall.
I have been unable to get the safety belt part for the recall. Additionally, it keeps saying I need to replace the gas cap and even the dealership cant help me.
I noticed several times before this date going down the hwy and the car accelerating on its own. I was at a dead stop and go on the hwy rush our I let off the brake to ease on up and my car went under into a truck doing over $7800. 00 in damages no airbags none deployed I just got my car from the shop on 8/30. I got in the car started it and backed up put the car in drive and it jolted into drive no foot on the gas peddle I had to hit my brakes again then I proceeded home. Still noticed this a couple more times. I didn't think about it at the time of the accident I was taken straight out by ems with a neckbrace. I've sit here confused for 2 months knowing how did this happen knowing it was a brake ease off and brake again traffic and the amount of damage done to the car. My 14 yr old daughter had to convince my mom I was not speeding because of the amount of damage. I will call the shop again on mon am but also Dodge or Chrysler this. I had to pay out over $4k in car rental (no I didn't know I did not hv that coverage. ) I'm now pissed off and confused at did this cause the collision? I've only had this car a year and until that point had never had an accident my fault in m life I did hv one this last week in a rental it was my fault I own up to that but not the first in the Avenger after starting it again yesterday at pickup and this immediately happening and I mean immediately happening again had the shop not already being closed for the weekend and my ride left I would have left the car at the shop. I know of the overhead airbag problems I hv tried to call once before. I will call Monday until my calls are returned please reply to this. I am also contacting my insurance agency this problem and the accident. Please contact me. Thank you toni sutherland 864-678-0876.
The front air bags won't work correctly due to a defective part. The customer service dept that we talked to said we had to pay for the repair because there was no recall on it at the time. What kind of service can I expect from this vehicle and what kind of vehicles are you making anyway????? do I need to consider buying a different brand next time?????.
I received a notice about a safety recall of the active head restraints in my vehicle on 03/13/2014. As I went and researched the information the recall was first sent out in July 2013. I purchased my car in April 2013 and have been to the dealership each time for my scheduled maintenance and was never notified about the recall. I have been driving this vehicle for months with my family, putting out safety at risk. Based on the recall it states "federal regulation requires the recall noticemust be forward to the lessee within 10 days, which was failed to do.
