We received a safety recall for our 2012 Dodge Avenger that our seatbelts and airbags may not work in a crash. Of course we were very concerned as this was our only car. When we called to make an appointment to have this very dangerous safety recall fixed, they lied and told us it would take a while for the parts to become available. We got tired of waiting and went to trade this car in for a Toyota. We were shocked to hear that this safely recall was stamped with "no fix" available. Dodge will not fix this issue and we lost over $7,000 in trade in value due to this "no fix" safety recall. How can these companies get away with not fixing such a dangerous safety recalls at the expense of the consumer?.

It has been months since I received the s61/NHTSA 16v-668 recall notice,as of today I haven't received any updates on this matter. I checked online and it said the manufacturer hasn't been able to come up with a solution for this problem,I am very concerned because I drive this vehicle every day and it isn't safe to drive. If they cant fix it they should supply a safe loaner car that I can use until they can make the necessary repairs.

I received an email months ago that there was a recall on my airbags and an issue with the seatbelts that could cause injury during a crash. A just recently received an email from carmax warning me of the same. I never received a remedy-is-available email so I looked it up on this site and was informed there is no remedy available because the recall is incomplete. It has been close to a year, and I would like this remedied so I and my passengers are as safe as possible in my car. Thank you!.

Nothing has happened yet with my vehicle in regards to this recall, but am extremely concerned in regards to the safety features (air bag and seat belt pretensioner) that were determined as defective by this recall. One of the primary reasons that I purchased this vehicle was due to the good safety ratings it received, so I am very upset that this is not being fixed in a timely manner. I don't feel like I should be forced to buy a new vehicle due to this recall, but without any estimate on when the parts will be available, I do not appreciate the predicament I am in where I do not have a safely drivable vehicle and am essentially rolling the dice by driving around in a death trap any time I do use it. I am hoping that I do not have to wait until a bad thing happens before I can get my vehicle repaired properly. Any information and assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request to expedite the resolution of this issue.

The vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. The occupant restraint controller (orc) may cause an illuminated airbag warning lamp due to an internal failure in the orc which may result in the inability to deploy active headrests (ahr) during certain rear-end crashes. I purchased this car 02/2017.
