| Seat Belt problems |
Tipman module is melting and has a burning smell and black marks where there has been spark. Fire hazard. Draws too many amps from headlights. Drivers side seatbelt won't register and seatbelt airbag light is on.
I had a single car accident head on collision to guard rails. Seat belts did not restrict me from hitting windshield also my air bags didn't deploy at impact.
(jft dealer info inadequate, no mention of seat belts, no mention of the vehicle being towed, no mention of medical attention) tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Challenger. While driving approximately 54 mph, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a cement median. The vehicle flipped over multiple times during the crash. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and sustained fractured ribs, a fractured left arm, and fractures to both legs. The three year old rear passenger sustained a head injury. A police report was filed. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The local dealer (curtisy Dodge) was previously notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
The car started doing a rear wheel hop in second gear change as already reported to Dodge. Dodge has offered to replace the car prior to the accident via a mr mike macdonald. This wheel hop was previously reported to 3 Dodge dealers who said this was "normal". On the offer to replace the car I was told to continue driving the car until the replacement came. I should have not taken that offer. The car almost killed me. The air bags did not deploy. The seat belt did not restrain me, as my head slammed into the steering wheel. Multiple cases of air bags on these cars not deploying has come up in google searches. Both driver side tires ruptures when the car went sideways for the second time after what I can only imagine was the throttle being stuck. I can provide images later after the hospital of the tire hop marks. Dodge should be held accountable for selling a coffin on wheels. Oddly, mr. Mike macdonalds phone sends me straight to customer service now.
