Three problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2005 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall I've been ask for the replacement approx for 6-7 months. It's passenger side airbag. Which was already recalled and replaced w/ another defective airbag, in 2005. I have the passenger side airbag turn off. However, I want it fixed!.
What options are available. Parts are not currently available to fix my driver's side airbag recall problem. My local dealer does not know when parts will become available. Spoke with truck company they have no idea either. Ask for an interim solution - they don't have one except don't drive the truck or go about your business as usual and wait for parts availability. Can I get a rental truck at the mfg. Expense until the parts are available and my truck if fixed?.
The passenger side airbag shuts itself off when a bag or some light weight item that weighs less than an adult (no specific weight given) is placed on the passenger seat. The only way to get the airbag back on is to take it to the dealer. They charge $100 every time. The dealer and Chrysler corp. Are saying that this is normal for this vehicle. I have mentioned that I believe this to be a safety issue, in that if two persons are traveling and the airbag gets shut off, someone either must wait somewhere for maybe 2-3 days until repairs can be made, or ride in the truck without an airbag. This has happened at least 3 times now.
