6 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2008 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 01/26/2012

Going west on hwy 20 blew left front tire took me into a tree. Hit it just left of center broke front bumper in half, pushed frontend into engine block. It was repaired. I had cruise control on doing 65 and driving at night around 9pm. I do not remember hitting the tree and was not injured accept for the memory of it. The body shop told me they would not deploy due to the placement of the sensors. In doing research on this people have t-boned another car at speeds well above the 25 mph Dodge says it takes to have airbags deploy, and there's did not go off. Really. How do we hold the automakers liable for something like this. Class actions only get the lawyers rich.

8 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2005 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 10/22/2009

Airbag sensor and rear liftgate. Airbag sensor has been replaced twice. Once by me at my cost through the dealer and once by them as it was under warranty. It is on again and I refuse to pay for the fix again as this seems to be a trend. Liftgate just stopped unlocking/opening. Non-powered liftgate. Only way to open the liftgate is by unlocking it with the key fob and or the electric unlock panel on the drivers side door. There is no way to open this liftgate manually. No keyhole or "escape "latch" inside the liftgate door. I am getting this fixed as the dealer said something was "jammed" in the mechanical device. I asked if I jammed something and they said nope it was a mechanical issue. $369. 99 for the new electronic lock and mechanism. I have read in other forums that the 2005 Durango's and caravans have had similar issues and that the fix was approximately 350 dollars.
