1 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 03/29/2021

On around November late or beginning December of 2020 I come out of the store and my driver side airbag had deployed. At this time being unable to drive I got the car towed to a mechanic shop to see what could be done to make driveable. The mechanic said that it was a recall on the airbag and I should take it to the dealership, but he fixed in order to make driveable. I took the car to the dealership and they replace the (fixed) the passenger side but didnt do the driver side because they said is was for the deflater and not for the bag itself so they refused to fix it. So they want me to pay money on something that to me is a manufacturer default. I think it is unfair for me to be responsible for this repair.

4 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 09/30/2015

Takata recall. When I had the first recall they replaced the air bag and when they did now the turn signals will not turn off by themselves and the steering wheel makes a popping noise when driving down the road and making a turn. I have no idea what they did when they replaced the drivers side air bag but that is the trouble I am having with my Magnum now and you want me to let them do it again. They need to repair the first mistake first but it is my only way around and no dealer will loan out.

6 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 09/10/2005

A car with no headlights hit us on our way out to dinner we were quater mile away from home. We stopped at the intersection and made sure traffic was clear before we proceeded, it was so we indicated a left turn and moved off. By the time we saw the other vehicle it was too late, it hit us with full impact at 100 miles per hour on the left side, no airbags went off. My boyfriend the owner of the car received a fractured rib and has pain along his left side, my daughter has headaches along with pain and bruises to her left leg and side and I received a hit to my face on the right side which hurts if I try to turn my head, pain in my right wrist and a little swelling and pain to the left elbow. The failure occured to me when the air bags didn't go off. For the type of vehicle which it is a 2005 Dodge Magnum hemi ( silver) do we have a valid complaint and if so, how can we receive some kind of compensation for the failure of the airbags and the proper steps we should take to make sure this complaint is registered and where to go after receiving some kind of response from your web site.
