I purchased a 2011 Dodge Nitro SUV in March 2021 from a dealer with all recall information. I contacted online about recall and they set-up to take this vehicle to a Dodge dealer to have required recall work done. I took this vehicle to this dealer and on this invoice from dealer repair it states: recall/ csn 1 [safety recall w09 – driver air bag emblem] cause: f 19w09183 safety recall w 09 driver airbag emblem – remove remove driver airbag emblem (2 -skilled) 997471w part#: count: claim type: w auth code: parts: 0. 00labor: 0. 00other: 0. 00total line b:0. 00 removed dab emblem 19 – wo -91 – 83 after this job was completed, I was told by this dealer that it might take 6 months for a replacement part to come available. I will be notified by the recall company when a new part to be place in this vehicle. Now, when I enter this same vehicle VIN it states as 0 recalls. My airbag concern light on my dash remains on and sometimes alerts me by sound! nothing has been replaced for over 7 months and now it shows no recalls! I have both original invoice pages from this dealer still stapled together and scanned to email if needed! my vehicle would not pass inspection if needed, because of this issue and safety concerns.

Airbags: this vehicle has had a recall for a "ram" emblem being placed over the airbag such that it becomes a projectile in an airbag depleyment. Dodge makes it very difficult to avail of getting it removed. I am not close to the dealership, I am very busy and somewhat disabled. Since the first notice arrived in the mail-- maybe three years ago-- I have returned the notices with a request for them to send a tech to my home and make the repair. I see there has been at least one death due to this obvious flaw, butthey have not cared enough to answer. Why should I take a day so that they can fix this deadly "extra feature" of shrapnel being placed over an explosive? electrical: this is a serious safety issue that Dodge will not recognize or even discuss. Getting the window back up is a matter of finessing the "up" switch every which way, multiple attempts required (switch has now fallen out). Very distracting, after going through a toll booth after dark and 15 degrees. You can't stop and f with it, you have to do it on the move. It can take as long as five minutes to get it back up (window now completely disabled). They will do anything to save seventeen cents per car, who cares if it makes it unsafe for the owner. Not Dodge! I wrote to Dodge (no reply), then the mi attorney general about this, they responded "we have written to this manufacturer twice and have not received a response". Dodge takes no responsibility for their shoddy work. We pay, we die, they keep doing what they do. It disappoints that even the ag's "consumer protection division" has no teeth. Visibility: it would be interesting to learn how many pedestrians have been hit with this particular model. With all the safety regs out there, it's amazing that a design that blocks visibility gets a pass. Unfortunately it is not the kind of thing you can discover in a test drive, but - crosswalks and four-way stops in particular are dangerous. You can hide a ryder truck behind these a pillars.
