Takata recall my complaint is the airbag, nothing has happened but this is on the recall list, so I want it fixed so I want end up dying due to neglect. Does something have to happen in order for repair work to be done- really.
Dash falling aprt deterioating.
When I purchased my Dodge truck in 2012 the car lot where I bought it had used some kind of glue and tape on the dash it had every small crack. About 3 months later while driving down the road piece of dash fell out under my feet. Small pieces fell out several more times then bigger pieces started coming lose. I had to pull over and remove most of the dash in pieces. Now windshield is cracked my mechanic say its because of the dash being busted up like it is, that caused my windshield to crack.
Cracked dash fallig apart.
The dash board has shattered and fallen into the vehicle. Pieces of the dash fly out at you when you turn the fan on. The pieces of the dash are allover the floor and get into everything. If we ere to be in an accident the air bags would come straight out the top and hit the windshield. The dash board provides no support to the vehicle and would not help anyone in the front seat if they were to be in an accident. .
Dash board is cracked on driver's side from windshield to instrument cluster, and passenger side is crack and missing/ loose pieces on dash just above passenger airbag, worried if airbag deploys passenger may be injured do to broken dash pieces possibly being projected from dash.
Dashboard of my 2000 model Dodge ram truck cracked, it is now a possible air bag deployment safety hazard, I would like for Dodge to fix it so that my air bags do not accidently deploy.
: the contact stated while driving various speeds, and depressing the horn, it felt spongy and there was no sound. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer however, the manufacturer was contacted. There was a NHTSA recall, # 01v153000, regarding the air bags. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Dealer did not honor recall on clock spring if vehicle has more than 70,000 miles. Recall number: 04v480000 summary: on certain minivans, the driver's air bag may become disabled due to a failure of the clockspring, which is located in the hub of the steering wheel.
While driving vehicle was impacted at 60 mph in an head on collision. None of the airbags deployed upon impact.
I am the owner of a 2000 Dodge 1500 pickup and soon after the warranty expired the dash began to get cracks all over it. The cracks became larger and larger and spread and spread until they became holes! large pieces have broken off, and in the event of an accident, I wonder how safe it would be to have these sharp pieces of plastic flying around for a person(even a child perhaps)to get cut with or even killed! a small cut in the correct spot could leave a person to bleed to death. The cracks have moved to the area of the passenger air bag and I am also concerned that if deployed, the bag could be effected by them or vise versa. I have to ask myself, what kind of manufacturer would want that to happen even after they are aware of the situation. Does their responsibility to the consumer really end after the warranty expires? I don't think so. People trust these companies to provide a safe and reliable product and when it doesn't work out that way, we need the support of the federal government to step in and take action any way that they can. Now one might say I am only a tiny voice in a big world, but "OH cont-rare", this is a common problem. I work for the federal government and would estimate that out of about 350 personnel at my office at least 15 of them own this model of truck and many of them have the problem. Also we use these vehicles at work and the same thing happened to them, but they didn't seem to have any problem getting them fixed(I wonder if for free). I just want Dodge to stand behind their product and keep the safety and well being of their customers in mind. I have waited for a while before complaining because I hoped that they would recall the item. I did call Dodge and after being transfered several times I spoke to the recall department and they took my information.
