41 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 12/15/2018

I'm worried that the air bag on passenger side is defective as the strangest noise is coming from behind the dash like a rubber band is tightening and then clicking on and off. Doesn't happen all the time. I've also had my truck in for the steering before and it has never been right. Now the hood will not shut right. It's always been a lemon. I fight to keep it on the road. It doesn't even have 36,000 miles on it. I'm wondering what recalls I've missed so I'm checking. Thank you.

42 Air Bag problem of the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 07/29/2018

I was involved in a accident 0n 07/29/2018 I hit a car that had pulled out of a side street. I was traveling at about 32mph at the time of impact there was no time to brake even when I press the pedal very hard at the time. There was no airbag deployment. And this was a hard front end hit. But the reason I'm sending this to you is because I had just had my truck in for the airbag recall 2 weeks earlier and was thinking all was fine. But this is not the case. What should I do about this.

52 Air Bag problem of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 12/07/2017

I called the dealership to schedule my recall repair. They told me I did not have any active recalls on my vehicle. After an unpleasant back and forth I was finally able to get a manager or "advisor" on the phone. The advisor determined that I did in fact have an active recall. This error was extremely unprofessional, unacceptable and could have endangered my life and the lives of anyone in my vehicle as the safety risk of the recall is "the loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability during a crash may increase the risk of injury or death. " (NHTSA recall number17v-302). While this instance is the most egregious from a safety perspective, this is not the first time ourisman jcd of alexandra, va has been reckless or negligent with my vehicle and I would like to file a formal complaint. Errors like this could lead to myself or someone else getting seriously injured or worse.

Takata recall, I was told that the recall was invalid and if I had not received a notice directly from the car manufacturer then the dealership would not replace my parts. Another location asked for the VIN number, I had to call back but they continuously put me on hold but then never picked up.

61 Air Bag problem of the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

Takata recall I finally was able to find a dealer with parts for the recall and took my truck in for the repair. The service advisor called me to inform me that he could not assure me that further cracking of the dash wouldn't occur during the repair procedure. I said then if you damage it then I will hold you responsible. He said he could not proceed without me basically indemnifying him. I would not agree to that. The cracked dash is of itself a safety problem should the airbags deploy and send dash fragments flying. If they cracked it further, then it would be even more unsafe. I think takata has the responsibility along with Chrysler to fix the dash since the dash was made with inferior or defective materials as evidenced by the widespread issue with Dodge ram dashes.
