Takata recall all I want to do is swap out my airbags but not a single dealership near me is willing to work with me without charging thousands of dollars to "fix" a problem that's not even real. I have 4. 88 gears in my truck so it trips the wheel speed sensors as soon as I drive. I'd swap the airbags out myself but nobody will sell them to me. It's been about 2 years without driving my truck anywhere waiting on airbags that nobody will even let me purchase. I've talked to landers Dodge in little rock, fletcher Dodge and superior Dodge in conway and none of them were willing to do anything without "fixing" a problem that doesn't exist with the wheel speed and transmission, it's the 4. 88 gears. I would be glad to do the work myself but they refuse to sell airbags to me.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500. Consumer states vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty air bag sensor the consumer stated on September 1, 2011, the left air bag sensor was replaced under warranty. However, in April 2012, the right air bag sensor was diagnosed as being faulty. The consumer believed the right air bag sensor should be covered under warranty as well.
Both left and right tie rods failed at 3 years old and 4 years old and we replaced them out of pocket. All 4 O2 sensors failed at 5 years old but dealer failed to diagnose this correctly while the truck was still under warranty and we had to replace these and the pcm, which burnt out because of the defective O2 sensors, after the truck was not under warranty any more. The airbags are defective and Chrysler does not have the parts to fix it and we can't sell the vehicle as it is. Chrysler states it is not part of the buyback and now we are stuck with an unsafe vehicle that we can't sell.

Started smelling strong gas fumes. Had checked and found gas tank was cracked on top and running down both sides very close to exhaust pipes. Fire hazard. Had to have gas tank and fuel pump replaced at my expense. Seems to me a gas tank should last longer than 7 years or be a factory defect.

1). We were driving along when the truck, we just got suddenly died. The gas gauge showed 1/4 of a tank. It is a single tank truck, but it was out of gas. When more was added it started up and ran. 2). A heavy rain fell , my sons carseat (latched in the back seat of the quad cab) was so wet the next day I had to wash and dry the padding before it could be used. The windows were shut, locked tight and parked all night. 3). My husband was coming from work a drunk driver suddenly pulled in front of him. Trying everything to stop my husbands truck hit his. The air bags (none of them) went off! they were "on" at the time of impact. My husband was going around 45 miles per hour. 4). As my husband started to work the truck suddenly over revved and died. It was said the transmission went out. It was later found it was a sensor went out. New sensor fixed it for about a day and a half. 5). Truck shifted funny, lost all oil pressure, and died the motor failed. When it was opened up the cylinder walls were not assembled right at the factory it is a surprise it even made it to 87 thousand miles in the first place. The xxx wall pattern was highly visible and never worn smooth as it should have if it were running properly from the start. Some of the pieces are "missing" also in this motor others are improperly aligned. When he called the dealership it was out of business and the Dodge company says you bought it you got it . Not even 90 thousand miles on it . Now we are stuck with the financial burden of paying for my car payment( as to shuffle the kids around), his replacement car (as to get to work 30+ miles away), and this pile of mistakes in a shell that is suppose to be his truck . This does not even mention the burden of the cost we are suffering from to re build this thing to working order again . To make matters worse; this is just the stuff he has told me about so far, more is being found wrong every time he checks in on it.
