Received safety recall for airbag- called dealership and was told chrysler did not send parts. Dealership explained that they would contact me when parts arrived. One month has passed and no contact received from chrysler or dealership. Should i be riding around in florida humidity without repairing these airbags? What good is a recall if it is never repaired? *tr

Although the recall has been issued, chrysler has not released the replacement parts to any dealer in my area (central florida). Further, the dealerships have no date by which they expect to receive the parts. *tr

Air bag light stays on even though there has never been an accident. I don't think it will deploy correctly. It is truly a safety concern. *tr

We were driving on the freeway and we slowed down for traffic. We were going about 25 miles an hour when we got hit from behind. The car was going 40 to 50 miles an hour. The whole dash - stereo and etc came apart but neither the driver or passenger airbag deployed?? I just bought the car from a dealership in september 2013 so everything should have been in working order. *tr

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night. This is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to…

I recently purchased a 06 dodge charger r/t. Vin: [xxx]. Manufactured 3/06. It is equipped with advanced air bags, and an occupant classification system that will disable the air bags if it detects a small child in the front seat. However, on my car, and on the other (20+) cars on the dealers lot, the indicator that tells you when the passenger air bag is disabled is not present. There is simply a plastic…
