“There's a open recall for my 2010 Dodge Charger r/t & I took it to cueter chrysler Dodge jeep ram. They had it for 8 days & had not touched the car since I dropped it off. They said they were waiting on parts now it's been 16 days & have not gotten any word back. What am I supposed to do. The recalls are for the passenger airbag & the engine timing chain which is very serious in my opinion but must not be to them.”

“Takata recall: my 18 year old son was in a car crash and suffered from tbi. He was unplugged from life support 8 hours later. Nothing could be done to help him. It is my belief that the airbag deployed with great force and caused tbi. He had uncontrollable bleeding from both ears and massive bleeding on the brain. We never received a recall notice on his car until two months after the accident. Updated 9/13/18”

“Towed my car to dealership on 1/24/2019 due to lifesaving recalls and was refused the lifesaving repairs based off my vehicle allegedly not being able to start which is a lie because the towing service jump started the battery at my place of residence and drove the car onto the towing bed.hence my vehicle still posing a threat on life and client safety as a whole. Which will not be eradicated until I fix the car which in that time the airbags could explode and kill myself and other innocent people.”

“On a trip to nashville we were on the interstate going 60 MPH when it started to rain slightly. Going downhill the rain came down harder and we started to hydroplane. I lost control of the car scraped against the left guard concrete wall. We then spun around multiple times then crashed head long into the right concrete wall. We hit our heads on the windsheild, rearview mirror flew off, banged up our legs and arms. All the while the air bags never deployed.”
