“The vehicle history does not show any type of accidents. The vehicle history says that the vehicles airbags are in tact. In reviewing my contract from the dealership there is a page that states the vehicle has no airbags.The airbags not being present means the have been deployed due to a collision, right? Im concerned that the vehicle is not the vehicle aligned with the vin. Visually inspecting the physical vin sticker it has rips and is torn is some places. The odometer is always blinking. I am concerned that it may have been altered. …”

“I just bought this car last month, from my knowledge it has not been repaired, this is my first time buying a car or I would have never purchased it, one month after getting the car I finally receive a history report and I find out I have 6 recalls, have been having so many issue with this car since the week I purchased it, the speedometer does not work in heat and apparently the blower motor to the a/c as well huge inconvenience buying in the summer, the recalls state I have issue to look forward to in the winter as well. …”

“When a passenger is in the car, the air bag light and an audible alert constantly go off while driving. Took it to the dealership and they say this: it's a seat belt buckle sensor circuit causing orc. light wires are connected and not damaged To me, the words not damaged indicate that this is not our fault. Of course we're not going to let our daughter continue to drive the car like this, but I feel like $522.79, which is what they're charging, in addition to a $99 misc. fee that I don't know what is, is WAY too much for something that I thought would be considered a safety issue.”

“I continue to have a service airbag error on my dashboard. I have reported to it to the Dodge dealership and they are unable to assist unless a fee for diagnostics and a fee to fix the issue when it's clearly a safety matter. Today I had a repair at the dealership due to a recall (v34) transmission shift cable. I am still experiencing issues with the shifting of my gears. I researched recalls on 2013 Dodge darts and saw recalls reported regarding the powertrain as well as airbags. I would greatly appreciate a response asap. Thank you and enjoy your day.”
