“Driving on us1 in the florida keys, key largo. Pulled into turning lane, applied brakes, nothing happened, car continued at regular speed, kept applying brakes without response until the car collided at approximately 30 MPH into a white suburban vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. Tried to get attention from Dodge and the dealer that replaced the ABS system the month prior without success. I suffered multiple herniated discs in my cervical.”
NHTSA complaint #10669303, filed 2014-12, 99,000 miles“We received a safety recall notice in late july (?) and my husband went to roy's grand Dodge to schedule an appointment. He was told it would be awhile until they could get to us because there were so many of the recalls. My husband returned to check on a date to have the recall fixed on august 28 and was told they could only do 3-4 recalls a week and they would get to us sometime. Over a month has passed since wanting to fix the recall and I am afraid to drive this Dodge. What happens if I have an accident in the Dodge before the air bag is repaired?”
NHTSA complaint #10760625, filed 2015-09, 88,000 miles“My family was in a violent car accident involving our 2007 Dodge Durango. We were hit head on in the driver's side by an SUV going between 60-80 according to state police. The entire driver's side of the truck was completely caved in by the impact that included flying glass, metal fragments etc. The airbags did come out, but did not inflate and just came down like a cape . They were useless in preventing any bodily injuries. My wife was driving and injured her left shoulder, her back and up into her neck. My daughter was in the back driver's side passenger seat and hurt her head pretty bad. …”
NHTSA complaint #10883342, filed 2016-07, 110,000 miles“Thank you for asking chrysler to recall all affected airbag vehicles nationwide. I have sent chrysler several emails explaining that I spend much time in florida, that the humidity exposure thus far has rusted out my original alternator and it had to be replaced last year. This should be plenty of proof that my Durango should receive airbag replacements. Chrysler has continually dodged this request and has failed to stand behind their product. Please let me know how this is possible, and what I can do about this in addition to never purchasing a chrysler/Dodge product again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10667126, filed 2014-12, 87,000 miles“Takata recall (not sure). While driving (40 MPH to 45 MPH) on a rainy afternoon on saturday november 18, 20017 the right side panel airbag deployed without been in any type or accident or nothing, besides that it was raining very hard. It sound like a big explosion inside the car making me almost lost vehicle control.”
