“Takata recall, I took the vehicle to goss Dodge in s. Burlington for the NHTSA#15v-354 #r49 passenger airbag module recall and the NHTSA #16v-077 #s14 driver airbag module. When the recall was completed I started the vehicle and the srs light remained on. I told the service people about this and they attempted to find the problem. They state it is a broken wiring harness. They have now kept the vehicle for a week and tell me that the part is not available. I took a photo of the part and got the part number from them and attempted to find one. …”
NHTSA complaint #11124679, filed 2018-09, 47,574 miles“Takata recall. Received recall notice but Dodge dealers will not repair. They either are unauthorized or the vehicle is to big for them. Also contacted the FCA recall assistance center. Fca transferred me to mercedes who does not know anything about Dodge recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #11047775, filed 2017-11, 55,000 miles“Dodge was not able to replace the passenger airbag. No dealers could replace it. I had the passenger airbag replaced by a Mercedes Sprinter dealership and was reimbursed by Dodge. The problem is they can not remove the recall from NHTSA. I still get email and mail telling me to replace the passenger airbag. I've called 4 times over 2 years. Each time they say they'll fix it. It still shows the recall is not complete. How can I remedy this? Dodge has been no help.”
NHTSA complaint #11648837, filed 2025-03“Takata recall. The drivers side air bag was replaced oct 12 2017. In 01/2018 I get a recall for the passenger side air bag. I called freightliner but was told they can no longer replaced the airbag in new york state and they would get back to me. They never did. Ny dmv sent me a notice so I called freightliner and they show no recalls same as your website. What happened? How can I get the airbag replaced now?”
NHTSA complaint #11221561, filed 2019-06“Takata recall I made 2 attempts to contact west valley Dodge in ca in which didn't get a call back. I made appt on 11/9 at simi Dodge in ca. I told them I had a Dodge sprinter on a b class rv. I was told no problem. When I showed up for appt they told me they couldn't do it because of tools needed. I looked on line and no special tools are needed. As I suspected they just didn't want to do the work. A complete waste of my time.”
