2008 Dodge Avenger

AIRBAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY FROM STEERING WHEEL, CURTAIN AIRBAGS ABS SEAT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED ON DRIVER SIDE , SHOULDER STRAP OF SEAT BELT LOCKED OUT. RESULTING IN MULTIPLE INJURIES TO ME WHICH I WAS DRIVER- NOT SURE HOW ACCIDENT HAPPENED. 95% FACIAL FRACTURES , NEEDED PLASTIC SURGERY , INJURY TO S1 JOINTS, RIGHT HIP SOCKET , INJURY IN L4& L5 KNEES , RIBS BRUISED BADLY, SEVERE CONCUSSION..

AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE MY CAR ALSO HAS THE SAME AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN LISTED NUMEROUS TIME (BUT FOR SOME ODD REASON MY VIN ISN'T ONE OF THE RECALLED CARS) ONLINE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF CONTINUOUSLY. READING AROUND I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE SEAT TRACK SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON ALL CARS AND NOT JUST THE ONES CHRYSLER DEEMS TO WANT TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO MAKE THEM DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX ALL THE CARS, NOT THE SELECT FEW THEY (CHRYSLER) DEEM TO MIGHT BE HAVING PROBLEMS.

"TAKATA RECALL " RECENT AND ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 08 DODGE AVENGER IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON RANDOMLY, FROM START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED OR NO INJURIES TO VEHICLE, HAS BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE LAST YEAR. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON, GOT THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED, WOULD START OFF FROM START UP AND WOULD COME ON AND OFF CONSTEADLY. FRONT DRIVERSSEATBELT ALSO STOPPED RETRACTING HAVE RECENTLY HAD THAT CHANGED AS WELL. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, TURNS ON AT START UP AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN ON FOR AWHILE NOW TOO, FROM START UP AND WHILE DRIVING, JUST STAYS ON, SINCE A FEW MONTHS OF VEHICLE PURCHASE, WAS ACTUALLY STILL MAKING PAYMENTS WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT, CAME OFF AND BACK ON 2 MONTHS LATER, BEEN STRUGGLING WITH IT EVERY SINCE. JUST HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TPMS LIGHT ON AS WELL. HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES ON THIS CAR ALREADY TOO. MY CAR DRIVES FINE NOW, DON'T WANT TO JUST KEEP IGNORING THE PROBLEM, WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT FIXED.

MY CAR IS HAVING ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE VEHICLES FORM THE TPMS RECALL HAD. MY CAR ISNT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THOUGH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WONT WORK, THE BATTERY JUST GOES DEAD, THE REMOTE START SYSYEM WONT WORK, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WONT START, THE RADIO STAYS ON ALL THE TIME IF YOU DONT MANUALLY SHUT IT OFF, THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FEEL AS THOUGH SINCE MY CAR HAS ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS AND I HAVE SEEN MANY MORE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS ON THIS SITE AND OTHER WEBSITES THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE REEVALUATED AND EXPANDED TO COVER MORE OF THE SAME YEAR OF VEHICLES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FOR ALL OF THE OWNERS HAVING PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR SOUNDED AND ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
