2006 Dodge Charger complaints

PUMP A FULL TANK AND THE CAR STALLS AT LOW RPM ON A CITY STREET WHEN IN MOTION AND NOT IN MOTION HAPPEN ABOUT 6 TIME AFTER I PUT A FULL TANK BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK OF MY VEHICLE, STARTS PROPERLY AND RUNS GOOD FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STALLS, PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, START AGAIN AND RUNS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES AND THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN, VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, IT HAPPEN ALSO TWICE WHEN TURNING AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST RAN OUT OF THE ROAD THE FIRST TIME AND THE SECOND HAD TO APPLY BRAKES HARD IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, VERY UN-SAFE AND DANGEROUS. WHEN DRIVEN ABOUT 40-60 THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN STARTS ALL OVER WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED UP AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS, POLICE REPORT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION TO UPLOAD AND HOPE NOT TO HAVE ANY TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.

THERES SEEMS TO BE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LIGHT TO FLICKER WHEN DRIVING. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR HEATER IS ON OR DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE VERY KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET BOARDS WITH CHARGER OWNERS.

DRIVING IN ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS, ENGINE RANDOMLY OVERHEATS. HAVE REPLACED THERMOSTAT - TWICE, RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, COOLANT FLUSH - TWICE, PRESSURE TEST, RADIATOR HOSE, WATER PUMP. STILL OVERHEATING AND BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.

STARTED ENGINE AND VIOLENTLY STARTED SHAKING AND THEN SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AN RESTARTED FINE. WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON RAMP MOMENTS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO START AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD TO GET TOWED ON THE HIGHWAY ON RAMP. ENGINE HAS BEEN DEEMED UNFIX-ABLE BY AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AN A NEW ONE MUST BE USED TO REPLACE IT.

2004 TO 2008 JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER 5.7 HEMI MOTORS ARE PRONE TO DROPPING VALVE SEATS WHICH IN TURN SHOOT FRAGMENTS OF METAL THROUGHOUT DESTROYING THE MOTOR. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT WITH NUMEROUS DOCUMENTAION ONLINE. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MOTOR CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING OR ON FIRST START UP. THE COST TO REPLACE THE MOTOR CAN RANGE FROM 5,000 TO 7,000 IN REPAIR COST TO THE CONSUMER.

MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER REFUELING, MY VEHICLE STALLS ANYWHERE FROM 1-6 TIMES AT RANDOM TIMES. IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND CITY DRIVING. THERE IS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER (BRAKES AND STEERING INCLUDED) HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS SUPPOSEDLY COVERED BY EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT MY VIN IS NOT "ELIGIBLE" FOR SOME REASON. IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED $1500+ EXPENSE. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE ABANDON MY HERE. EVEN THOUGH IM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, IM NOT ELIGIBLE BECAUSE MY VIN RANGE MISSED THE LIFETIME WARRANTY.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE STALLS SHUTS ITSELF OFF ON START UP OR WHILE IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC. LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2016. DODGE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND WHY IT STALLS EVEN THOUGH IT STALLED ON THEM WHILE THEY HAD IT IN THERE SHOP. THE REASON FOR THE STALL IS UNKNOWN . NORMAL VEHICLE SERVICING IS UP TO DATE BUT THE CAR STALLING CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM.

HAS A BLOWN MOTOR AND AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC IT HAS BEEN DETERMINE AND TOLD TO ME THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN FROM DODGE THIS PARTICULAR YEAR WITH THE CHARGER ENGINES BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC CAVE SEATS MELTING AND NOT ALLOWING THE OIL TO FLOW TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE AND CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE LIKE MY ENGINE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A RECALL ITEM EVEN IF IT A REMANUFACT ITEM. PLEASE REPLY TO ME AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TAMARA RECALL.. .. ON AUGUST 31ST I WENT TO THE BANK AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE BANK THE CAR TURNED ON AND START MAKING NOISE I NEED TURN OFF RIGHT AWAY I COULD NOT TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE I CHECK ON THE INTERNET FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S MANY MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TALK TO SOMEBODY WHERE THE MECHANIC PLACES AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT IS KIND OF COMMON ON THIS KIND OF CARS ESPECIALLY FOR THAT YEAR 2006 SO IT SEEMS LIKE DODGE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET I WILL APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD GET HELP TO FIX MY CAR HAS LESS THAN A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND IT'S JUST SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY

WHEN I FILL THE CAR UP AND IT STOPS THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY, I CLOSE THE GAS CAP AND START THE CAR. WHEN I DRIVE OFF IT WILL STALL. IT WILL START BACK UP RIGHT AFTER BUT I HAVE BEEN MAKING A TURN AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR HAS STALLED LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN I FILL THE CAR UP. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I CAN ONLY FILL THE CAR 3/4 OF THE WAY UP.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO CHANGE LANES TO GO AROUND A SLOWER VEHICLE. AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT SNAPPED OFF AND FELL ON THE FLOOR CAUSING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AS I COULD NO LONGER CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BY LEANING DOWN AND DEPRESSING THE PEDAL WITH MY HAND WHILE HOLDING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE OTHER. I CONTACTED DODGE TO TRY AND GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR THAT I MADE MYSELF BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CONTAINED IN ON LINE FORUMS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THE SAME AND/OR SIMILAR CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

CAR KEEPS STALLING RANDOMLY AT STOPS. IT WILL EVEN STALL WHILE DRIVING GOING UP HILLS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. MOST TIMES IT WILL NOT COMPLETELY STALL (STUDDER) AND CONTINUE ON. IF IT DOES STALL COMPLETELY, SOMETIMES TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO TRY AND RESTART THE ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME AND RANDOMLY TURN OFF. DTC SHOWS P0700 AND U0100. LOTS OF OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. JUST GOOGLE CODES AND LOOK AT ALL DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP FORUMS.

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN PARK, SAFETY RELEASE SWITCH DOES NOTHING

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVIEWAY, PARTIALLY BLOCKING IN OTHER VEHICLES IN GARAGE, AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER COULD NOT BE MOVED OUT OF PARK ON THE MORNING OF 6/29/17, STRANDING VEHICLE FROM BEING MOVED BY OWNER. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE USING GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND PROBLEM LISTED UNDER CHRYSLER RECALL OF SOME 2005-2007 CHARGER/MAGNUM/300 MODELS, AND FOUND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO SIDE OF TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY BY REMOVING ONE PIECE OF TRIM, AND WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE OVER TO DARCARS CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND DEALERSHIP TO DROP FOR RECALL REPAIR. I LEFT VEHICLE AND THEN WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPT STAFF NEXT DAY ON 6/30/17 THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF RECALL, AND WOULD COST ME $510 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY RATHER THAN REPLACE THE SMALL CHEAP PLASTIC KNOWN CHRYSLER DEFECT THAT HAS PROBABLY ALREADY HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF CHARGERS/MAGNUMS/300S. LUCKY FOR ME THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUAITON WHERE I NEEDED TO MOVE MY CAR IMMEDIATELY TO GO TO HOSPITAL, OR AVOID A FLASH FLLOOD, HURRICANE, OR TORNADO OR THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. IN ADDITION, I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THE $16 PART ONLINE NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ALONG WITH MANY VIDEOS ON HOW TO FIX IT YOURSELF, AND ORDERED IT ON 6/30/17 AND HAD THE CAR REPAIRED MYSELF AT HOME ON 7/2/17 A FEW HOURS AFTER RECEIVING THE PART IN THE MAIL. CH

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE, DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO A DRUNK DRIVER COMING THE WRONG WAY ON A FREEWAY. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE, DEFORMED FRAME RAILS AND WAS DIRECTLY FRONTAL. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER, AN ADULT FEMALE, WAS BELTED BUT HER HEAD HIT THE DASH IN THE AREA OF THE AIRBAG FLAP AND SHE SUFFERED FATAL HEAD INJURIES. SEE ALSO ODI 11062044. *DSY

VALVE SEAT DROPPED IN THE #6 CYLINDER DESTROYING THE ENGINE. NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY OVERHAULED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER, I FOUND THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.

CAR RUNNING FINE. STOPPED AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. 10 MINUTES LATER , CHECKED OIL AND FLUIDS ,STARTED ENGINE AND ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING. EXHAUST SMOKE AND THEN ENGINE QUIT RUNNING. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN ENGINE FALIURE HAPPENED.

1. AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE CAR IS SUBJECT TO ENGINE SHUTTING OFF PERIODICALLY. 2. CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND CANNOT BE GOTTEN OUT OF PARK

THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ALSO AT AT COMPLETE STOP. LIKE A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WITH THIS BEING A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 06 MODEL. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. I ONLY HAVE 62K ON IT AND I KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. IF SOMEONE IS READING THIS PLEASE HELP ME.

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, CAR JUMPS HARD INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE, WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR, CODE U0100, U1120, U0121, U0103, REPLACED COMPUTER AND HAD NO CHANGE OF CONDITION, NO TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TO CHECK FLUID, A MUST TAKE TO DEALER ITEM THAT IS NOT SENSIBLE.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG HWY, NOTICED ENGINE TEMP GETTING WARM (APPARENTLY ANOTHER RADIATOR HAD BLOWN AND WAS DUMPING COOLANT UNDER CAR), SO I STARTED TRYING TO GET TO SIDE LANES. THEN SAW TEMP WAS CLOSE TO RED, SO I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF (AT SPEED) AND COASTED OFF TO SHOULDER. DETERMINED RADIATOR WAS UNFIXABLE AND WAITED FOR TOW. ENGINE HAD COOLED SO TRIED TO START THE ENGINE TO BRIEFLY ADJUST IT TO BE PICKED UP BY TOW TRUCK. ENGINE WAS HARD TO START, THEN BEGAN MAKING AWFUL CLANKING, PINGING, RATTLING NOISES FOR A BIT, THEN STALLED OUT. HAD IT BROUGHT HOME AND ENDED UP FINDING THAT THE INTAKE VALVE SEATS FOR CYLINDERS #4 AND 8 HAD DROPPED OUT OF THE HEAD AND HAD BEEN RATTLING AROUND AGAINST VALVES AND MADE SEVERAL DINGS IN PISTONS. ENDED UP COSTING ME OVER $2500 TO FIX THE TOP END, BUT I MAY STILL BE DEALING WITH PISTON RING DAMAGE ISSUES.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T JUST SHUTOFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING. STALLS WHILE MOVING THRU TRAFFIC OR AT SLOW SPEED AND STOP LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VALVE INSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK ALLOWED RAW FUEL TO ENTER INTO THE FUEL LINES, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING HOME, THE CAR STALLED ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOME. TOOK 3-4 TIME TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED ANOTHER POSTCARD THIS WEEK REMINDING ME THAT I NEED TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I CHECKED YOUR WEBSITE FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY AND FOUND THAT BOTH S43 AND R45 ARE BOTH AVAILABLE. I CALLED FIRKINS IN BRADENTON FL TO SCHEDULE MY REPLACEMENT OF BOTH AIRBAGS, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ONLY HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IN STOCK. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR BOTH PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE SO THAT I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO MAKE ONE APPOINTMENT. CAN YOU FIND OUT WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE? THANK YOU.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HEMI POLICE INTERCEPTOR I PURCHASED FROM THE STATE OF OREGON AT 137,000 RANDOMLY DIES. THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CODE COMES ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PCM $750 HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PLUGS $350 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I ALSO GET TCM CODES. MY CAR HAS DIED AT VERY DANGEROUS TIMES, WHEN PASSING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLLUMINATED.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FUEL FILL UP THE ENGINE WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS OPERATED FOR 4 TO 5 MINUTES. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHEN PULLING ONTO ROADWAYS...VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO STALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS MADE TO THE NHTSB AND DODGE FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE. I JUST HAD MY FUEL CANNISTER REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.

THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IS STUCK AND ITS KEEPS THE CAR FROM COMING OUT OF PARK. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL THE SUSPENSION IS SHOT. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE MY TIRES DUE TO THE BUSHINGS BEING JUNK AND HAVE ATE MY TIRES AWAY ON THE INSIDE DOWN TO THE METAL DUE TO THE TOE POSITIONING BEING INCORRECT. THE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT I AM IN FEAR THE REAR CAMBER MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER, BUT YET THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS. I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW UNLESS I SHUT OFF MY AIR OR HEAT. THEN WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT. PLUS, SOMETIMES MY TACHOMETER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, BUT YET I FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CHEAPLY MADE SUSPENSION. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CHARGER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR STATING THEY HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND IF A RECALL CAN NOT BE DONE THEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE PUT INTO MOTION. I'M HOPING DODGE WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE AT THIS MORNING I AM READY TO GIVE UP. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DODGE FAN, BUT THIS TIME, ON MY FAVORITE LOOKING CAR, YOU ALL HAVE DROPPED THE BALL!

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF; I LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER PULLING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON AND DRIVE AWAY LIKE NORMAL. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI AND THE CAR HAS 37,700 MILES.

TIMING CHANGE BROKE

VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING AT TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES. SOMETIMES AFTER REFUELING. MOSTLY AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING 55 OR 60 MPH AND WHILE SLOWING TO TURN CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWERS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL AND ETC ALL COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48,000 ORIGINAL MILES. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING WITH MY PRECIOUS GRANDBABIES IN THE CAR. HAVE HAD TO THE CAR TO TWO DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

CAR SHUTS OFF AFTER REFUELING.

TAKATA RECALL FCA HAS YET TO REPAIR MY AIRBAG INFLATORS AS OF 19 MARCH 2017 IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL S43 ISSUED ON 26 MAY 2016. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND THE GAUGES WILL GO TO THE MAX AMOUNTS AND THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE CAR RESTARTS AND RUNS FINE AFTER THIS HAPPENS, BUT IT KEEPS REOCCURRING.

TAKATA RECALL. BASED ON AN ORIGINAL E-MAIL I SENT NHTSA ON 3/6/17, AS SUGGESTED, I AM "FILING A COMPLAINT" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (S43 / NHTSA 16V-352) FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER SOMETIME IN THE LATE SUMMER / EARLY FALL OF 2016. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER (PORT JEFF CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS TO SCHEDULE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST 2 CALLS WERE MADE SOMETIME LATE SUMMER / EARLY FALL 2016, A THIRD CALL WAS MADE ON DEC 2, 2016, AND A 4TH CALL WAS MADE ON FEB 17, 2017. DURING THIS LAST PHONE CONVERSATION (FEB 17) THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME "WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN WE ARE GETTING THE PARTS". IN THE "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" NOTICE I RECEIVED IT STATES "IF YOUR DEALER FAILS OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, YOU MAY SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, NHTSA...." I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE EXTENSIVE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. BUT IS THE DELAY I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. I WILL ADD THAT I AM THE CAR'S ORIGINAL OWNER AND THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEALERSHIP, AS THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WAS CLOSED BY CHRYSLER SEVERAL YEARS BACK. SINCE THAT CLOSING I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO PORT JEFF CHRYSLER FOR NUMEROUS SERVICES AS WELL AS RECALLS, AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR TIMELY SERVICE. I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THE MORE CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE
