From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at …

TAKATA RECALL PARTS DELAY - MANUFACTURER REPAIR FAILURE.I am filing this complaint because Chrysler/FCA and its authorized dealer network have failed to provide the necessary remedy parts for an active, critical safety recall within a reasonable timeframe.My 2004 Ram 1500 is subject to the urgent Takata airbag recall. I contacted the manufacturer's official recall helpline and multiple local authorized dealerships to schedule the repair. I was formally informed by all parties that they are experiencing severe supply issues sourcing the required replacement parts.The last communication I received from the manufacturer regarding this issue was on July 1st, 2026. Since that date, there has been a total lack of communication, updates, or a timeline for when these safety-critical parts will become available.Because of this parts shortage, I was forced to park my truck completely idle for over two consecutive months, as the vehicle could not pass its required state safety and emissions inspection without the recall being resolved. This supply chain failure has completely stripped me of the use of my vehicle, creating a severe logistical hardship while leaving an unaddressed, potentially lethal explosive airbag inflator in my vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate FCA/Chrysler's compliance with their legal obligation to supply safety recall remedy parts in a timely manner.

Vehicle: 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 I was the driver and sole occupant of my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and was wearing my seat belt. I was traveling westbound on [XXX], shortly after passing [XXX], when I was involved in a three-vehicle collision. The first vehicle stopped abruptly, resulting in the collision. I was traveling approximately 50–55 mph before the collision, and my truck sustained a significant frontal impact. Despite the frontal impact, the driver’s frontal airbag did not deploy. There were no passengers in the vehicle. The component/system of concern is the driver’s frontal airbag and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Prior to the collision, I was not aware of any airbag warning lights, warning messages, or other symptoms indicating that the system was malfunctioning. The exact reason for the airbag non-deployment is currently UNKNOWN. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or altered to determine the cause. The truck is currently secured at my residence in its post-collision condition. It has not been repaired, dismantled, modified, salvaged, or otherwise disturbed since the collision and is available for inspection upon request. I am reporting this incident because the driver’s frontal airbag failed to deploy during a significant frontal collision. I am requesting that the airbag non-deployment be documented and investigated to determine whether a defect or malfunction in the airbag/SRS system contributed to the failure to deploy. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE F

I am the owner of a Dodge Ram truck that is currently under an active and urgent Stellantis "Stop-Drive" safety warning due to the defective Takata airbag inflator recall. I am writing to file an official complaint regarding the manufacturer's failure to provide a remedy within a reasonable timeframe, as required by federal law.I contacted an authorized dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was initially told the wait for the replacement part would be two weeks. It has now been over three months, and the dealership still has not received or provided the necessary repair parts.Because of the official "Stop-Drive" order issued by the manufacturer, I cannot legally, safely, or responsibly drive my vehicle. However, I am still forced to pay ongoing auto insurance premiums for a truck that has been rendered completely unusable for a quarter of a year due to this parts shortage. The manufacturer is failing its statutory obligation to remedy this critical safety defect in a timely manner, and they have not proactively provided me with alternative transportation or a mobile repair solution to resolve this dangerous situation.

Louisville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. 5311 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, KY 40216. I took my truck into this dealership to have the airbags replaced due to a recall and to have a keyless entry remote programmed. The service tech told me it was going to take a day or two to get the airbags replaced and warned me about possibly breaking my dashboard (without replacement or reimbursement) due to the known cracking dashboards on this truck. I told them to be careful (as the dashboard was in pristine condition) and go ahead with the programming and airbag recall. This was my only ride as I live an hour away, and they did not have a courtesy car for me to use, so they ended up calling an Uber to get me home. A few hours later, I got a text from the service tech saying everything was done and I could come pick up the truck. I asked if everything was done, remote programmed and airbags replaced. They said no...The next day I tried to text the tech to get a ride back to the dealership but no one responded. I called the dealership multiple times and finally got ahold of a person who had no clue what was going on. They then told me that the tech went on vacation and reassigned my truck to another tech. They couldn’t get an Uber back to the dealership, so I ended up driving there with my wife. They gave me a report of the inspection that they did on the truck and it said that the battery terminals were OK even though it has a sheetrock screw holding it in place. On arrival, the truck looked like

I was driving to work that morning traveling about 40 into the city when all of a sudden I heard a loud noise, I barely could handle the steering wheel to coast it to the side before it came to a complete hault, I look out my window and my drive shaft broke in 2 pieces was passing me on the main road. Front end was on the side shoulder, back end was out in the road. I jumped out of the truck and grabbed up both ends of my drive shafts and put in the back of my 04 dodge ram truck, then started directing traffic on this busy road of morning commuters. Fluid was everywhere on the road so I'm trying to put sand from the side of the road onto the fluid that was on the road that had leaked out my truck all while directing traffic to keep from creating an accident. An law officer came ask was I alright, I answered explained what had happened and he never took a report instead replied with "Seems like you got everything handled" and got back in his car and drove off. I called for a tow service for their assistance and requested it be took to a shop. Where it now sits unrivaled. It was inspected by the mechanic and learned that the pinyin nut had came off cause my rear end to lock up which caused my drive shaft to come out and when it hit broke it smooth into 2 pieces that caused damage to my transmission case. This could have ended very badly for me that day, I'm thankful that it didn't. But now my truck is tore up do to a faulty manufacturers pinyin nut. And I need my truck fixed so

Refuse a loaner car while the recall gets done

Got in a accident and the airbags did not deploy

On 3/24/2022 my mother, Helen Mallazzo was involved in an accident in Queen Creek, Arizona. Police were called and a report was filed. When this accident occurred the seatbelts failed to restrain her and her dog and the airbags did not deploy, resulting in both of their heads hitting the windshield and leaving two large cracks in the windshield.

I tried to schedule with Landers jeep Chrysler Dodge in Little Rock, Arkansas to fix the airbag recall in my truck on two separate occasions in the first occasion I brought it in. They told me it would take four hours on the phone when I got it there they told me it may take a few days and they don’t even know if they have the parts for it and they told me to reschedule in the second time that I brought it in. The service manager told me he couldn’t service it right now.

Mechanic said TIPM went bad. All gages guit working, check engine light stays on wind shield whipers turn on & off, engine stalls,all lights randomly turn on and off head lights turn signals exc. Transmission and 4 wheel drive say repair. Anti lock breaks acting up. Mechanic said this is happening alot for 2004 Dodge Ram trucks.

I recently figured out a problem with my truck that is an extreme danger. When you fill up the fuel tank at any gas station, it seems that the fuel enters the vapor canister and makes the engine stall for about a mile before it starts running properly. After several close encounters after filling the tank, I looked upon other threads of Dodge Ram owners and found this to be a common problem that was never addressed by Chrysler and never acted upon by NHTSA. Please look into this and advise a course of action to have Chrysler repair this problem.. It is a matter of time before either I or another with the same problem are seriously injured or killed due to this defect. Many Thanks In Advance!!

My family has owned 3 5.7 HEMI vehicles all ranging from the years of 2002-2006 and they have all had the engine randomly seize up on us while driving almost causing major accidents, two of these vehicles are still owned one in an auto shop. I do not believe that this is a coincidence, I believe this is a manufacturer fault that needs to answer to and possibly pay back everyone effected by this event. The auto shop I have the truck at is Lott's auto in Junction City, KS and they themselves know of this fault as well. This needs to be answered to, it is a safety issue and a waste of money to people who trust Dodge with these vehicles, the auto shop informed me this is with the 5.7 HEMI from all years between 2000-2011. Please investigate this and hold Dodge accountable.

I was driving from Colorado to Indiana and all the sudden I heard a noise so I pulled over to the right side of the road.

He stated that the driver shaft was on fire with flames by my gas tank.

Severe rust and corrosion on body and suspension parts. Started at around 10 years of age. Support for bed to frame shows severe corrosion making hauling unsafe.

THE PINION NUT HAS LOOSENED UP AND THAT CAUSED THE DRIVESHAFT TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND IT HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS THAT HAVE TO BE CHANGED SUCH AS (CRUSH SLAVE, INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS,SPACERS, AND PINION NUT) ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO THE 2005 DODGE RAM AND THEY RECALLED THOSE TRUCKS JUST NOT THE YEAR OF MINE.

I FOUND OUT THERE IS MULTIPLE RECALLS

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK AT ANY STATION AT ANY TIME OF YEAR, WHILE FILLING MY GAS TANK WILL CONTINUOUSLY PUKE GAS BACK UP THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AMONG MANY DODGE VEHICLES. IT'S UNSAFE AND TO FIX IT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT, TRUCK ON, TRUCK OFF.

WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, EXITED TO A SIDE ROAD 30 MPH AND HEARD AN UNUSUAL WHINING COMING FROM THE REAR END. THEN BANG! WHEELS LOCKED UP, NO POWER STEERING. DRIVE SHAFT DISCONNECTED AT THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. WAS VERY LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TWO MINUTES EARLIER ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR LIVES MAY HAVE BEEN LOST.

WHILE DRIVING, IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY SO IT'S NOT A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK OR ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAVE 2 KIDS THAT DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS A TRAVEL TRAILER THAT'S PULLED AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO HAPPEN. I'VE REPLACED PARTS I THOUGHT WOULD FIX IT SEVERAL TIMES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IT'S SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING ONTO A STREET OR INTO A BUSINESS SO I'M JUST SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS DRIVING TOWARDS ME. IT SEEMS LIKE A WAITING GAME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. THERE'S FORUMS WITH TONS OF PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND PEOPLE SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TROUBLESHOOT WITH THE ISSUE BEING UNFIXED. ALSO, THIS WASN'T ONE INCIDENT. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V352000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS TRAVELING ON ROADWAY THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, TRUCK SKIDDED TO STOP AND WOULD NOT MOVE.TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED, APPEARS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT HAS SNAPPED OFF. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN A SNOW BANK UNTIL I CAN EVALUATE WHAT NEEDS REPAIRED/REPLACED. THERE HAVE HAVEN BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS ON DODGE DIFFERENTIALS, I CAN ASSUME DUE TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE CLUTCH PACK RETAINER CLIPS FAILING THAT THEY FAILED CAUSING SHOCK LOAD TO THE RING AND PINION GEARS AND THEREFORE SNAPPING THE PINION SHAFT AND WEDGING PINION GEAR AND RING GEAR. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED, OFF ROADED OR DONE ANY HEAVY TOWING, HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND OR TOWING A TRAILER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

THE HEADLAMP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. IT WOULD NOT WORK. I GOT A SECOND BULB AND TRIED TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AGAIN. STILL WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NONE OF THEM COULD FIX IT. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE FUSE BOX.

THE DASH HAS BEGUN TO CRACK AND HAS BEEN POPPING LATELY I AFRAID THAT IS GOING TO FALL A PART COMPLETE MY AND DAMAGE MY ELECTRICAL OR CLOGGED MY AC DUCK WORK.

AIRBAGS RECALL WHEN TO HAVE IT CHECKI AND THE DASH BOARD BROKE APART LIKE PEANUT BRITTLE. THEAY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE DASH BOARD. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE PERFORMING THE AIRBAG RECALL THE DASHBOARD BROKE APART. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE DASHBOARD. ALSO THE CARGO LIGHT CAUGHT FIRE AND DAMAGED THE HEADLINER.*JS
