The vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. The occupant restraint controller (orc) may cause an illuminated airbag warning lamp due to an internal failure in the orc which may result in the inability to deploy active headrests (ahr) during certain rear-end crashes.

Vehicle was serviced for airbag recalls however the light stays on constantly. Not long after buying the vehicle, I would put use the turn signal and the windshield wipers would come on, they still do from time to time. I took it in for service at the dealer and they could not figure out the problem. Also, from time to time, the air conditioner button will not work. The only way to get it to work is to rapidly turn the knob from side to side. It has sometimes taken up to 5 minutes to get it to work.

Takata recall also heater core issue. Heat only blows on drivers side when set to heat and cold air blows on passenger side. Seems to be a known issue with Chrysler but they do not want to force a recall. Transmission also slams into gear when stopping and at times before acceleration. No dip stick to verify fluid level. Dealer states nothing wrong with it. They stated they flushed heater core and still have same issue. This happens driving in winter or summer on highway, city streets.

S61 airbag recall- I've had this issues fixed twice already and I still have the issue of the standing airbag light. I've been told as long as the light is on my airbag will not deploy in the cases of an accident. I was told numerous times that because the S61 recall was completed. I should be ok, but how can I be sure when the airbag light is still on. The first time I got this item fixed it took two weeks for the airbag light to come back on. The second time I got this issue fixed it took a month or so so for the airbag light to start coming back on intermittently. I'm spending a lot more time on the road now and the airbag light is on all the time now. I've taken it in for the third time, but to a different dealership. They refused to fix the the issue, because they weren't the ones who did the first two recalls. When I as for them to provide me with something in writing incase I get in a accident and my airbag doesn't deploy stating why they wouldn't fix it they agree to do so, but I have to pay out of pocket for the diagnosis and any repairs that would need to be completed. Im not sure if there are other people who have had issue with this type of recall, just hoping someone can look it to it.

Takata recall" I have experienced problems with the alternator 3 times, this vehicle is a 2012 Dodge Avenger, the mileage that I started receiving problems were probaly 67,000 and 80,000. I have replaced the alternator 3 times, 2 times in the last 2 years. The problem started when the engine light alerted me there was a problem I then took the car to get it checked and they said that the charging system was not charging the alternator properly, then it resulted in battery issues draining the battery, if I turned my lights or wipers on or anything electrical the problem was worse. Then the car stalled on the interstate, from there I was towed to a car max. There they charged me for the labor on the alternator because I had an exttended warranty at the time of this particular failure. The next incident I had to get the battery replaced and it was the alternator again after I replaced the battery. Took the car to replace again another alternator failure. I was driving every time I experience problems. See also 11081233

Officially written complaint regarding unreasonable delay by dealership to repair recalled part. First notice was issued over a year ago, have not been contacted by dealership to repair the airbag. In mean time have received 2nd recall for seatbelt malfunction.

- Topeka, KS, USA

We received a safety recall for our 2012 Dodge Avenger that our seatbelts and airbags may not work in a crash. Of course we were very concerned as this was our only car. When we called to make an appointment to have this very dangerous safety recall fixed, they lied and told us it would take a while for the parts to become available. We got tired of waiting and went to trade this car in for a Toyota. We were shocked to hear that this safely recall was stamped with "no fix" available. Dodge will not fix this issue and we lost over $7,000 in trade in value due to this "no fix" safety recall. How can these companies get away with not fixing such a dangerous safety recalls at the expense of the consumer?
