This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My husband a I were driving down the highway and all of a sudden a loud sound a bam the air bag in the passenger seat blew open and dang near gave my husband whiplash. Also I have had the thermostat replaced 3 times in 2 years and the car is still overheating. The ABS sensor will not go off and its like the emergency brake is stuck. I can be driving and when I try to stop it is like its locking up.

Purchased this car 3 yrs a go about 2 weeks ago the airbag light remains on constantly the car was parked but remains on constantly. The car has 107K I search for recall on this site and nothing even though there are over 485 complaints for the same issue. What does it take to get this NOTICED by MOPAR this is obviously a safety hazard. I bet if one of MOPAR's dependents was driving a 2013 Dodge Avenger they would get it fixed TODAY for free via a recall are you listening MOPAR"?" I am sure you read these complaints. I will contact a Chrysler dealer in the area and see if they will do the right thing and fix this safety issue for free but after reading all these complaints looks like a losing battle. MOPAR is you want to have customers buy your cars do the right thing a get a recall out on this airbag issue.

When I start my car which is stationary the airbag light comes on & dings (like the seatbelt warning) it dings like 2 times. Then as I drive on city streets & highways, while the vehicle is in motion the light will come on & go off randomly. This doesn't happen every time the vehicle is stationary or in motion, however it does happen way more often than not. And I'm afraid for my safety & the safety of my passengers. What if the airbags do not deploy to help save anyone" I have read other customers complaining of this exact same thing happening with their vehilces, yet there is no recall" such as NHTSA id # 11395069 incident date 01-31-2021 please look into this, and please advise of solution - resolution
The airbag light don't go off at all upon driving when accelerating the engine jerks very badly like there is some power lost going in with the engine I have to press hard for acceleration then it drives smooth then the car shuts off on my an my husband from traveling an when raining the wipers get stuck an moves like a robot so we have to pull over because we can't see due to electric problems with the wiper an this isn't safe at all for nobody car stalling out plus wipers get stuck an the move like a robot not safe
The airbag light keeps going on and off making a dinging noise. There is recalls for vehicles that are the same as mine yet for some reason mine is not recalled. This happens every time that I start the car and continues while I am driving.
On January 31,2021, I was driving home in the rain on interstate 40. I hydroplaned and lost control of my car. I was driving 55 mph when this happened. I wa sin the far right lane and I spun out across the highway and I crashed into the center median at full speed. My airbags never deployed. I have many bruised on my chest, hips, legs, arms and torso from the impact, as well as whiplash in my neck and back.
Car started running hot no lights on. Fan stopped working. Also replace break parts and still a break problem. Then air bag has a recall found out at dealer ship after purchase and they refused to fix. I was driving when vehicle ran hot now stuck on side of road

I I was sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store when the active head restraint exploded on the passenger side head rest. My vehicle was not moving and there was no contact with any other vehicle or object. I took my vehicle back to the dealer and they stated you can not even order parts to have this fixed until 05/01/2021. He stated he would try to close it but because it is made with cheap plastic it was probably broke.
Driver headrest deployed when no accident occurred. Very frustrated because neck is starting to hurt when driving because the headrest is forward but 50%. this happened 1 month ago, 10/01/2020. Vehicle was parked, not occupied.
