NHTSA ODI 11712137

Airbags. The light did not come on upon start up of vehicle. Electrical. My radio, display on dashboard and Bluetooth would blink off and on. I think that my sons safety and mine were at risk because of the malfunctioning of the airbags if an accident would have occurred they wouldn't deploy. I took it into the dealer, but they didn't seem concerned. They fixed some things and it costs around $3500. The only thing I noticed was the flashing off and on of the dashboard display which shows your speed and mileage on the vehicle and my airbag light did not display at all. My VIN number was covered up with a sticker on the dashboard of my vehicle as well and the one on the drivers door was missing. My car was stolen from Ohio and I found it in Oregon at Capitol Toyota. Dodge Dart 2016.

AT 61000 MILES MY DODGE DART SXT HAS A SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALARM POP UP. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR OPEN WARRANTY FOR THIS. AS IT'S AIRBAGS, A SAFETY ISSUE I PUSHED THE SUBJECT A LITTLE HARDER WITH DODGE THEMSELVES AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. SAFETY IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE FIRST, AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A BIT TO OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS FROM 2013 TO PRESENT WITH LITTLE TO KNOW KNOWLEDGE WHY. VEHICLE SITS IN MY BARK PARKED AREA AND IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SO SHOULDN'T ACTIVELY HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS OCCUR.

THE AIR BAGS ON THIS CAR FAILED TO DEPLOY FROM A BAD CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS HIT NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT FROM A PERSON THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST AS TO WHERE THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID TO ME THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE TOTALED. EXTENSIVE FRAME DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAD NEVER DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE CONSUMER OWNS ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND QUESTIONS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE FAILING. *JS *JS

UPON DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY YESTERDAY, THE 2016 DODGE DART STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL CONTROL ARM, TIRE, AND CV JOINT COMPLETELY FEEL OFF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

ON 3/7/2019, I TOTALED MY CAR AS I WAS T-BONED. THIS ACCIDENT BROKE MY AXLE, AND DENTED IN MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT OPEN IT. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT AND SMACKED HER FACE OFF OF THE SEAT AND WINDOW BRUISING THE WHOLE SIDE OF HER FACE AND GIVING HER A BLACK EYE. FOR SOME REASON, NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS HOPEFUL AT FIRST, THAT MAYBE IT DIDN'T DEPLOY SINCE IT WAS A "SMALL" ACCIDENT, BUT NOW THAT THE CAR IS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SITUATION. WHEN I WAS T-BONED, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STOP SIGN (AFTER MAKING MY STOP) TO WHICH I DID NOT SEE A CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A CAR TURNING TOWARDS ME. THIS CAR WAS GOING APPROX 30-40 MPH (IF FOLLOWING STREET SIGNS). THIS CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, YET MY DAUGHTERS, ON HER DOOR, FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS CAR DID NOT HIT ME UNTIL I WAS ALMOST TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. I ALSO SAW HER AT THE LAST MINUTE AND INSTEAD OF BREAKING (A NORMAL REACTION) I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. IF THE SAFETY INFORMATION ONLINE IS CORRECT, IT STATES THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE SIDE-REAR IMPACT IS BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE REAR DOOR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE I WAS HIT.

ON A DAILY BASES MY CAR WILL NOT START. (MORNINGS BEFORE WORK, EVENINGS AFTER WORK, WHEN EVER I STOP THE CAR AND COME BACK TO IT.) I MUST START THE CAR WITH A JUMP MACHINE WHENEVER I TURN IT OFF. TODAY THE RADIO STARTED GOING OUT. ONCE THE RADIO GOES OUT IT FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF IN MOTION, ON THE STREET.
