Takata recall I was involded in a accident, my vehicle was rear ended and my seat belts did not locked or airbags did not eject. Also my break indicater always pops up on the dash board. My back window stop rolling down. The air conditioner makes a loud claking sound everytime I turn on or off the engine.and it wont revers. Theeres something new always going on with this car.
I was in a recent accident that caused over $4,500 in damage to the front end of my 2011 Dodge Avenger. I hit the vehicle in front of me travelling at over 20mph and the airbags did not deploy and I braced myself against the steering wheel and thankfully was not injured. There are currently two open recalls for the airbag and seat belt restraint. The police officer on scene was bewildered that the airbags had not deployed, and I'm not certain they would work or not with the active recall due to the two main safey features of this vehicle. Currently the vehicle is being "tested" by Dodge/Chrysler group but they have yet to provide me with a loaner vehicle till they deem the car is in fact safe to drive and operate. I refuse to get behind the wheel of a car in the event I'm in another accident and the two safety devices I rely on do not work. Dodge/chysler is refusing to answer any inquiries I have and I am taking legal action against them at this time.
20plus mile per hour front end accident, police statement that air bags should of deployed. No airbags no seat belt tensioner. Driving my fault rear ended a vehicle estimated speed 20 plus mph. Airbags didn't deploy and my seat belt didn't hold me tight at all my head went to steering wheel. There should be no debate on whether or not my seat belt should of held tight. No help from a company that is ok with its customers driving death traps.

We are being told that the recall on the car has no fix to it. If this is true why aren't we getting our money back? I will be upside down about 5,000, how is this fair to make me pay off a car I had to trade in due to safety problems.
