2008 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES THIS LONG, 11/2016 TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT IF WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR WE NEED THIS TO PROTECT US AND IT EXPLODES HURTING ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. ALL THE I AM SORRYS IN THE WORLD WON'T HELP, IT WILL BE JUST ANOTHER STATISTICS FOR YOUR RECALL. IF THEY ARE STILLS BUILDING NEW CARS WITH AIR BAGS WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT OUR LIFE OR A NEW CAR. MY CAR WAS NEW TO,SO AM I SUPPOSED TO STOP DRIVING IT . THIS IS RIDICULOUS THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW NO EXCUSES. IF IT WAS YOURS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE.

MY CAR, DODGE CHARGER 08 HAS A RECALL SINCE JULY OF 2016 FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT THE INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE WHICH CAN CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO BE RELEASED THROUGHOUT THE CAR DURING A CRASH AND CAUSE OTHER INJURY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DURING THIS AS I HAVE A CHILD AND DON'T WANT THEM HURT DURING THE POSSIBLE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE RECALL STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED, 8 MONTHS LATER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A GOVERNMENT RECALL FOR IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE A/C WENT OUT. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND THEY SAID BRING IT IN IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A FUSE. THEN I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND SAW WHICH FUSES AND CHANGED THEM BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND SINCE THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN THAT LIGHT CAME ON I WANTED TO TRY GETTING THAT FIXED FIRST AND MAYBE THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE (SINCE THE A/C AND AIRBAGS ARE AROUND THE SAME AREA). I TAKE THE CAR IN. THEY FIX 1 AIR BAG (NO PARTS FOR PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. STILL NO AIR/HEAT/DEFROST. I PAY $121 FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF ,START WITH REPLACING THE TIPM (NO GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE OR THAT IT'S A PERMANENT FIX) SINCE THE AC IS NOT GETTING POWER AND GROUND.
