TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) OVER TWO MONTHS AGO AND CALLED THE DEALER FOR MONTHS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER LATER STATED THAT THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BUT WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT OTHER VEHICLES NEEDED TO BE SERVICED FIRST. THE DEALER DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE PART WAS AVAILABLE SO THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE TURN OFF AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING 55MPH. TURN OFF AT INTERSECTIONS AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL WHEN VEHICLE TURNS OFF.

MY DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES INSIDE ALL FLICKER OFF AND ON AND DROP TO ZERO. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT LOOSES POWER, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE A FIX. FOR IT, NOT A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. MY OUT SIDE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AS WELL, BUT I REPLACED MY LIGHT SWITCH AND IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX.

ENGINE STALLS (SHUTS OFF) AFTER REFUELING. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING (NOT TOPPING OFF).

OUR PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO "DIE IN FLIGHT." I HAVE UPLOADED A VIDEO TO YOUTUBE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/SSAWXDFDSWA THIS OCCURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE RPMS JUMP UP AND DOWN. THE OIL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASH AND DING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHILE THERE HAS BEEN NO PARTS MADE AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE STERN CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND A POSSIBILITY THE AIR BAG CAN RUPTURE AND I CAN BE HIT WITH PIECES OF METAL.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR STALLS/DIES 2-4 TIMES. RESTARTS RIGHT UP BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAS DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, TURNING ONTO OTHER STREETS IN TRAFFIC AND PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS INTO TRAFFIC. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE!
