I WAS ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING NOR WERE THE BRAKES CATCHING. THUS RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DART IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN'S LIVES WERE PUT IN DANGER. ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS HIT AS WELL. VIN NOT VALID *JB

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR CALLED SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING AND I CALLED DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID ALL DODGE SHOPS DONT HAVE THE PARTS BECAUSE ONCE IT BECOMES DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO DRIVE THEY WILL THEN ORDER THE PART AND REPLACE IT. I WAS TOLD AT DRIVE TIME WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY CAR AND ALL I HAD TO DO IS CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND GET IT REPLACE. I HAVENT NOTICED ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR BUT THIS IS A NEW CAR SO I DONT WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING!
