TAKATA RECALL-APPROX. 1 YEAR OLD WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WEEK WE RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION NOTICE THAT OUR 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 WAS INDEED PART OF THE RECALL. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED OUR DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A 7 MONTH DELAY!! WHAT HAPPENS IF THAT AIRBAG DEPLOYS BEFORE WE CAN HAVE IT REPLACED???

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIR BAGS FOR MY TRUCK AND HAVE CALLED THE DEALER MANY TIME TO GET IT REPAIRED BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET. I NEED SOME HELP GETTING THE BAGS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF THEM GOING OFF AND KILLING THE DRIVER.

TAKATA RECALL FOR OUR 2008 DODGE RAM 1500, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED INFORMATION ON THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMERGING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND THE NOISE BECAME SEVERE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLT JOINT AND TIE ROD NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS RESULTS FROM THE DEALER WERE CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I JUST REACHED 70K MILES. NOW I HAVE A MAJOR FRONT END SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. (DODGE DEATH WOBBLE)

ON ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT TIMES MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK AND ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 90 PLUS MPH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STOMP ON IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT UNSTUCK. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. HOWEVER THE DODGE DEALER IN BAYTOWN TEXAS SAID THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM AND CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. ALSO I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANY REPAIRS UNTIL I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL WHICH I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RECEIVING OUR MAIL DUE TO NEW MAIL CARRIERS PUT THE WRONG MAIL IN DIFFERENT MAIL BOXES. SO WHAT CAN I DO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I AM IN AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE AND OR MYSELF. I HAVE ALSO HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MY STEERING.
