SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, WHEELS
DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE ABOUT 30 MPH NEEDING TO BRAKE AND THE FRONT BRAKES WERE GONE. RIGHT FRONT CALIPER BOLT BROKE THREAD AND THE CALIPER CAME OFF THE SPINDLE, STEERING CAUSED MORE GRINDING AND THEN I THOUGHT OF THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE REPLACED THE SAME SPINDLE BEFORE, BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE NOW OR BEFORE. I CAN';T FIND A USED/NEW SPINDLE TO REPAIR IT AND IT JUST PASSED INSPECTION.

DODGE DURANGO 2005 TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 100,000. ONCE THAT WAS REPLACED 4WD SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED AND SWITCHING SOUNDS UNDER THE TRUCK STARTED. THE TRUCK LOCKED INTO PLACE AND COULD NOT MOVE. I WENT INTO 4WD AUTOMATICALLY AND WHEN I WENT TO SEACH PROBLEMS ONLINE I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. PLEASE CHECK OUT HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4148_DS482593 I AM SPEECHLESS AND VERY AFRAID OF DRIVING THIS CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL MAILING FROM FCA STATING THAT "PARTS ARE AVAILABLE" FOR MY FREE PASSENGER AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. I CALLED THE PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED, THEY TOOK MY INFO, AND TRANSFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND PUT ME ON A CALL BACK LIST, BUT COULD NOT TELL ME AN APPROXIMATE DATE FOR CALL BACK. I AM JUST REPORTING THIS STATUS AND DO NOT EXPECT ANY RESPONSE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DIFFERENT STATUSES. THIS PROLONGS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH IN MY CASE, I WAS NOTIFIED OVER ONE YEAR AGO. THANK YOU.

I TOOK MY 2010 DODGE DAKOTA TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (SOUTH HILLS DODGE) ON JUNE 5TH 2017 AFTER RECEIVING MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THE R25 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT ARRIVES. I WENT THERE AGAIN A MONTH LATER AND IT STILL NEVER ARRIVED. ON OCT 25TH 2017 I WENT THERE A THIRD TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S ON ORDER AND I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART ARRIVES AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NOW WAITED OVER 20 WEEKS NOW FOR THIS PART TO ARRIVE. IT'S A RECALL AND A SAFETY HAZARD BUT NO ONE CAN OBTAIN THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS!! I HAVE REC'D THREE MAILED NOTICES AND ONE CALL. I ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS STATED THAT HE IS ONLY ALLOCATED 7 (SEVEN) AIRBAGS A WEEK. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN MY DODGE DAKOTA WILL BE REPAIRED. I IMAGINE THAT FCA REALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO BE SUED IF I WAS INJURED BY THESE AIRBAGS. AS I HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO GET MY TRUCK REPAIRED. HOW CAN I GET THIS RESOLVED?? I WAS DISCONNECTED FROM FCA AND CAN GET NO REAL IDEA OF WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED FROM THE DEALER
