AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE AIR BAGS ON THIS CAR FAILED TO DEPLOY FROM A BAD CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS HIT NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT FROM A PERSON THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST AS TO WHERE THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID TO ME THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE TOTALED. EXTENSIVE FRAME DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAD NEVER DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE CONSUMER OWNS ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND QUESTIONS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE FAILING. *JS *JS

I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO CHECK MY OIL CONSISTENTLY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH 68,089. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS FULL. AT 69,089 I CHECKED OIL AND WAS 2 QUARTS LOW!! SO I FILLED IT AND CALLED DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR VEHICLES TO BURN OIL( ABOUT 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. MY VEHICLE BURNED DOUBLE THAT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ! DODGE SHOULD HAVE A REMEDY FOR A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. SINCE FILLING I HAVE BURNED 1 QUART IN 700 MILES.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CURRENT DODGE DART MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE SINCE AUGUST 8TH 2019. I'VE TRIED CALLING YOUR COMPANY FOR WEEKS NOW I WAS ABLE TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROBLEM IS BASED ON THE RECALL. THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL WHEN THE ISSUE IS NOT ON MY FAULT ITS ON YOURS . NO ONE CAN OFFER ME ANYTHING AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE NO ONE HAS HELPED ME FIGURE OUT THIS ISSUE. ALL I WAMT IS A RENTAL FOR THE TIME THAT IT TAKES GOR THE DEALER TO HAVE ORDERED THE PEICE UNTIL MY CAR CAN BE FIXED . I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATIVE TO THE WHOLE SITUATION BUT I'M TRULY AT MY WITS END.

MY 2016 DODGE DART HAS BEEN SITTING AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE VERY BEGINNING OF JUNE 2019- DUE TO V34 NHTSA 19V293 TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING RECALL! A VERY SCARY SITUATION DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS IN VEHICLE ON MAY 31ST. I STILL HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED A 'RECALL NOTICE' FROM CHRYSLER NOR ANY PHONE OR EMAIL COMMUNICATION UNLESS I INITIATED IT. I HAD TO BEG THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHOM I BOUGHT CAR FROM 1 YR AGO) TO GET ME INTO A LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE! IM STILL IN IT ! AND NO EXPLANATION FROM ANYONE !! I SHARE A VEHICLE WITH MY 18 YR OLD DAUGHTER & LEGALLY I DON'T BELIEVE SHE IS TO BE DRIVING THIS RENTAL (DUE TO HER AGE). I NEED ANSWERS PLEAE ! GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK 'SAFELY REPAIRED' OR GETTING ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE NEEDS TO HAPPEN ASAP - TO AVOID ME CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY.
