Airbags did not deploy during a crash. At Fault driver came into my husbands lane and hit him causing severe front end damage. Insurance company has now totaled my vehicle, no warning lights on at all prior to crash. My husband now has whiplash from the accident.
The check air bag light has come on in the dash back in the fall of 2024. I took it to Tacoma Dodge in Tacoma Washington to have it repaired on October 11,2024. It was determined that the ORC module was at fault and the part was ordered. I took the vehicle back on October 30, 2024, to have the part installed. I had to bring the vehicle back to Tacoma Dodge on November 5, 2025 because the air bag light had come back on. It was determined that the OCM module (seat weight sensor) was bad. I was notified on December 11, 2025, by Tacoma Dodge that the part needed was no longer available. I bought the car new in October of 20215, and it currently has 52712 miles on it. How can a manufacturer discontinue a part that is part of the SRS?
I was driving on the highway and the car started shaking when I reached 65 MPH. When I got to 70 MPH, it stopped I thought I was okay but I wasn't. The tire separated from the axle and the lower control arm fell off causing me to crash. I ran into a guardrail and if it wasn't there, the car wouldn't have stopped and I could possibly be dead. Upon impact, the air bags didn't deploy either. This is life threatening. Something needs to be done about this vehicle!!! This isn't the first time the control arm fell off. It fell off 3 other times to. I am fed up with Chrysler. They won't do anything about this vehicle. It is a casket on wheels. It is a death trap and the next time something like this happens, the person might not live to tell the story. Hopefully nothing like this happens but if it does, maybe it will wake Chrysler the [redacted] up!!!!
Hi on new years eve my brakes failed and I hit a dog going 45 MPH then on jan 5 a 18 wheeler came over on me and I hit my brakes going 70 MPH on interstate but never slowed down it did make a mark in the road but no.sounds or anything. I got over as much as I could I hit the guardrail then spun in two lanes and hit the other guardrail. Not one airbag came out. A few months before that my brake booster went out. Also I have a recall on my transmission but they don't have the part to fix it so it could be throwed I to neutral without a notice..
