NHTSA Complaint #10954780 — 2012 DODGE CALIBER

THE RECALL DESCRIBES PROBLEMS WITH THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER, AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, AND SAFETY BELT RESTRAINT. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I CALL THE MANUFACTURER, WHO TOLD ME THEY HAD DEEMED THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION BEFORE THEY WOULD CONSIDER GIVING ME A DIFFERENT CAR TO DRIVE WHILE THE MANFUCATURER FINDS A SOLUTION. WHILE CHECKING IN MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL HAS 'ONLY' RESULTED IN INJURY AND NOT DEATH. ANYBODY WANT TO VOLUNTEER THEMSELVES OR THEIR CHILDREN? I DIDN'T THINK SO. THE DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE CHECKING IN MY CAR DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM TO DRIVE FOR UBER.... REALLY? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T THINK IT'S UNREASONABLE TO HAVE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THAT MY FAMILY CAN REMAIN SAFE WHILE THIS RESOLVED. I WILL BE SENDING SIMILAR MESSAGES TO THE AG AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS.
