NHTSA Complaint #11104848 — 2012 DODGE AVENGER

S61 AIRBAG RECALL- I'VE HAD THIS ISSUES FIXED TWICE ALREADY AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE STANDING AIRBAG LIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASES OF AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT BECAUSE THE S61 RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I SHOULD BE OK, BUT HOW CAN I BE SURE WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FIRST TIME I GOT THIS ITEM FIXED IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME BACK ON. THE SECOND TIME I GOT THIS ISSUE FIXED IT TOOK A MONTH OR SO SO FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO START COMING BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. I'M SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME ON THE ROAD NOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR THE THIRD TIME, BUT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THE ONES WHO DID THE FIRST TWO RECALLS. WHEN I AS FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH SOMETHING IN WRITING INCASE I GET IN A ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY STATING WHY THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT THEY AGREE TO DO SO, BUT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND ANY REPAIRS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETED. IM NOT SURE IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL, JUST HOPING SOMEONE CAN LOOK IT TO IT.
