Now hold on. You know nothing of which you speak. Before I retired from a different manufacturer, I managed the outbound calling program for a different airbag program. Yes, parts are usually not available when the recall is announced, but so many customers often do not take the recall seriously and when told to stay in touch with their dealer, they are not responsible enough to do that. And yes, letters advising parts are available are sent to the most current address based on the third-party vendor who manages the most recent mailing address for ALL US vehicle owners. This customer admits the initial recall letter was received, so they also received the second letter (and third and fourth and…). The government (NHTSA) requires the manufacturer to reach out to the customer on all safety recalls until the vehicle is repaired. This owner’s story is full of holes.
THESE ARE A WORLD WIDE RECALL OF JAPANESE AIR BAGS ON MANY BRANDS IF VEHICLES. THEY ARE ALL MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN.THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ON RECALL AND WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY.I HAD ALL MINE REPLACED YEARS AGO !
This truly is penny wise and pound foolish on Stellantis, the multi-national that owns Chrysler, which manufactures Ram trucks. If Stellantis had just repaired or replaced the truck for free, this would probably not make the news and very few people would know about the severity of the defect. Knowing this, who would want to buy a Ram truck?
Leaving a vehicle with no airbags could be as dangerous as leaving these defective ones in place... what if a vehicles suspension component got recalled? You just gonna remove that too and send them down the road until the new one comes in? What makes logical sense is to not just remove parts of a car, and make them right the first time.
@@TheMW2informer You would lose the bet. My cars are both made in South Carolina in a non-union plant. No problems with Airbags, or transmission, or ecoboost motors dying after 45,000 miles. Most of my guns and accessories are American made in non-union plants. Want to know why the economy is shrinking? Union workers make crap products that cost too much, so they lost their jobs. BTW, I WAS union. Glazier. Then I decided I could make more on my own without a union. Went to college and started and sold 3 companies, adding to the economy and hiring dozens of workers, all NON UNION and highly paid. But, of course, if you thought you were worth more money, you'd quit and convince someone to hire you at the wages you think you're worth. Instead, you have to go on strike and blackmail your employer. I bet you would NEVER trust yourself that you were worth more money by quitting.
this is a product defect. Period. The company cannot evade financial responsibility. I also owned a vehicle in this recall. But I decided to get out the business of putting gas in a pick up truck, so I wonder if the new owner (if any) got any notice of parts availability. I mean, I still get "your warranty has expired" letters from these Mopar bums and I have not owned that vehicle since 2018. Stellantis sucks and that is why Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler will go the way of Saturn soon.
US manufacturers do not send out “your warranty has expired” letters. Those are sent by third-party companies NOT associated with the manufacturer. They slide close to the edge of the law in an attempt to sell you a (weak) aftermarket protection plan.
Did the recall say the airbag was defective as in not going to work, or did it tell owners that it was a ticking timebomb? Big difference. One, no passengers in the rear seat. The other, don't drive it at all.
The recall only involved the inflator. The potential for what we see here possibly killing/seriously injuring in the event of an accident. In this case it seems the spontaneous deployment is likely due to a separate issue that would need further investigation imo. This could happen to an airbag that didn't have an inflator failure I would definitely want to know why! Also important to know that restraint defects in manufacturing is lifetime warranty on all make models in the US. They need a attorney and more media attention!
Real purpose of airbags: to break as many parts as possible, raising the cost of repairs & making more vehicles a 'total loss' so they can sell another. Saving lives is a distant second place.
Id be more interested in knowing how the bag went off without the ignition being on? Theres 3 failsafes on airbags to prevent premature detonation, guessing some aftermarket upgrade caused this.
The Takata airbags can explode (not just deploy) without any signal, due to degradation of the propellant from moisture or humidity ingress. That's why millions of these are under recall.
@gordonslippy1073 that only reportedly happened with the "alpha series" which wouldn't have been put in a vehicle that new. It's a great theory, but not likely. Unless you have some other source of information?
@@nightmarestitchereven if the airbags were deployed by the ecu, it wouldn't cause that much damage. Looks like the chemical inflator exploded which isn't usually possible.

Not sure how it will turn out but I feel bad for the owners. It always pisses me off when recall parts are unavailable but the company is still selling new cars with the updated parts that customers should be first in line for.
@@Look_What_You_Did you didn't listen then. She knew about the recall but the part was backordered. The dealer she went to that ordered the part didn't properly notify her. To me, that is the dealers fault.
The owner was sent out a recall notice, the owner decided to not have the recall performed which would have prevented this exact thing from happening. Not only would it have prevented it, but the recall makes owners aware that this is urgent. For once this isn't on chrysler but a owner who is too stubborn and only wants it repaired when the forewarned problem occurs, it's a little late now as we can see...
We did on my wife's Ford. That thing had more recalls than Mexican lettuce. I took it in for a wheel bearing, and the shop clerk scolded me for the fact that it had 21 standing recalls. I told him to call down, and realize just how badly that makes Ford look.
Airbags inflate via a chemical reaction that creates a literal explosion to quickly inflate the bags. However when it is pressurized it becomes a bomb like in this case this is much mich more common than you think
Chrysler SUCKS! I have a 2012 Ram 3500. Recall on the steering-arm when new. They didn't have the parts, but did later, and I had them replace it, and 20k miles later, the replacement failed. I had it replaced with a better aftermarket steering arm to the tune of $600. Again, I can't say it enough: CHRYSLER F-ING SUCKS!👎🏻
I had a part replaced with a non Dodge part as part was backordered in June of 2016 . Non factory part started leaking after a 3600 mile trip. Part was still backordered when that part failed in 2022. The dealer near ft. Lauderdale I believe was shady as others had complaints with the same dealer .
When you get a letter about an airbag recall and ignore it for 2 years, that's your fault. 100%. Some recalls you can ignore or address yourself fairly safely; the bombs that inflate your airbags are definitely not one of those things. That's right up there with brakes and chassis hardware recalls. The failure modes are not worth the risk.
Do y'all understand how many of these light carbombs are hanging around waiting to kill people, these trucks have real customers and there are plenty around that have not gotten their recall part And FCA does; this I need a clock spring they had a recall for in 2010 and guess how the availability is on that. *Non existant* Classic Italian Chrysler Custamas don't matta🤌🤌
What a surprise Stellantis won't even try to make it right. Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler are absolutely the worst vehicles on our roads today. Horrible manufacturer
If the parts weren’t available, then Ram should have removed the defective airbag until the new part came in given how bad the explosion was. Just my opinion
Notice the right side body damage, the truck was clearly in a side impact. the airbag deployed then ,,the people are trying to defraud the Mfg.
Месяц назад+1
She should be dealing with the truck manufacturer. The Dealer didn't make the truck and isn't going to do anything to help her. The Dealer quit caring when the truck rolled off the lot.
Thank you WFTV. If it weren't for you this couple would have gotten nothing. It's no surprise that Stellates, which is just a conglomerate for the worst car companies known on earth wouldn't try to dodge this claim. I do like some of their vehicles, but ONLY lease these vehicles as they're crap after warranty.
I still haven't addressed the airbag recall on a car i rarely drive because the nearest dealer is a 2hr drive. I did just unplug it in the meantime. The BMW dealer sends me something in the mail, texts, emails and calls at least once a week to me and my wife for the last 3 years. They wanna make d*mn sure I could never sue!
As you can see crappy stellantis products even as far back as 2015. Don't even think about buying the current stuff. If the parts were available like stellantis said the dealer might have given them the run-around because they don't want to do warranty work because it takes them forever to get paid and there's really no money in it. So now you got to prove that the dealer had the parts and were they the ones that are just stalling because they don't want to do the work .
She says "the parts aren't available" . Funny they fixed my buddies immediately. His Ram recall was fixed right when he took it in. I even texted him to double check. Not totally buying her story they didn't have "parts" for 3 years.
People should know that SUVs and Trucks are Exempt from any of the crash tests that they put your average car through. (Oh yeah it has to be mentioned because people can't put 2 and 2 together 🙄) That kind of damage should never happen from any airbag going off proper position/place.
A discount? F that. Don't buy another thing from that dealer in that state because you know that they don't have your back! They'll just keep you in business with them so they can make money off your misery.
The recall was for a air bag that might go off at random. They never said it was gonna explode and possibly kill people. This is wild i just got rid of my dodge. That is nuts. Dodge should fix that 100%. I would Definitely sue them.
I’m scared of airbags they are too dangerous. I liked cars before seat belts too but I ain’t scared of them. When I’m going to the store down the street in a 25 mile an hour zone I feel like seat belts are unnecessary. We should be able to use as we choose.
The damage on the roof does not look like the airbag as it is pushed in towards the cabin, not outwards, and there is no hole, just some lifted paint off a rusting panel underneath. Nevertheless, the rest of the damage does like like an airbag, and a defective one at that.
You get a recall notice, it's on you.
But parts shortages make it the car maker's fault if they don't remove dangerous components.
Paperwork shows they would notify her when parts came in so this damage is on dodge. Every 6 mo. for years G.M. reminds me of recall on key switch of my rusty, trusty, 2005 Impala. Key switch will only leave me stranded, not kill me like this dodge. SMH.
