MY FAMILY WAS IN A VIOLENT CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING OUR 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WE WERE HIT "HEAD ON " IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY AN SUV GOING BETWEEN 60-80 ACCORDING TO STATE POLICE. THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN BY THE IMPACT THAT INCLUDED FLYING GLASS, METAL FRAGMENTS ETC. THE AIRBAGS DID COME OUT, BUT DID NOT INFLATE AND JUST CAME DOWN LIKE A "CAPE". THEY WERE USELESS IN PREVENTING ANY BODILY INJURIES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND INJURED HER LEFT SHOULDER, HER BACK AND UP INTO HER NECK. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HER HEAD PRETTY BAD. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT MY KNEE, WRIST AND SHOULDER. MY SON WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND HURT HIS BACK. WE WERE GOING 30 MPH IN RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR WAS SPEEDING DOWN THE MIDDLE LANE AND LOST CONTROL AFTER CLIPPING A CAR, SEVERAL BEHIND US. WITNESSES SAY HE WAS GOING 100 MPH. WE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 07 DURANGO FOR AIRBAGS, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL CRASH.

I CALLED AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE IN CENTENNIAL COLORADO WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY SAFETY RECALL FOR A DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME AND I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE FOR DAYS UNTIL THEY GOT AROUND TO IT BECAUSE THEIR DEALERSHIP ISN'T "A DOCTOR'S OFFICE!" I AM APPALLED. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY. I CAN'T JUST LEAVE MY CAR UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TO IT. PLEASE HELP.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES FOR THE AIRBAGS IN MAY. THE NOTICE SAID THAT PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY WERE. I NEVER HEARD FROM DODGE, SO I CALLED RENO DODGE ON OCTOBER 3RD TO REQUEST SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD GET A RETURN CALL WITH MORE INFORMATION. ON OCTOBER 9TH, I STILL HADN'T RECEIVED A RETURN CALL AND CALLED A SECOND TIME. I WAS FORWARDED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONCE AGAIN AND LEFT A MESSAGE ON THEIR VOICEMAIL. THIS CALL WAS ALSO NOT RETURNED. ON OCTOBER 10TH, I WENT ON THE WEB SITE AND CHATTED WITH THE ONLINE AGENT. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP ME. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL TO REMEDY MY RECALLED AIRBAGS.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN LATE JULY (?) AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO ROY'S GRAND DODGE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HE WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AWHILE UNTIL THEY COULD GET TO US BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY OF THE RECALLS. MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO CHECK ON A DATE TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED ON AUGUST 28 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY DO 3-4 RECALLS A WEEK AND THEY WOULD GET TO US SOMETIME. OVER A MONTH HAS PASSED SINCE WANTING TO FIX THE RECALL AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DODGE. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THE DODGE BEFORE THE AIR BAG IS REPAIRED?
