My vehicle randomly swerves back and forth when driving. It is very scary and could easily cause an accident and take my life. I’ve taken it to vigo dodge and had 3 different mechanics inspect my car over 5 hours and although they each drove my car and experienced what I’m referring to, they didn’t know what the problem is. I was told to just drive it til it got worse and then maybe they could find the problem. I’m scared to drive my car over 30 mph cause the random swerve could make me lose control or even swerve into oncoming traffic. I desperately need help and don’t know what to do.

I had the dealership fix a recall (N9C07) for the passenger seat wiring harness connector for the passenger side airbag a while back. My airbag warning lamp turned on recently and my mechanic told me it was that same issue that the recall was supposed to fix. I was told by the dealer that since this was replaced once already, they refused to replace it again. This is a major safety concern if the passenger side airbag does not deploy correctly. It is outrageous that their part is malfunctioning at no fault of my own and they refuse to fix it.

The brake pedal on this vehicle goes to the floor when braking on gravel roads. it returns functioning after pumping the pedal. the dodge dealership in lake havasu city, az has had the vehicle twice for a week or two and last week told us that these vehicles should not be driven on dirt roads because the dust gets on the ABS sensor and can cause this problem. this car has been driven on this same road for several years and has just started doing this in the last year. the dodge dealership has not been able to duplicate the problem, so they are saying there IS nothing wrong. I paid them to change the master cylinder on the first visit to the dealership because I have experienced similar problems caused by the master cylinder in the past. of course this was before ABS and cars becoming so complicated that I can no longer work on them. changing the master cylinder did have an effect on the problem, but it did not cure it. I believe this IS a potentially dangerous problem and I am concerned that dodge has not taken this problem as seriously as they should. the first case number that dodge gave me was 79023033. they were supposed to send a technician to the dealership to help, but I don't know if that happened. the second case number IS 79309555. They said we could take it to other dealerships for a second opinion at our expense which of course will be extremely expensive. thank you for any help you can give.

The auxiliary fuel pump module developed a crack and started leaking a large amount of fuel. the top of the fuel tank had a large puddle of fuel and it was running down all side of the fuel tank and on to the ground. This IS a major fire hazard. Also there are access panels under the back seat area of the car to replace the pump modules. Fumes from the fuel entered the car from those access points and made it almost impossible to be inside the car. I first noticed the smell after filling the the fuel tank and when I got home I noticed the fuel running out on to my driveway.

I was driving my dodge challenger down the road and then loss power steering. The car IS almost impossible to drive. Upon further reading and researching many challenger owners with the 2011-up have the issue the electric power steering pump fails. I have read over a hundred similar complaints on 3 sites... here IS one sitte https://www.carproblemzoo.com/dodge/challenger/steering-problems.php https://www.carproblemzoo.com/dodge/challenger/steering-problems2.php the electro-hydraulic steering.pumps fail with no warning. I called chrysler fiat and was told its not an issue for recall? Really loosing all steering IS not an issue? Then the part IS over 1,000.00 and 250.00 labor. I almost ate a light pole turning a corner so I find this a real problem and danger with these cars.

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
