I swerved to avoid animal in the roadway. Over corrected my skid and went into the ditch at highway speed. The airbag never deployed and I had a fracture to my lumbar 1. Insurance denied my claim and have the vehicle listed as a 2007 charger. They should have at least covered part of this incident as there was full coverage through progressive insurance at the time.

The occupant classification system was defective and failed to recognize a passenger was seated in the front seat during a crash. As a result, the passenger's airbag failed to deploy in a severe frontal impact collision. The vehicle was involved in a severe, direct frontal impact with another vehicle while traveling at highway speeds. The impact was severe, deformed frame rails and was directly frontal. The driver's airbag deployed, but the passenger airbag failed to deploy. The passenger, an adult female, was belted but her head hit the dash in the area of the airbag flap and she suffered fatal head injuries. The ECM was downloaded and revealed the occupant classification system had failed to recognize a passenger was in the front seat at the time of the crash. The eprom data read "front passenger occupant class: Undetermined" even though an adult female was seated in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash. Investigation revealed that TRW automotive U.S. llc and kelsey-hayes company are the suppliers responsible for the occupant classification system and related parts that failed.

Takata recall I received another postcard this week reminding me that I need to get my airbags replaced. I checked your website for parts availability and found that both S43 and R45 are both available. I called firkins in bradenton fl to schedule my replacement of both airbags, only to find out that they only have the driver's side airbag in stock. I have been waiting for both parts to be available so that I would only have to make one appointment. Can you find out when the passenger side airbag replacement will be available? thank you.

Takata recall. Based on an original E-mail I sent NHTSA on 3/6/17, as suggested, I am "filing a complaint" I received a safety recall notice (S43 / NHTSA 16V-352) for the airbag in my 2006 Dodge Charger sometime in the late summer / early fall of 2016. Since that time I have called the local Chrysler (port jeff Chrysler Jeep Dodge) dealership on at least 4 occasions to schedule the airbag replacement. The first 2 calls were made sometime late summer / early fall 2016, a third call was made on Dec 2, 2016, and a 4th call was made on Feb 17, 2017. During this last phone conversation (Feb 17) the dealership service representative told me "we have no idea when we are getting the parts". in the "important safety recall" notice I received it states "if your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the administrator, NHTSA...." I am familiar with the extensive takata airbag recall. But is the delay I am experiencing at the local dealership at an acceptable level. I will add that I am the car's original owner and that I did not purchase the car from the above mentioned dealership, as the local Dodge dealership where the car was purchased was closed by Chrysler several years back. Since that closing I have taken my car to port jeff Chrysler for numerous services as well as recalls, and have been very happy with their timely service. I am just concerned that one of the more critical safety features in a vehicle is taking so long to correct. Please advise if this is an acceptable time frame for the recall to be corrected. Ps: an entry for the "when did this happen" field below is required. I posted Aug 15, 2016 as an on or about date in which, to the best of my recollection, is when I received the recall notice
