"I am filing this safety complaint regarding an unresolved, high-priority Takata Passenger Airbag Safety Recall on my 2015 Dodge Charger. This vehicle is subject to an active 'Stop-Drive' / 'Do Not Drive' advisory due to the risk of a fatal airbag rupture. I took the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership to have the safety recall performed. The dealership refused to complete the repair and stated they cannot install the factory recall kit because the vehicle has a Rebuilt Title, and the internal passenger...

dashboard/bracing structure was modified or damaged during a previous owner's collision. I contacted Dodge/FCA Corporate Customer Care Corporate informed me that they will not pay to remove the modified parts or fix the structural layout to make the recall kit fit, putting the financial burden on me to fix a structural issue I did not cause and was unaware of when purchasing the vehicle. Because the manufacturer's authorized network cannot physically execute this mandatory, life-threatening federal safety recall on this vehicle, the car remains an immediate hazard to the public and cannot be driven safely. I am requesting NHTSA's intervention to force FCA/Stellantis to provide a safe remedy, authorize a sublet structural repair, or issue a manufacturer buyback to safely remove this hazardous vehicle from the roadway."

I am reporting a recurring safety concern involving the parking brake (emergency brake) system on my 2023 Dodge Charger SXT. The parking brake has repeatedly malfunctioned and does not appear to operate reliably, raising serious concerns about its ability to keep the vehicle stationary when parked. I have taken the vehicle for repairs on multiple occasions to address this issue and have paid for these repairs out of pocket. Despite these repair attempts, the same problem continues to occur, indicating that the...

underlying issue has not been permanently resolved. Additionally, another 2023 Dodge Charger SXT owned by a family member is experiencing a similar parking brake problem. This raises concerns that the defect may affect multiple vehicles rather than being an isolated mechanical failure. The malfunction presents a potential safety hazard because an unreliable parking brake could allow the vehicle to roll unexpectedly, particularly when parked on an incline, potentially causing a collision, property damage, or serious injury. I am aware of NHTSA Safety Recall 24V-112 (FCA Recall 01B), which addresses improperly adjusted parking brakes on certain 2023 Dodge Charger vehicles. I am concerned that my vehicle may be experiencing the same or a related defect. Despite multiple paid repair attempts, the parking brake issue continues to recur. The vehicle and parking brake system are available for further inspection upon request. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this recurring safety concern, evaluate whether additional 2023 Dodge Charger vehicles may be affected, and determine whether an expansion of the existing recall or other corrective action is warranted.
While parked on a flat surface in reverse (front of the car was facing away from a curve and wall of the parking lot), I had the steering wheel to the left, expecting to be able to drive forward to the left. Despite the transmission shift marking "D" when I let go of the accelerator, the vehicle instead when in reverse, and hit the curve/wall on the rear passenger bumper area
