Problems with Chrysler and Ram - Warranty Issue - Fan Shroud Radiator Failure

WTF....this thread has gone from cummins warranty problems to family circle articles.:shaking:
 
Well, I know this isnt a ram warranty issue but some guy was trying to defend ford, so here it goes. We have a 2012 ford mustang, we have been rear ended twice this year. We just got a letter in from ford saying if the air bags go off it will send metal into your face and possibly kill you. Fords great fix was, sorry we are working on a fix. They are saying next year they will offer a fix so drive safe. I will take Chrysler crappy warrenty over ford saying, btw if you get hard enough, you will die or get really messed up.

Not defending Ford either cause they all have problems I see every day at work, but if your airbag deploys because you've been rear ended then you've done something really wrong LOL
 
It was rear ended while waiting to turn, and the person hit them while texting going 40mph and didnt tap the brakes at all
 
The point is front airbags only deploy in a front collision. They shouldn't deploy if you're rear ended unless you're so close to the car in front that you get shoved into them. Even then they may not go off unless it's a bus or something that can get you up to 30 or more mph before the second impact.
 
But still, if they go off, you get metal to the face (might ruin your day) and they probably wont fix it. Next year is the best guess of coming up with a solution.

I know what you mean I have a cousin with a crv and an aunt with an accord and both of them have to wait til next year before Honda will have replacement bags for their cars. The supplier cant keep up with demand apparently.

Research dodge airbag recalls and you'll feel much different. One model affected is a lot better than dodge having multiple lines affected; the trucks even have two and three airbag recalls over top of each other. Some driver, some passenger, some both, some with side curtain airbag issues. How exactly is that better???

Being fair, it all comes back to Takata no matter who bult the car.... I've got an 05 Mustang with an effected airbag, and the scary part is the problem stems from the powder in the igniter clumping in High Humidity, My Mustang has another common problem for Mustangs, It has a leak into the passenger side footwell (I just fixed that this weekend).... The windows would fog up in the thing at the slightest provocation because there was so much moisture inside... I'm still waiting for replacement airbags from Ford, Meanwhile I gotta figure out how to disable the damn thing...
 
If its unplugged it can't go off...


I'd disconnect the battery first for about five minutes if I were to hypothetically work on an airbag system. Most of the connectors are bright yellow so you know they're for the airbag system and won't splice into them

No one here is interested in being fair, only completely partial biased opinionated typing.....

Seriously it is partially takatas fault, but also manufacturers seeking to maximize profits by minimizing costs via cheapest parts supplier bids.
