Takata reccall. No remedy since mid 2016. It is now the end of 2016. If something happens with this air bag which is supposed to save lives and it causes damages instead there will be major litigation to follow... We need to be safe in these situations, not killed or maimed.

Seem that 6 month is long enough to come up with a fix. Still no solution?

Takata recall: received notice s43 / NHTSA 16v-352 on july 18, 2016. It has been 3 months and parts are still not available for repair. This imposes a significant risk to any front seat passenger that an inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. I am especially concerned that since I live in an area with high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time that the at risk condition is more likely to occur. What can the DOT do to see that these parts are expedited for those of us living on the texas gulf coast? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Dodge dakota. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he heard a squeaky noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed that the bolt joints, tie rod and sway bar were malfunctioning and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 45,427.

2007 Dodge dakota with 63700 miles had tie rod end failure causing steering and control problems. Had this failure occurred at highway speed there could have easily been a serious and possibly deadly event. I had the problem repaired and contacted Dodge about this. Dodge covered all expenses ($265.00) at 65500 miles I took the truck in for inspection because it was pulling to the right. The mechanic found a nail in the right front tire which caused the pulling problem but further inspection revealed that both the upper and lower ball joints on the right and left sides were noticeably worn. I then took the truck to my local Dodge dealer where their inspection confirmed the previous findings. At both inspections I was told that the tie rod end failure and the ball joint problem had

Steering in any direction becomes very difficult, indicating problems with the power steering system. I suspect a replacement of the intermediate arm/shaft will become necessary as the dealer has commented that it is a very popular item of replacement for this truck. I am scheduled for service tomorrow at the dealer for repair. I do not believe that the steering should fail under normal driving conditions.

After cold start and normal warm up, truck lurched forward at a stoplight, then stalled. Happened several times over the previous month, without stalling. If I had been in a left turn lane at a traffic light, results could have been deadly. Dealership correction was a PCM flash software update, at my expense. This should be a safety issue and covered by the manufacturer. The truck is still under powertrain warranty also. *tr

My 2007 Dodge dakota quad cab 4x4 windshield wiper control module failed during a rain shower yesterday. This item has bee a recall on past dakotas, but after contacting the company I was informed that this pickup was not on the recall list, although the problem is exactly as described in the previous recall bulletin: pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper module motor may be susceptible to water intrusion that could cause internal corrosion and result in partial or complete loss of front windshield wiping capability. This is a very dangerous problem, but I was close to my home and was able to drive there. *tr
