Daughter was in accident head on and loss control of car, couldn’t stop because KNEE AIR BAG deployed and wouldn’t allow her to step on brake. The car finally stopped from engine damage after about 200 yards but she almost went into oncoming traffic because she was unable to push the brake down. VERY UNSAFE
I was in a car accident. A woman hit my car in the drivers door at 40mph straight into the door. My air bags did NOT deploy. None of them deployed at all. The manufacturer was no help to me at all. I was injured in the car accident.
I was stopped in break down lane and a ford f150 going about 60mph slammed into the back of me and spun my charger into a jersey barrier. Not 1 airbag deployed. If it had deployed it could have prevented my fiancé from splitting his head open on impact

While driving under normal conditions with no collision or impact, the side curtain airbag in my Dodge Charger Scat Pack deployed spontaneously. The deployment caused the headliner and pillar trim to rupture and released what appeared to be metal fragments and more. Occupants sustained scratches and narrowly avoided facial injury. I discovered there’s a recall on this airbag as this is a known issue. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership for diagnosis and repair. During this process, i was informed that the VIN has an active safety recall related to the airbag/SRS system. However, the dealership declined to perform recall-related inspection or repairs due to the vehicle having a rebuilt title. I’m concerned my recall remedy is being denied.
The contact owned a 2020 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at 12 MPH and attempting to complete a right turn, the vehicle suddenly began to jerk left to right. As a result, the contact briefly lost control of the vehicle, coming to a complete stop after colliding with a pole that pierced through the vehicle and protruded out from the center console. Upon exiting the vehicle, the contact observed flames emanating from the engine compartment. Local fire services were not called, as the fire had dissipated on its own. The air bags did deploy, but the contact stated that the left curtain side air bag failed to fully deploy, resulting in injury. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A fire report was not filed. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact transported himself to an area hospital and was treated for a minor concussion and a laceration to his left leg. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car caught fire while parked in a parking garage. Car was off.
I had a accident about 5 days ago where I got in a accident and upon impact my airbags deployed a lot of smoke came out of the air bags I couldn’t c or breathe and I also got burn by the air bags there was a open recall on my dodge charger that they said they took care of how ever messege on dash kept saying service air bag and currently it’s at a body shop being checked
none of the airbags deployed upon impact. We have not received any notification of fault airbag system recall to date. Nothing was disclosed at time of lease buy out.
On July 1, 2023, I was driving on the I-20 going approximately 70 mph close to mile marker 167 in Talladega County, Alabama, when something hit my windshield causing me to swerve off the road and hitting the side railing. The the front end and the driver's side of the vehicle was smashed in and my vehicle was totaled. However, none of the airbags in my 2020 Dodge Charger ever deployed. I did not require medical assistance immediately after the accident, but my concern is that the airbags should have deployed during the accident during the accident. By the airbags not going off my safety was put at risk. If this is a problem in other 2020 Dodge Chargers other people's safety is being put at risk. The vehicle was inspected by my insurance, Progressive, for property damage evaluation. They concluded that the vehicle was totaled. There were no signs or warnings prior to the accident that there was an issue with the airbags. I have also checked for recalls using the vehicle's VIN and there were no safety recalls.
The contact owns a 2020 Dodge Charger. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V198000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who initially informed the contact that parts were not yet available. The contact was later informed that parts were available, but a technician was not available to perform the recall repair. The contact stated that later, while the vehicle was unoccupied, parked, and turned off in the driveway, the front passenger's side air bag unexpectedly deployed, causing damages to the upholstery. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. A second dealer, Arrigo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Ft. Pierce (5851 US-1, Fort Pierce, FL 34982), was informed of the failure but did not return the call. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that an engineer would inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
My passenger interior door panel structure on my 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack is expanding and separating. The warping plastic lip is shifting into the window channel and could impede the proper deployment path of the side-impact curtain or door airbags. This is a known issue with these vehicles and something needs to be done
The contact owns a 2020 Dodge Charger. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V198000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the air bag deployed while the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer but was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
The A/C evaporator core in my 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat has failed twice within a short period of ownership. The first failure occurred at approximately 20K miles in 2022, when the air conditioning suddenly stopped blowing cold air. The dealership diagnosed a leaking evaporator core and replaced it under warranty. On [XXX] at approximately 50k, the exact same failure occurred again — loss of refrigerant and no cooling. The vehicle again required replacement of the evaporator core, a repair that involves removing the entire dashboard and is extremely labor-intensive and expensive. This appears to be a recurring defect rather than normal wear. I have learned that many other Dodge Charger and Challenger owners report identical evaporator failures, often multiple times, suggesting a possible design or manufacturing flaw with the HVAC evaporator used in these vehicles. Loss of A/C may seem like a comfort issue, but in extreme heat it can create a driver-safety risk due to overheating, window defogging problems, and driver fatigue. I live in Arizona where daytime temperatures regularly climb above 80 degrees, even in the winter. A major component like an evaporator should not repeatedly fail in a late-model vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether 2019–2022 Dodge Charger/Challenger vehicles are experiencing an abnormal rate of evaporator core failures that may warrant a recall, extended warranty, or technical service bulletin. Repairs Performed: • Evaporator core replaced in 2022 at Bill Luke Chrysler / Dodge in Phoenix, AZ • Evaporator core replaced again on February 4th, 2026 at AAA Auto Repair in Phoenix, AZ • Refrigerant leak confirmed both times • Dash removal required for repair Supporting Documents Available: Repair orders, dealership invoices, diagnostic reports INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
