AIR BAGS
I OWN A DODGE RAM 1500 2003, THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE AIRBAG RECALL, HOWEVER, AFTER GOING TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE MY AIRBAG BECAUSE I HAVE A CRACKED DASH. THE AIRBAG IS ATTACHED UNDER THE DASH, AND IF THEY WERE TO TRY AND REMOVE THE DASH IT COULD DISINTEGRATE. SO I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN TOLD THIS, BECAUSE I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY VEHICLE, AND IT HAS NOW BECOME A GREAT CONCERN FOR THEIR SAFETY. NOT TO MENTION THAT I LIVE IN FLORIDA, ONE OF THE HIGH HEAT STATES, THAT AFFECT THESE AIRBAGS.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC, NOTIFICATION CODE P78/NHTSA 14V-770, REGARDING DANGER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RUPTURING. CALLED MY DODGE DEALER IN FLORENCE ALABAMA ON ABOUT FEBRUARY 23RD, 2015 (AS INSTRUCTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE) AND ASKED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST AND HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STOPPED BY THE DEALER LAST WEEK TO SEE MY STATUS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY KITS TO FIX THE AIRBAG AND DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THEY WOULD. DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR A DANGEROUS PASSENGER AIRBAG AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ANY HELP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED.
