JUST BOUGHT THIS VEICLE SECOND OWNER OF SAID VEHICLE LOOK IT ALL OVER. BROUGHT IT TO A.DEALER SHIP TO HAVE A STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED AND THE FRAME CRUNCHED ON THE LIFT. NOTE THE FRAME STILL HAD BLACK PAINT ON IT FROM.FACTORY. THE FRAME LITERALLY ROTTED FROM INSIDE OUT. AND IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ON WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS FRAME HAS NOT LASTED ANYWHERE NEAR THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE VEHICLE 20 YRS. AND THERE ARE WAY OLDER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD THAT STILL ARE PERFECT. TOYOTA GETS A FRAME RECALL BUT THIS DODGE WON'T AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SO. THIS IS A PROBLEM CONSIDERING IT'S ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I SEE FRAMES BRAKING WHILE DRIVING THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

MY HUSBAND TOOK OUR VEHICLE A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES ALREADY AND EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CODE HAD BEEN CHANGED AS FAR AS THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) WAS CONCERNED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR THE PART. WE WASTED OUR TIME AND MONEY ON GAS ALSO JUST TO BE TOLD THIS EACH TIME. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE. WE FEEL WE ARE JUST GETTING THE RUN AROUND, SO WHY BOTHER.

SO MANY OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE DASHBOARDS THAT ARE LITERALLY FALLING APART AND THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS CAN'T BE DONE WITHOUT THE DASHBOARDS BEING REPLACED WHICH IS ABOVE $1400.00! MY 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER DASHBOARD DID THE SAME THING, ONLY NOT AS EXTREME AS FALLING APART LIKE MY DODGE RAM 1500. TOYOTA DID THE RIGHT THING AND RECALLED THE DASHBOARD! THIS TRUCK WAS JUST PURCHASED FOR MY SON AND NOW THEY CAN'T AND WON'T REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNLESS WE PAY TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD REPLACED? IF THE MANUFACTURER OF DODGE DOESN'T DO THE SAME AND I OR ONE OF MY PASSENGERS IS HURT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AIRBAG, YOU BEST BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A HUGE LAWSUIT COMING THEIR WAY!

AIR BAGS, STEERING
TOOK VEHICLE INTO JACKSONS OF ENID, 4405 W OWEN GARRIOTT RD, ENID, OK 73703 ON 4/27/17 FOR SAFETY RECALL RELATED WORK ON PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR AND OUTER TIE ROD ASSEMBLY. AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON SPORADICALLY AND INCREASINGLY OFTEN. WORK PERFORMED, IF ANY, BY JACKSONS OF ENID DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A MILE OF THE BUSINESS AND CONTINUES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. OUTER TIE ROD ASSEMBLY??? CAN'T TELL. . WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? WAIT UNTIL THE AIRBAG INFLATES WHILE I AM DRIVING, POSSIBLY INJURING MYSELF OR OTHERS? OR MAYBE LOSE A FRONT WHEEL? THIS IS NOT THE ONLY DISTURBING ENCOUNTER THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT THIS BUSINESS. CALL ME ((580) 984-1200). I DO NOT TRUST JACKSONS OF ENID AND THEY ARE THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN. TRIED TO CONTACT BBB, BUT THEY ARE NOT BBB AFFILIATED. GO FIGURE.
