TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH THREE DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND EACH TIME THE SERVICE MANAGERS HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME. DODGE LOCATIONS IN GRAPEVINE, PLANO AND DALLAS HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR EVEN SCHEDULE IT TO COME IN. I HAVE DRIVEN UP TO EACH LOCATION TO REQUEST THE RECALLED PROBLEM BE DEALT WITH BUT THEY HAVE NOT SCHEDULED IT TO BE FIXED, SAYING THAT THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WERE BEING INUNDATED WITH PROBLEM VEHICLES. WHAT IS THE POINT OF ISSUING A RECALL IF THE DEALERSHIPS WON'T DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM?

I RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES AND I WENT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED. EVERY TIME I RETURNED FOR MY APPOINTMENT I WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART IS NOT IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS AVAILABLE. BECAUSE THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME I FEEL THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED IMMEADIATELY.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE COOLING SYSTEM FAN BLADES CAME APART AND THE SHROUDS OF THE FAN WENT THRU THE RADIATOR CAUSING IMMEDIATE LEAKAGE OF ALL COOLANT AND DESTROYING THE RADIATOR. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF RADIATOR COOLANT. FANS AND RADIATOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH COOLANT. ACCORDING TO DODGE, THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SOME SAME VEHICLES (2008 CHARGERS) BUT MINE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR NOTIFIED THAT THIS COULD OCCUR. THEY STATED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAN CAUSE FUTURE CAR DAMAGE, BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. I WAS REFUSED SINCE MY VIN IS NOT COVERED" BY THIS NOTIFICATION, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS IN A WARM CLIMATE STATE (FLORIDA) AND MY MAKE, MODEL, YEAR OF VEHICLE ARE EXACT TO THE DESCRIBED ISSUE IN THE NOTIFICATION
