AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY
AIRBAGS: I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAGS. SHOULD I HAVE? REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOW SWITCH: I HAVE TAKEN MY VAN TO 1ST COCHRAN AUTOMOTIVE IN NATRONA HEIGHTS, PA. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ONE, SO THEY DISCONNECTED THE REAR WINDOW SWITCH. I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES ON THIS PART SINCE, BUT 1ST COCHRAN NEVER HAS THE PART NEEDED IN STOCK. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN, AND THEY WILL NOT CALL ME WHEN IT COMES IN, CAN YOU HELP ME? I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD THAT DODGE IS NOT PROVIDING ITS DEALERS ENOUGH PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL PROBLEM, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NOTHING WE CAN DO TO CORRECT THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STEERED AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND CONTINUED WITHOUT FAIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. IT IS RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL NOTICE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH CHRYSLER AS, AFTER CALLING THEM, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PLAN YET FOR THE FIX. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THE FIX OURSELVES, BUT AT OUR COST. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE ENTIRE STATE AND IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET THAT PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, HAD ANOTHER CAR BEEN COMING AROUND THE CORNER. *TR
