AIR BAGS
THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE P78 / NHTSA 14V-770. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE ON 15 FEB 15. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER, LANDERS MCLARTY DODGE OF HUNTSVILLE, AL ON 25 FEB 15 AND ASKED ABOUT HOW TO SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE PERSON THAT I WAS CONNECTED TO IN THE SERVICE DEPT THAT I NEED TO CALL BACK AFTER THE FIRST OF MARCH AS THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY PARTS TO PERFORM THE RECALL. ON 5 MARCH 15, I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. NOBODY EVER CALLED ME. ON 2 APRIL I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE PARTS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THEM YET. THEY WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT SOMEONE FORM THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL ME ABOUT THIS MATTER. NOBODY EVER CALLED ME. ON 23 APR, I CALLED AGAIN AND EXPLAINED THAT TWICE I HAD BEEN TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT AND THAT NOBODY EVER DID. I ASKED HOW MUCH LONGER I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO GET MY CAR FIXED TO WHERE IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD, I SHOULD FORGET ABOUT REPAIRING IT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL AND JUST TRADE IT IN ON A NEW CAR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL OF THIS DEALERSHIP. I SIMPLY WANT MY CAR'S AIRBAGS FIXED, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONTINUALLY CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND BE STONEWALLED. IF A DEALERSHIP WANTS MY BUSINESS, THEY SHOULD RETURN PHONE CALLS WHEN THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT OVER THREE MONTHS TO GET THE RECALL APPLIED TO IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUBJECTED TO SALES PRESSURE JUST BECAUSE MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD. IT STILL RUNS GREAT, AND MEETS MY NEEDS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT NOW I AM TOLD THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE AIRBAGS GET REPLACED/REPAIRED. *TR
