BCP (BRANDYWINE SMYRNA, DE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE AIRVBAG I HAVE HAD BAD SERVICE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP, ACTUALLY TOOK THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT FOR A REPAIR GONE BAD, AND HAD DECIDED I WOULD NOT BE USING THEM FOR ANY FUTURE SERVICE. BUT SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WAS A NHTSA RECALL AND BCP WAS THE CLOSEST TO MY HOME I CONTACTED THEM FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND MUCH LATER I FINALLY RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL STATING THEY HAD THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENT AND GET A SERVICE MANAGER ON THE LINE THAT STATES THAT "BECAUSE OF PAST HISTORY WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SERVICE YOU VEHICLE". WHAT!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW A DEALERSHIP COULD DENY REPLACING A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY RECALLED PART SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME!?!?!? THIS PLACE IS A JOKE AND ANYONE THAT GUYS OR SERVICES THEIR VEHICLE THERE BETTER BEWARE........

MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AGGRESSIVELY 3-4 YEAR AGO AT SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH AND OVER , I TRIED NEW TIRES AND THAT DID NOT WORK. AFTER RECEIVING MY SECOND RECALL I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BILL STANFORD DODGE-CHRYSLER HERE IN TALLADEGA AL TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH THE RECALL. THEY ADMITTED THE PINION NUT WAS LOOSE AND THEY SAID THEY TIGHTENED IT AND THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES ON THE REAR AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT , THE TIRE DEALER SAID I DID NOT NEED NEW REAR TIRES THAT I SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL YEARS LEFT ON THEM BUT I TOLD HIM WHAT BILL STANFORD SAID SO HE PUT NEW TIRES ON THE BACK BUT THAT HAD NO AFFECT ON THE VIBRATING AND SHAKING OF THE TRUCK. NOW I RECEIVE ANOTHER RECALL STATING " THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE , GOING ON TO STATE THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING OR THE REAL AXLE TO SEIZE AND SEPARATE THE DRIVE SHAFT CAUSING A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. I HAVE A GOOD TRUCK EXCEPT FOR THE REAR END WHICH SHAKES AND VIBRATES AGGRESSIVELY BUT I CAN GET NO HELP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER HERE IN TALLADEGA AL. ALL I AM ASKING IS THAT THEY FIX IT TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE AND LIVE UP TO THE SAFETY RECALL. I CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT TO SUE OR SEEK PUNITIVE DAMAGES , I WOULD JUST LIKE MY TRUCK TO BE FIXED IN AN HONEST FASHION. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP . *TR
