BACK IN JAN . , I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2003 RAM1500 ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG . I THINK IT WAS NOTICE P40 . I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO MY DEALER , SOUTHERN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO ORDER THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE . I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CHECKING ON THE ISSUE AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A PARTS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER CAN'T GET THE PARTS . IT IS NOW MAY 5TH AND STILL NO FIX . I THINK THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND MAYBE CHRYSLER , THINK THAT I WILL JUST FORGET ABOUT THE ISSUE . I PROMISE THAT I WILL NOT FORGET . IN MARCH , I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I THINK THAT RECALL NOTICE IS P78 . I AM NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER . I THINK 4 MONTHS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THE NECESSARY PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM . IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND STALL . GOD FORBID THAT EITHER AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE ME INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH . I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER TODAY WITH THE SAME INFORMATION THAT I AM SENDING YOU . I DO NOT LIKE RIDING AROUND IN A TRUCK THAT MAY HAVE THE AIRBAGS EXPLODE AND CAUSE ME INJURY OR DEATH . I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR ATTENTION IN HOPES THAT , WITH YOUR HELP , THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED .

2 LARGE CRACKS IN DASH, IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER SIDE, I HAVE BIG CONCERN THAT IN AN ACCIDENT WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DASH DISINTEGRATION WILL OCCUR, RESULTING IN INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. VARIOUS REPORTS ONLINE WHERE DODGE IS NOT WARRANTING DASHBOARDS AND DEALERS ARE NOT DOING AIRBAG RECALL WORK BECAUSE DASHBOARDS ARE FALLING APART DURING WORK. *TR

AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY OF 2015 I RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" LETTER WITH A P78 NOTIFICATION CODE. I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED EACH TIME THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUE. SO I DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE TRUCK??? CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR ARRIVAL OF PARTS REQUIRED TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE!! OTHER ISSUE IS THAT SAME VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD SPLINTERED AND FELL APART, FORCING ME TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I SENT CHRYSLER A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD (DID NOT CHARGE FOR LABOR, JUST DASHBOARD), IN THE AMOUNT OF $295.68 -- AND THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT!!! IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THESE DASHBOARDS FALL APART -- YET THEY REFUSE TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY, SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. A DASHBOARD THAT SPLINTERS AND CRACKS, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE DASHBOARD FALLS APART BECAUSE OF "ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES" (I.E. HUMIDITY, AIR). JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW POORLY MADE THESE DASHBOARDS ARE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY P/U NEW 2003. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING - P78. TODAY I CALLED MY DEALER, MID COUNTY CHRYSLER IN PORT ARTHUR, TX , TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AS INSTRUCTED ON THE NOTICE. THEY REFUSED TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT AND REPORTED " THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE". I ASKED TO ADDED TO A CALL LIST TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ONCE THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THEY REFUSED SAYING " WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACTUATE A LIST, YOU HAVE TO CALL BACK TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. BY NOT HAVING A CALL LIST TO PUT MY NAME ON, THE DEALER IS MAKING IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED. IN THE PAST HAD A RECALL ON A FORD VEHICLE WHICH ENDED UP NEVER BEING REPAIRED BECAUSE, THAT DEALER KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART OR DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I DID CALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH THAT ONE. IT DID NO GOO..... NOW IT IS SEEMLY STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN ! I THINK THEY NEED TO HAVE A CALL BACK LIST FOR WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND GET THIS ISSUED FIXED... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ! I THINK THIS IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY, I DIDN'T BUILD THE 2003 PICK UP OR SELL IT ! NOW IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING OUT ON WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM... JUST LIKE THE FORD DEALER DID! ONLY THIS TIME I AM NOT WILING TO KEEP CALLING LIKE THE LAST TIME ! IF THEY HAVE BEEN SUED TO MAKE THIS A RECALL ISSUE OR SOMEONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF IT, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE ! THEY SHOULD BE TAKING A BIT MORE OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM ! THANK YOU, [XXX] OWNER OF 2003 DODGE P/U INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
