| Description of the problem | 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 . [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
