| Description of the problem | Takata recall i received my first recall notice in february 2015 and received three notices before i could get an appointment with air bag inflator in stock. I drove about 80 miles to the dealer only to be told they no longer had them in stock and they had written my phone number wrong so that was a wasted trip. Then i finally got another appointment and after being at the dealer about 30 minutes and was told they did not have the inflator for my truck and none had been released yet that fit my truck. That was another 160 mile round trip wasted. This has been over a year of waiting to have my vehicle repaired. When are the inflators for a 2003 dodge ram 1500 going to be available? |
