| Description of the problem | Takata airbag i called dealer to schedule recall and asked if they would have to remove the dash. He stated that they would but chrysler would not cover the dash if it broke in the process. I then called chrysler and they confirmed that they would not cover dash replacement. I do not see how it is my place to spend a thousand dollars to fix my dash if they destroy it to fix their airbags that are faulty when i bought the truck new for 32000 dollars i didn't ask for a faulty airbag or a cheaply made chinese plastic dashboard. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. |
