| Description of the problem | I received a safety recall notice from dodge concerning the rear axle pinion nut and passenger air bag. I called the dodge dealer ([xxx]) in omaha, ne. I was informed the necessary repair parts are not available. They have no idea when or if these parts will be available. They tell me that a crash could occur and it is my decision whether to park the car or continue driving. This is not fair. I need a vehicle and cannot afford a new one. My truck is old but only has 46,000 miles on it. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
