| Description of the problem | Takata recall my husband and i are expecting our first child in one month and were trying to trade in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 for an suv that would accommodate our family and because of this incomplete recall, no dealership wants to buy our current vehicle. On top of that, the manufacturer does not currently have or can provide the materials needed to fix our truck and clear the recall. We are stuck with this truck because of a faulty airbag inflator that could potentially cause harm to us and our future child. We are having to hold onto this 2005 vehicle that poses a danger to our family because of a manufacturer that will not get their stuff together and act quick enough on the repair. No one can fix the recall right now and have no information on when the parts will be available for the repair so we could be stuck with this truck for many more years to come. Something needs to be done about this so that dodge will quit dragging their feet and take this safety issue seriously. |
