| Description of the problem | "takata recall" on august 3, 2017 in response to a recall notice from car pros renton chrysler jeep dodge ram to have the passenger air bag replaced i took my truck to their shop. Within minutes of leaving the dealership after the air bag was allegedly installed properly the air bag light came on and i called the dealership and they instructed me to bring it back. I rescheduled the return for august 11, 2017. I returned the truck at &:30 am august 11, 2017. I eas told i would need to pay $140 for a diagnosis to determine why their installation failed. A number of hours later they called and said they had determined the problem. When i returned to the dealership they presented me with 11aug17 and informed me it would cost another $289. 95 to replace a switch in the newly installed, recalled air bag. I thought the purpose of the recall was to protect passengers from injuty or death from defective products made by takata and installed by chrysler and i believe my passengers are still at equal risk as they were before the recall. On the 11aug17 ivoice was a list of 9 items that allegedly needed prompt attention. None of these appeared weeks before on 16aug17 and most had already been addressed by others |
