| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I was notified in august of a potentially life threatening issue where my driver air bag inflator could explode. The notice said replacement parts were not available at that time, i would be contacted when available. I have not received any further notice. I called the number chrysler listed on the notice in approximately october. I was told they still did not have the parts. I gave them the name of the dealer i would like to do the work, they said i would be added to their list and would be contacted. I have yet to be contacted. The length of time and lax attitude chrysler has to fix this life threatening matter is absurd. Per quarterly report 15v-313, less than 24% of the vehicles of the total recall population have been resolved in 9 months time after the manufacture has know and been acting on this problem. This is frankly unacceptable. I feel the government needs to step in, make sure the remaining 3 million consumers get their vehicles repaired and impose heavy fines and sanctions on chrysler for their neglectful response to resolve this problem. |
