| Description of the problem | "takata recall" i am contacting you regarding the issue of the airbags being dangerous in my 2005 dodge ram pickup. I have recently been notified that the drivers side airbag is available ( which i will get replaced) but there is " no remedy" for the passenger side airbag. I have also been told by my local dealer that it is not a "dodge issue" regarding a replacement vehicle until a "remedy" can be found! This is where i disagree! If i am correct, dodge bought the item from takata to place in their vehicles. If the part has a recall placed on it then is a "dodge problem"? And shouldn't the manufacturer be responsible for furnishing a replacement vehicle until the unsafe part has been replaced? This vehicle is my everyday driver /commuter to and from work and transporting my family to sports functions and anything in between! I find it unexceptable that dodge has not taken ownership in helping people in my situation since the main problem is the fact that a vehicle they sell doesn't have a remedy fix for the indefinite future ( per the dealer)! Dodge needs to do one of two things, either furnish a replacement vehicle or replace my vehicle entirely with an acceptable replacement. |
