| Description of the problem | I received a recall notice informing me that the air bag inflator could injure me if deployed. I called dealer and was informed that i will have to wait 1 month to have it inspected. I asked to have it disabled until it can be replaced and was told that the earliest time to have it looked at is august 31. In the meantime i'm expected to drive my vehicle with a possible hand grenade in the steering wheel. I feel that dodge and their dealers are not resolving this safety issue in a timely manner. If the airbag is unsafe, then it should be disabled immediately. |
