Air bags, Jun 29, 2015, fire
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO KENDALL DODGE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON PART # R25/NHTSA 15V-313 (WHICH IS PART OF MY AIRBAG) TO BE REPLACED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE IS "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR TAB PART # 107300 THAT IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT IF MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THE AIRBAG (GLUED ALL THE BACK TOGETHER) IN ORDER TO HIDE DAMAGE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED INSPECTION PRIOR TO SALE?

Air bags, Dec 18, 2014
THANK YOU FOR ASKING CHRYSLER TO RECALL ALL AFFECTED AIRBAG VEHICLES NATIONWIDE. I HAVE SENT CHRYSLER SEVERAL EMAILS EXPLAINING THAT I SPEND MUCH TIME IN FLORIDA, THAT THE HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THUS FAR HAS RUSTED OUT MY ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED LAST YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT MY DURANGO SHOULD RECEIVE AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS. CHRYSLER HAS CONTINUALLY DODGED THIS REQUEST AND HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE, AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS IN ADDITION TO NEVER PURCHASING A CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT AGAIN. I WILL REACH OUT TO MY NORTH CAROLINA REPS AND SENATORS AS WELL, BUT YOUR REQUEST TO CHRYSLER FOR A NATIONAL RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. I READ OF A RECENT EXAMPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE AN AFFECTED VEHICLE INJURED THE DRIVER/OCCUPANT WHEN DEPLOYED. MY WIFE DRIVES THE KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE, WILL CHRYSLER BE LIABLE IF MORE PEOPLE GET HURT AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM?? *TR
