TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED DALLAS DODGE, MY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T REPLACED MY AIRBAG. I CONTACTED THEM IN JUNE 2016 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT AGAIN.THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF AIRBAGS. I HAVE THE OLDEST VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL AND LIVE IN TEXAS WHICH IS IN THE MOST LIKELY ZONE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND WHICH ZONE YOU LIVE IN, I WOULD HOPE THAT DALLAS DODGE WOULD WANT TO FIX THESE VEHICLES FIRST. PLEASE HELP, MY FAMILY NEEDS IT.

OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW YEARS THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND SMALL PIECES BREAKING OFF. RECENTLY THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATOR COIL WHICH IS UNDER THE DASH. WHEN THEY STARTED TO REMOVE THE DASH IT BROKE INTO SMALL PIECES. I WAS NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED A DASH COVER FROM AN ONLINE COMPANY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS SUPPORTED BY THIS DASH AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT OF EXTRA WORK TO KEEP THE AIRBAG IN POSITION. IT COST ME AN EXTRA $400.00. THE NHTSA IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN EXTENSIVE PROBLEM YET YOU REFUSE TO CONSIDER A RECALL BECAUSE YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A COSMETIC ISSUE. ARE YOU AWARE THAT AN AIRBAG IS SUSPENDED FROM THIS DASH AND IF THE DASH CRUMBLES SO DOES THE AIRBAG AND VERY POSSIBLY WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECENTLY SUBMITTED COMPLAINT ABOUT MY DASHBOARD AND I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY HAVE A RECALL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS. COULD YOU PLEASE INFORM ME AS TO WHAT STEPS I NEED TO TAKE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
