Received safety recall notices by mail for rear axle pinion nut (p77 / nhtsa 14v-796) and driver airbag inflator (r25 / nhtsa 15v-313.) i contacted a local dealer in july / august of 2015 to schedule repairs. a week later the dealer called back to postpone the repairs because parts were not available. the dealer stated that they would call back to reschedule the repairs when the parts were available. i have not heard back from the dealer. the repairs have still not been made. the dealer has failed to remedy these defects in a reasonable amount of time.

I have been calling ed voyles ram in marietta ga for over 5 months regarding 2 recalls (rear axle pinion nut p77 / nhtsa 14v-796 & driver airbag inflator r25 / nhtsa 15v-313) every time i call its always the same response, "no parts", and no idea when parts will arrive. how long should this take?

I have made contact with local car dealer laredo dodge located at 6320 bob bullock loop, laredo, texas. 78041. phone 956-267-8830, to fix the two recalls on my dodge ram slt 1500 2005 truck and after they making the appointments, they continue to claim there are no parts to fix these two open recalls and that they will let me know in the future. that's the same thing they told me two weeks ago. they even called me to let me know not to forget and bring my truck for the two open recalls and when i get there...there are no parts available.

We keep geeting the run around about the part non-availability and no end in sight for the waiting. i am afraid to drive the truck as the air-bag may explode in my face. can't we get this completed soon? its distracting, while i drive, to be constantly worried about having it blow up!!

I got a recall over a year ago about the airbag inflator and (2) other items to be repaired,which i promptly took in and had repaired,only to find out a year later that the airbag inflator was never repaired. nothing was said to me that the part was not available.just received another notice and must wait for parts again,what is going on? doesn't dodge give a [xxx] about our safety? is it time to get a lawyer and sue dodge and nhtsa, for not doing their job. why have an organization that doesn't do their job? what are you going to do about this? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I received two recall notices for fixes on my 2005 doge ram. i have had this vehicle for one year. the recall notices are for defective airbag inflator housing and a rear axle pinion nut. in the rec all notice i was informed there is no permanent fix for either of these problems. both defects could cause injury or death. i want chrysler to take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimburse me for the $12,000 i paid for it a year ago. because of these dangerous situation i will not drive this vehicle and cannot afford to buy another. i feel chrysler should take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimbursed me for what i paid for it so i can purchase a vehicle that is safe to drive!

Takata recall i went to tom o'brian chrysler dealership back in july 2015, about this recall, and i have followed up 3 times to find out when i can bring my truck in to do both recalls on this. they ordered the parts for both recalls and they told me that their oly can do 2 trucks a month because the way their recall works they bring a truck in , do the recall work and then they send the part back and wait for the next replacement part to come in. if this is the real case, it will be several years before i can get my truck worked on. so if this is a safety recall they should be doing a lot more trucks they 2 a month. i want to keep my truck but i am very concerned about a accident . i think if i have to wait longer, chrysler should provided me with a vehicle til my truck gets fixed.

Receiving notifications from fiat chrysler automobiles about recalls r25 and p77. i originally brought the vehicle in to the dealership approx 3-4 months ago, ramsey, nj, chrysler jeep dodge. they stated they did not have parts. i called fca and they stated parts should be available in june. called the same dealership on wed july 8th, they asked for recall notice info. amazingly the vin was not enough. amazingly they had no record of me being their previously for the recall and they said they are checking on the availability of parts. note they have now changed the original recall id on p81/nhtsa 14v-817 to r25 / nhtsa 15v-313 on the air bag one. since both of these are potentially life threatening i need to get this resolved.
