35 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2014

I contacted teterboro Chrysler Jeep Dodge, in late June 2014 to make an appointment for a safety recall defect. I had received a notice sometime in June of 2014. I contacted the service department by telephone, it took three calls to try to reach the service manager. On the third phone call I was told not to bring the car in for this free repair. I was told in the second phone call that the service manager was in a meeting. After going to another Chrysler dealer the service manager from teterboro Chrysler called and offered to fix the defect. He said he heard from NHTSA. I feel that teterboro Chrysler had a bad attitude and they only changed their mind after I brought a letter to the district office of congressman scott garrett.
