Failure Date: 10/01/2015

Takata inflators: we took vehicle to dealer for recall repairs but dealer said we would have to purchase a new dash for about $1,400 to replace the existing cracked dash before they could do the airbag recall work. We cannot afford to spend that much money on a new dashboard so recall work has not been done, therefore, the truck is not safe. We have been told that because of the vehicle's age, no safe replacement dashboards exist. What can we do?.

Takata inflatores. I have been trying to schedule an appointment at gulf coast Chrysler Jeep to have recall p78 and r25 p81 taken care of for more than a year. I have even called 1-877-223-7634 twice and still nothing. The lady who handles the service department told me last year that my name was on page 4 of her file. When I called the above number, that rep called her. Again they stated they only had one of the items I needed. However, about a month ago a friend of mine here drove up there on a Monday and he was told to bring his identical truck in the next day and his items were fixed!! I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of being told that they don't have all the parts needed. I was even told that the service department could not order any further inventory until they exhausted what was on hand. I would like to arrange to get these items fixed and soon. If not, then I will start going to the attorney generals office, the bbb and my lawyer. I received another notice in the mail today. How long is considered "within a reasonable time?".
