YESTERDAY EVENING, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CAME ON. ALTHOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR MY VEHICLE STATES THAT AN AIRBAG LIGHT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IMMEDIATELY, THIS MORNING I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SERVICE APPOINTMENT DESPITE MY HAVING CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE WORKING. HOWEVER, NEITHER DEALERSHIP WOULD GIVE ME A A SERVICE APPOINTMENT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. WHEN I CALLED FIAT CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH ITS AIRBAGS. IT WAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE WITH WHOM I SPOKE THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE WORKING. IN SPITE OF THIS, AND IN SPITE OF THE RECALL, FIAT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT IS UNABLE TO GET ME A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TODAY TO HAVE THE RECALL AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUES ADDRESSED. FURTHERMORE, I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL, I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED IF IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH I ASKED TO BE GIVEN A RENTAL CAR TODAY TO DRIVE UNTIL MY VEHICLE CAN BE SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP, FIAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE ME TO RECEIVE A RENTAL CAR FREE OF CHARGE, AND INSTEAD TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RENT A CAR USING MY OWN MONEY AND SEEK REIMBURSEMENT. FIAT CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT MY COMPLAINT HAS BEEN "ESCALATED" AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVED A RETURN CALL FROM FIAT CHRYSLER "AS SOON AS POSSIBLE," DESPITE WHICH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RETURN PHONE CALL. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LUCAS DODGE IN MT. HOLLY, NEW JERSEY, BUT FOR TODAY I AM BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE EITHER DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS OR NO WORKING AIRBAGS AT ALL.
