2006 DODGE DAKOTA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. THE ONLY SERVICE COMPANY TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ON THE ISLAND OF MAUI IS JIM FALK CHRYLSER DODGE JEEP RAM, AT 221 PUUNENE AVE, KAHULUI, HI 96732 ON MAUI (808 280-1774). IT TOOK OVER A YEAR AND A LOT OF COMPLAINING UNTIL THE MANAGER, AARON SERRAO, SAW TO IT THAT MY DRIVER AIRBAGS WERE FIXED LAST YEAR. NOW WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ON THE RECALL LIST, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVE. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN HAVE THE REPAIR PARTS SENT TO JIM FALK AUTO FOR MY REPAIR? WHEN I TALK TO THEM, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL COME IN AND THAT I SHOULD JUST CONTINUE TO CALL EVERY FEW MONTHS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY TOLD ME IN 2014 WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG CORRECTED. NOW I NEED THE PASSENGER SIDE CORRECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T NOT WANT TO FURTHER JEOPARDIZE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. ALSO, I HAD SIDE AIRBAGS INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASE, WILL THESE NEED REPAIR, TOO?

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE MY DASH LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE RECALL SHOULD COVER 2006 MODELS. WHEN WE RUN THE VIN NUMBER IT DOES NOT SHOW FOR MY VEHICLE BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALL OTHER 2006 DODGE DURANGO BECAUSE IT IS A FIRE RISK. CAN YOU PLEASE SEE IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT MY VEHICLE JUST GOT MISSED.
