TAKATA RECALL COMPLAINT RECALL NUMBER R26 / NHTSA 15V-312 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALLED PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS THAT DODGE WILL REPLACE ANY PARTS THAT ARE BROKEN FREE OF CHARGE DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATORS. WELL THAT WAS A LIE, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THIS SAME 2003 RAM 2500 MODEL HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT CRACKING AND LITERALLY BREAKING APART DUE IT BECOMING BRITTLE. MINE HAS 5 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT IS BLOWING BROKEN PIECES OUT THE VENTS INTO MY FACE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARDS. WELL THEN THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL CRACK AND BREAK INTO PIECES DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY TAKATA INFLATOR AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS THAT WILL BREAK APART DURING THE REPLACEMENT SO I DECLINED THE REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS ALREADY THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS THAT WOULD BREAK DURING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATOR. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. SO NOW EVERY TIME MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER GETTING INJURED WORSE IN AN ACCIDENT DUE THE FAULTY INFLATOR. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THAT DODGE INSTALLED CHEAP PLASTIC DASHBOARDS AND NOW I HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR THAT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITH OUT COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYTHING SINCE THEY USED FAULTY PARTS AND THE RECALL REPAIRS SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING TO GET IT FIXED NO MATTER HOW MANY PARTS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE ATTACHED IS THE REPAIR TICKET I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
