TAKATA RECALL - WHEN THEY REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG THEY BROKE THE ELECTRICAL SUBSTRATE (IN THE AIRBAG COVER) THAT FUNCTIONS THE HORN. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ON MOST OF THESE AS THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. I HAVEN'T HAD A HORN SINCE MAY 2016 AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A WRECK AS A RESULT.

IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS NOW BUT AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. I WAS DRIVING MY PICK-UP IN TOWN WHEN I LOST MY GAUGE LIGHTS AND I NOTICED AT THE SAME TIME I LOST ALL MY MAKER LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND A BLOWN FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. RIGHT AWAY IT BLEW AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT ALSO BLEW THE CERCIT IN THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WICHATA LEFT ME NO CHOICE BUT TO BYPASS THE CURCIT AND GET POWER TO MY LIGHTS FORM ANOTHER SOURCE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE TIPM IS $850 THAT DON'T INCLUDE THE COST OF REPLACING IT AND THEN PROGRAMING IT TI THE VEHICLE. SO I DECIDED I WASN'T GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAD ALREADY FIXED BY BYPASSING THE PROBLEM. THEN A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 65 MPH AT NIGHT WHEN I LOST MY HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS UPON FURTHER DIAGNOSIS I FOUND IT TO BE THE TIPM AT FAULT AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD ME IT TOO WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. SO I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT BOTH ISSUES AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. SO I LET IT GO WITHOUT PRESSING THE ISSUE ANY FURTHER. AS TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. BUT AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM, THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND BITE THE BULLET AND FIX THE PROBLEMS. DUE TO THESE ISSUES BEING MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEMS. (I.E. LOSS OF WIPERS, LOSS OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNAL FLASHING THE WRONG WAY)

AFTER MONTHS OF RECALL NOTICES I FINALLY HAD SPARE TIME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT ON THIS RECALL. IT WAS OVER A MONTH WAIT TO GET IT DONE SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY RECALL FOR DODGE. I HAD TO SCHEDULE FOR 7AM SINCE I WORK FOR A LIVING AND NEED TRUCK FOR WORK. I TOOK OFF A FEW HOURS TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. SINCE I HAD TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLY TO BE ON TIME. SERVICE DEPT WAS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT BEING ON TIME TO GET IN AND OUT I ARRIVED 10 MINUTES EARLY. THE LADY AT THE DESK INFORMS ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX RECALL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE TIME AT WORK BECAUSE OF DODGE SCREW UP. I DEMAND A RENTAL TRUCK WHILE THIS SERVICE IS BEING DONE WHEN DODGE FINALLY GET THE PARTS IN.. SINCE DODGE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY..BULLSH*T.... IF YOU REALLY CARED THE PARTS WOULD OF BEEN THERE THIS WOULD OF BEEN HANDLE PROFESSIONALLY AND IT WOULD BE OVER. BUT HELL NO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL DODGE CALLS ME TO LET ME KNOW PARTS ARE IN AND WAIT A FREAKIN MONTH TO GET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT.. I AM PISSED... EXTREMELY....
