TAKATA RECALL - I AM UNABLE TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED. I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, AND AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT THE DEALER IS NOT BEING PROVIDED WITH AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF UNITS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS. I AM UNDERSTANDABLY WORRIED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THIS WILL CAUSE INJURY TO ME. I HAVE NOW RECEIVED AT LEAST 6 RECALL LETTERS, BUT STILL CANNOT GET THE RECALL COMPLETED.

FAULTY TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN CHANGE FROM 2WD TO 4WD AT ANYTIME. A SITUATION LIKE THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, TRYING TO TAKE A TURN WHILE THE DRIVER EXPECTS TO BE IN 2WD BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN 4WD WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TAKE WIDER TURNS THAN NORMAL. THIS MAY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE ENTERING INTO THE PATH OF ENTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION.
