This is a follow up email for one that I sent back in may of 2015. My Dodge Ram still has not had the air bags recall fix done on it. It now has been another 3 months since I was told that greenbrier Dodge in chesapeake, va. Would be doing the repair. I have called them twice to check on my status. Each time I am told the same thing ; the parts have not come in yet. I feel that fca is stalling on this matter. I sent a follow up email to Chrysler today also. I just wanted to let you know that this issue is now past the ridiculous stage. Nothing should take this long to get resolved. Any pressure you could put on fca would be appreciated. I know that they have been fined $105 million dollars for not doing the recall repairs in a timely manner. Maybe, a larger fine would get their attention. Thank you for listening to my rant. I just want my truck fixed before something really bad happens. Thanks again.
