I took my truck to eastgate Chrysler at 500 North shadeland ave. 46219 ph.# 317-352-7192 to have my airbag recall repaired and a wheel alignment, there wasn't anything wrong with my truck when I took it into them, on my way home I notice that the airbag light was flickering when I turned corner sometimes and 2 days later it stayed on and the cruise control quite working and the horn wouldn't blow and and that area where you blow the horn was very hard, I made and appointment to take it in to see what the problem was and they told me I must have done something to damage it because it was fine when I left and the clock-spring was bad and the repair would cost $480, I told them, I'm not paying for there mistake, service manger refused to fix it so I called Dodge customer service about 5-time and they couldn't get them to fixit either.

I took my 2010 Dodge Dakota to my local dealership (South hills Dodge) on June 5th 2017 after receiving multiple recall notices about the R25 passenger airbag inflator. They told me they would have to order the part and I will have to wait until it arrives. I went there again a month later and it still never arrived. On Oct 25th 2017 I went there a third time and they told me that it's on order and I have to wait until the part arrives at their dealership. I have now waited over 20 weeks now for this part to arrive. It's a recall and a safety hazard but no one can obtain the part to fix the problem.
