  • 34,000 miles
I spoke to micki at newnan peachtree Dodge on 2/23/15 and 5/14/15 pertaining to recall P78/NHTSA 14V-770 air bag notice. My first contact on 2/23, I was told Chrysler has not released the parts. My second contact on 5/14, I was told the parts were shipped and the harness for the device was too short. I was told to continue to follow up with them on parts status. They have made no progress in three months and I'm following the protocol set out in the advisory. I cannot allow my son to drive this vehicle with this issue. I'm glad to see that this is up for a public hearing.
