There has been a recall on the airbags for my truck. Took it to the dealer in covington,la. This is where I bought it from. The associate said they did not do recalls. What dealer should I take it to?
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 dodge ram 3500. The contact stated that the VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v770000 (air bags) however, the dealer refused to honor the recall because the dashboard was damaged. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
On the date noted above I noticed a 10 inch long crack had developed on the passenger side front dashboard slightly to the right of center. In a collision where the front airbags are deployed, this will become razor sharp shrapnel causing severe injury or death. Dodge refuses to do anything to mitigate this flaw, which they have acknowledged is due to dodge utilizing sub-standard materials when making the dashboards for the ram truck series. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints regarding the cracked dashes in ram trucks from frustrated owners. Its only a matter of time until someone is injured or killed when one of these dashes explodes like a grenade when the airbag goes off during a collision.
2003 dodge ram heavy duty truck began to get crackes in dashboard around yr 2009 2 large cracks are now in dashboard.
The dashboard on my 2003 dodge 3500 quad cab had developed cracks which has split the dash into pieces directly in front of the passenger seat and directly over the passenger side airbag. The cracks and broken dash pieces will not allow the passenger side airbag to deploy properly in the event of a crash and not only will the airbag harm the passenger, the broken pieces of dash will be dangerous as well. This vehicle has been properly maintained, and is in good condition. The dash cracked and broke as a result of normal driving; the vehicle has never been in an accident. The dealer said that the vehicle is out of warranty and will not pay to replace the dash. Not only will the airbag not deploy properly due to the cracked and broken dash and threaten the passenger, it could also deploy in a manner hazardous to the driver. This is a defect many 2003-2005 dodge 3500 truck owners have experienced and is widely discussed on internet forums. Dodge 3500 2003 model dashboards should be recalled and replaced by dealers because the defective dashes installed by dodge are a high safety hazard for passengers and drivers as well due to the fact that they will not allow the passenger side airbag to deploy properly in the event of an accident. While I must include an incident date below this problem occurred and expanded over the course of 2010.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle rear ended another vehicle while traveling 45 MPH and the airbags did not deploy. The driver hit the steering wheel causing a bloody lip. The non-service dealer expressed that the airbags should have deployed. There was a police report taken.
Air bag did not deploy in a collision. Another vehicle ran a stop sign, I t-boned the other vehicle with the front of my truck, yet air bag did not deploy.
