We received an air bag recall from you over a year ago (below date is a guess on when service was performed) regarding a recall on the air bags. We had a dodge/jeep dealer in indianola iowa check for recall. That week after we had vehicle back from this dealer, our air bag light came on. I called the dealer and they told me that it was nothing they did, was very rude to us and said they couldn't fix it unless we paid for repairs. The air bag light was not on before we took vehicle to dealer, but after they did whatever to vehicle this is when the light came on. Within this last year I have contacted this dealer and talked with the service manager which he was very rude and I have left messages with the dealer for another manager or owner of the business to call me, and I still continue to wait for a response from them. Is there anything I can do or you to have this recall checked to make sure repairs were done?, and done correctly?, as with the light on after repairs were made, makes me concerned for the safety of everyone.
