I TOOK MY CAR IN TO KENDALL DODGE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON PART # R25/NHTSA 15V-313 (WHICH IS PART OF MY AIRBAG) TO BE REPLACED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE IS "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR TAB PART # 107300 THAT IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT IF MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THE AIRBAG (GLUED ALL THE BACK TOGETHER) IN ORDER TO HIDE DAMAGE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED INSPECTION PRIOR TO SALE?

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER, 2014 ADVISING OF RECALL ON AIRBAGS DUE TO FAILURE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY. HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS TO GET VEHICLE INTO BE REPAIRED ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED PARTS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER RECALL TODAY (04/15/15) AND NO ESTIMATED DATE FOR PARTS AVAILABLE. IN SHORT, MANUFACTURER HAS IDENTIFIED A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS AND HAS LACKED DILIGENCE IN MAKING PARTS AVAILABLE. *TR
