What owners report
BRAKE BOOSTER WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, THERE IS A LOUD CLICK AT THE BRAKE PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY AN AIR PUMP SKINS AT THE FIREWALL WHEN CAR COMES TO A STOP. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE USE IS DEFINITELY REDUCED.
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. BEFORE THEY STARTED TO DO THE WORK THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS AN OLDER MODEL. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SAFETY REASONS AND THEY COULD DAMAGE MY CAR IN THE PROCESS! HOW UNFAIR ON THE PART OF THE CONSUMER TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE WHEN THEY ARE TAKING THEIR CAR IN FOR SAFETY REASONS! AND DODGE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR OWN PRODUCT AT THE SAME TIME! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA!

TAKATA RECALL, TAKING MUCH TOO LONG TO FIX OR GET PARTS. NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY, I QUESTION WHETHER I'LL EVER SEE MY RECALL COMPLETED. I WANT OUT OF THIS POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP BUT CAN'T TRADE OR SELL UNTIL RECALL IS COMPLETE, I'M LOOSING MONEY EVERY DAY I HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING IT. HELP, I WANT SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION. WHO DO I NEED TO TALK TO TO GET SOME ACTION ON THIS MATTER?
