NHTSA Complaint #10405645 — 2008 BRAUN TOWN & COUNTRY

WAS TOLD TO WAIT 1 MONTH FOR CRITICAL SAFETY RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FROM RECALL LETTER: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND DODGE GRAND CARAVAN VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A WATER LEAK AT THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONER "HVAC" DRAIN GROMMET WHICH CAN LEAD TO ILLUMINATION OF AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND A POTENTIAL INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I WAS TOLD AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT A MONTH TO GET THIS DONE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DO HEAR HISSING UNDER THE DASH AND HAVE LOSS A/C COOLANT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING. I FELT AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO GET THESE PARTS FASTER IN ORDER TO AVOID AN AVOIDABLE INCIDENT THAT MAY UNNECESSARY LOSS OF LIFE. NOT ONLY FOR MY FAMILY BUT OTHERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER I SPOKE TO THIS MORNING. I SUBMIT THIS STATING THAT I TRIED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
