Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL" ON MY TRUCK, THE TAILGATE WILL RANDOMLY OPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MY LAWN MOWER FLY OUT INTO THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND I SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE EMAILED RAM AND MOPAR WITH NO RESPONSE. THEY WANT $350 TO FIX THIS AT THE DEALERSHIP. MY TRUCK IS A 2017 I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ISSUE. ANYTHING YOU COULD DO TO HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
