NHTSA Complaint #11688411 — 2016 RAM 2500

The grab handle or left interior a arm part broke and fell of in my lap while I was driving luckily it did not fall off when I entered the vehicle or I would have been flat on my back. I contacted Stelantis got the typical run around. Tried to order new part but part has been discontinued. Now I am driving with airbag not covered and exposed. The part number for my truck is 5RM911XAC you can check discontinued. I ask Stelantis to find part after I tried for months to no avail. Reply was sorry part discontinued. What broke was the plastic that holds two screws in. Hopefully no one gets hurt if others break. In my opinion it seems like a bad design to save money. The replacement part by the way is $313.00 for plastic with leather wrapped handle. I was willing to spend that but the attitude I got from Stelantis was very non caring after I spent $60,000 on a truck in 2016. I ordered this part in May of 2025 then in August they told me it was discontinued.
