Ram 1500

  • miles
I have received as of today 3 recall notices on my vehicle concerning seat belts. I visited my dealership after receiving the first notice and was told they would contact me when the parts came in, I didn't record that date, I assume it was in May. Received the second notice in June and went to the dealership 6/25/2015 and was told they would contact me in July and correct both recalls at the same time. Received third notice today and still haven't heard from my dealership. Looks like Chrysler is better at sending recall notices than actually correcting problems"???? what would you say"
