“From about november 2010 until I delivered the truck to thornton road chrysler Dodge to install recall p40, the airbag off and seat belt warnings, with or without a passenger, chimed and the warning lights lit up. Thornton road chrysler installed recall p40 and recalibrated front seat sensors. After I left the dealer, before I was 100 yards from the parking lot, the warning chime and lights came on and they have not gone out since. I am too angry to call the dealer.”
