NHTSA complaint: 2000 DODGE INTREPID — EQUIPMENT
ON JANUARY 15, 2004 I BROUGHT MY DODGE INTREPID VIN#2B3HD46RXH103584 TO DOHN BOHN DODGE IN METAIRIE, LA FOR REPLACE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE RECLINER SEAT BOLTS. THIS WAS BEING DONE PER A RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER ID NUMBER IS #03V035000. AN INVOICE WAS ISSUED STATING THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2004 THE SAME DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RECLINER BOLT SHEARED IN HALF AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HAD AN ACCIDENT. I AM UNDER DOCTORS CARE FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED. I REPORTED THIS INFORMATION TO DAHIMLER CHRYSLER ON 10/04/2005 AND THEY GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER #12695236. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAKESHORE DODGE AND THEY INFORMED SINCE I HAD THE RECALL ALREADY DONE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I DECLINED AND HAD THE BOLT REPLACED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND RETAINED THE BOLT.
