R06/ NHTSA 15V-046 whitten brothers dealership in ashland Virginia has been contacted about this recall since 04/10/2015. I have been told the part is "back ordered", or that Chrysler has no availability of the part, or "we'll call you" when the part comes in. Who is going to be responsible when the air bag prematurely deploys, and I and my grandchildren are injured, or even worse, killed. Please direct me to my next step. I feel unsafe driving my vehicle.

This is takata recall. From last year, my car's airbag light is on sometimes when the weather is hot. On February 24, 2016, my car went to the dealer for repair of the airbag light by the recall, which is free repair, but after the repair, the airbag light is always on. The dealer said that I have to pay $199 to fix the problem. I think they did something wrong because the airbag light is always on now. I called 1-800-853-1403 but they cannot solve the problem.
