Takata recall we have only recently purchased this vehicle, and noticed the air bag light was on. So by looking at the NHTSA website, the info was there that stated there was a recall, but the replacement parts weren't available, as a new owner of this vehicle, how can I be assured to know that I will be contacted when the parts are available"?also what can I do to keep my family safe until the repair is complete?"

Takata recall and another issue of power loss----- I have taken my truch to the dealership to have the takata air bags replaces and they told me that they do not have the parts to replace them. Power loss: I can be driving and the vehicle goes into a drastic and immediate power reduction. I have nearly bee rear-ended several times and the vehicle jerks suddenly throwing everything forward as though it is nearly a sudden stop. It will not drive over 20 mph when this happens. It will not reset until I pull over, remove, and reassemble, the battery cables. This happens during, and following, every rainy day. It also happens for no specified reason. It happened 3 times in the last 24 hours--no rain at all.
