Takata recall- my car has been recalled approximately 3 times for air bag while there are no current recalls, my airbag light came on and it is currently in the shop. I should not have to share all of the financial responsibility, since this is a factory problem.

Airbag and seatbel lights stays on on right side..paid over $600 to Chrysler in collierville. Now they are saying it's something else. Spent all that money for nothing. Don't understand why it wasn't repaired correctly. They put it on the machine to find the issue. Very disappointed. I believe this was an issue with the recalls

Takata recall: I am amazed that a recall that can cause injury or death is treated so very lightly. It greatly upsets me that I could be in an accident and die but not from the accident. I am a 30 year retired aviation maintenance officer, we didn't fly our aircraft if known safety defect could cost death of our Pilot are aircrew. I remain greatly disappointed and angry over this issue. How many more lives must be lost of consumers injured before this issue is resolved? my life matters!!

Takata recall. Expecting me to drive a vehicle where if I do happen to get in a crash, when the air bags deploy, instead of saving my passengers life as it should, the airbag can disperse metal fragments killing passengers in my car. You should be recalling entire vehicles based on this danger and replacing vehicles.

Takata recall Chrysler sent a notice to me with instructions to go to the web site "recalls.mopar.com" to sign up for notification when repair parts would be available. I tried to do this but the specified web site will not accommodate a sign up. Please instruct Chrysler to facilitate this process so the car can be repaired as soon as possible.
