I have repeatedly attempted to repair my Dodge Dakota's recall. Initially I contacted huntington beach Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and was told that my name would be placed on a list and I would be contacted. Nothing! I then contacted courtesy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of orange county. Finally had the first recall repaired, but not the March 2016 air bag recall. I have called and contacted the second dealer since March 2016 to repair the air bags and have been told every time that the dealer has no parts, but that they will call me. It has now been one year...and I have never been called....by either dealer. Help!!

Takata recall I called the dealer for the recall they say no parts and if im concerned to park the vehicle and not use it. However they don't offer a rental vehicle. I also called Chrysler and say thing they don't want to provide rental when I purchased this vehicle it was with the understanding that it was complete all the safety features where in working order know we discover that's not the case. Manufacture should repair and provide a rental until that happens.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Dakota. The contact received notification of an air bag recall and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The interim notice did not give a specific date for when the part would become available so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The NHTSA campaign number was unknown. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Updated 04/05/17

Takata airbags. Needs urgent resolution. Our vehicle is exposed to summer heat to 110 degrees outside air temps (interior vehicle temps 140 + degrees) and winter lows to 15 degrees plus truck is 10 years old. Currently, also, exposed to high humidity with heavy winter rain in past two months. Have contacted local dealer's repair facility without resolution; their excuse is no parts. When is this going to get resolved? note: Poor performaance "adequacy of existing safety recalls".

Takata reccall. No remedy since mid 2016. It is now the end of 2016. If something happens with this air bag which is supposed to save lives and it causes damages instead there will be major litigation to follow... we need to be safe in these situations, not killed or maimed.

Seem that 6 month is long enough to come up with a fix. Still no solution?

Takata recall: Received notice S43 / NHTSA 16V-352 on July 18, 2016. It has been 3 months and parts are still not available for repair. This imposes a significant risk to any front seat passenger that an inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. I am especially concerned that since I live in an area with high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time that the at risk condition is more likely to occur. What can the dot do to see that these parts are expedited for those of us living on the Texas gulf coast?
