Takata inflator - this recall was issued on May 24th, 2016. I am not satisfied that a solution is not offered and new parts not installed. We use this vehicle daily and for my children to still be at risk of injury or even death appalls me that this is close to a year and no resolution. I am thankful we did not have an accident yet but this should not be just a complaint for after the fact. We need this resolved before someone is hurt or killed and at that point a it wont just be an informal complaint but a full fledged law suit.

Takata recall, this recall was issued on July 1 of 2016. As of today there is still no replacement parts for this recall according to safercar.gov. This is ridiculous. This is at least the second recall since I've owned this truck that I've had to wait more than 3 months for parts to fix a potentially life threatening incident. I understand that by letting the public know that there's a potential life threatening problem mopar is "covering their butt", but if they fail to get parts out in a timely manner I feel they should still be held liable if something happens. There's no excuse for not getting replacement parts out faster than they do.

Takata recall I was notified by safety recall notice S43/NHTSA 16V-352 and registered the vehicle on July 15, 2015 as instructed and haven't been contacted since to have vehicle repaired. Local Dodge dealers have no information on the recall and will not repair the vehicle. What type of scam is this? must I be killed or injured before something is done.
