NHTSA takata recall #'s 16V-325 and 15V-313... it had to have my drivers side airbag removed in may of 2015 and now my passenger side air back has to be replaced. In may of 2015 I was put on a list at my local Dodge dealer to have the parts once available to be installed. Its been over 2 years and they still do not have the parts available to install in my vehicle. They have also put me on the list for the list to have the passenger side airbag replaced. My issue is that I have to drive a vehicle that not only has an inoperable airbag, but also has one that can rupture. Its unsafe and what happens if I get into a collision with non functioning airbags! my safety is at risk as well as any passengers I carry. I did not purchase this vehicle to have non functioning or incorrectly functioning components due to manufacturer default. A remedy to this situation should be established in a timely manner before someone else is killed or seriously injured due to these defects. Please note Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208 (49 cfr 571.208.........this issue is of an immediate safety concern. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Takata recall all I want to do is swap out my airbags but not a single dealership near me is willing to work with me without charging thousands of dollars to "fix" a problem that's not even real. I have 4.88 gears in my truck so it trips the wheel speed sensors as soon as I drive. I'd swap the airbags out myself but nobody will sell them to me. It's been about 2 years without driving my truck anywhere waiting on airbags that nobody will even let me purchase. I've talked to landers Dodge in little rock, fletcher Dodge and superior Dodge in conway and none of them were willing to do anything without "fixing" a problem that doesn't exist with the wheel speed and transmission, it's the 4.88 gears. I would be glad to do the work myself but they refuse to sell airbags to me.

I have called countless times to hill kelly Dodge dealership here in pensacola and have been told they cannot take care of this dangerous and pressing recall issue. I am sincerely worried about my safety and require an explanation for being forced to drive with dangerously malfunctioning safety equipment for so long.
