Air ban light is

- Ocala, FL, USA

"takata recall" my vehicle has been recalled twice over this issue, each time the repair has been completed. The current problem with my vehicle relates to the air bag module. My air bag warning light came on about a month ago at which time I took it to my local Dodge dealership thinking the airbags had gone bad again. I was advised the airbags were fine but the control module had failed. Then I was told that Chrysler Dodge no longer makes the replacement module and they would have to seek one from a salvage company they do business with. My question is simple, how can a manufacture decide to stop making a crucial component to the air bag system. I was advised that in the event of a crash the air bags would not inflate. It has been over a month now and the dealership still hasn't located a module but are continuing to search for one. I have a low milage 2003 Ram 3500 heavy duty truck sitting in my driveway that is totally worthless. What can I do?

The dash is completely fractured and broken into shards of sharp hard plastic that should the takata airbag ever deploy will be propelled like shrapnel through the passenger compartment at explosive speeds. It's like driving a car with broken class covering the dashboard. This issue, the dash fracturing and splitting into pieces as a result of sun exposure and age seems to be a known problem on almost all of the online forums I went to to discover if this was unique to me. I cannot understand how such an obvious and common hazard experienced by so many, is allowed to persist.
