I received the safety recall notices from fca in November 2015 and May 2016. To replace the airbags. Absolutely nothing has been done by fca (Fiat Chrysler automobiles)or metro atlanta Chrysler dealers to remedy the problem. They say parts are not available and can offer no timelime for replacement.. I have called fca twice about this. At this point, what are my legal options for replacement of the defective airbags in my vehicle?

I received the notice that my car needed to be taken to the dealer and the orc repaired. Our local Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership said they could not get the part. I called the 800 number for vehicle safety hotline and had to leave a message. No one has called me back in over 10 days. What am I supposed to do to get this fixed?

My son was involved in an unexplained car accident on 9/26/15 in our 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The crash resulted in extensive physical and fire damage to the vehicle and the loss of my son's life. It was a beautiful sunny day and the cause remains unknown. Shortly after I received notice that his vehicle was involved in recall R60 for unintended air bag deployment which could result in a crash. My son was a new driver and anything could have happened. I have contacted Chrysler who informs me since the vehicle was totalled and disposed of prior to the recall they can not help me and I must contact the subrogation department to try to get my insurance company's money back. This is not my concern though I have notified my insurance company. I'm angry that this may be the reason my son is no longer with me and all I get is a so sorry, the car is gone, we can't help you. Well so is my son...updated 12/11/17
