I just spoke with fca regarding the status of the recall for the passenger air bag. I was notified several months ago about the problem with the potential danger. The air bag has been disabled exposing my passengers to added risk. I was told today that there is no date yet for the air bag replacement.. I am very frustrated and disappointed with response by all parties on this matter. When will this be remedied?
