I have two open recalls on my vehicle, one for airbag that can rupturing and causing an accident or death and another for drive train pinion nut problem. I have received recall notices and no parts are available to fix my truck. I can't afford another vehicle right now so this truck is my daily driver and as I await from my dealer to call and set up an appointment to fix (when parts are available) I have to drive this possible death trap. Other trucks are being bought back, but not mine; I want this resolved now. I value my life and this wait is ridiculous. Help!!!
