I do not believe a safety recall is being handled in a timely manner. A problem was identified that could cause bodily harm over 3 months ago and they still have no remedy or parts to fix their problem.

Takata recall my husband and I are expecting our first child in one month and were trying to trade in my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 for an SUV that would accommodate our family and because of this incomplete recall, no dealership wants to buy our current vehicle. On top of that, the manufacturer does not currently have or can provide the materials needed to fix our truck and clear the recall. We are stuck with this truck because of a faulty airbag inflator that could potentially cause harm to us and our future child. We are having to hold onto this 2005 vehicle that poses a danger to our family because of a manufacturer that will not get their stuff together and act quick enough on the repair. No one can fix the recall right now and have no information on when the parts will be available for the repair so we could be stuck with this truck for many more years to come. Something needs to be done about this so that Dodge will quit dragging their feet and take this safety issue seriously.

I got a recall over a year ago about the airbag inflator and (2) other items to be repaired, which I promptly took in and had repaired, only to find out a year later that the airbag inflator was never repaired. Nothing was said to me that the part was not available.just received another notice and must wait for parts again, what is going on" doesn't Dodge give a [xxx] about our safety? is it time to get a lawyer and sue Dodge and NHTSA, for not doing their job. Why have an organization that doesn't do their job? what are you going to do about this" information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall -- my vehicle is affected by the recall described in the NHTSA 16V-352. I took it to tom edwards Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealership in bartow fl to have this defect remedied, but I was told that parts are not available for this recall repair, and they could not or would not inform me when the parts will be available. Living in hot and humid Florida I am concerned that this 11 year old vehicle may pose a danger to the occupants of my vehicle should the vehicle be involved in a crash where the airbags deploy and send metal shrapnel into the passenger compartment. I would like to know when I can expect fca to make the necessary parts available. I am afraid to drive the vehicle until it is repaired.

Takata recall I recently received the safety recall notice in the mail and spoke with an fca employee about the recall at the number provided. The recall states that it could injure or kill myself or my family yet I was not provided with any assistance in finding another means of transportation while waiting on the recall parts to become available. Will a rental vehicle be provided while I wait for parts, as I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle?
