The fact that replacement airbag modules are "na" with an unknown timeframe for availability should not be acceptable. If a private citizen was knowingly placing other (driving) citizens in danger, what would be the consequences? incarceration, restriction, removal of license, overwhelming fine, all of the aforementioned. Most likely. So how is it that a company turning enormous profit is allowed to skate on this issue. Should we accept the pithy "well, safety is our main concern, but we are waiting on replacement parts from a supplier"....I don't think so. Chrysler should be compelled legally to turn their vast profit-driven resources into securing the parts even if they have to factorize themselves and produce them. Or are we (and you) just compliant sheep acceding to the occasional slaughter?

I received a safety recall notice over one year ago for a defective occupant restraint control module. I immediately called the local Jeep dealer to schedule an appointment for repair; however, they stated that replacement parts were not yet available. I called one month ago, and, again, parts were not available. For the last 3 weeks, my airbag light has been lighting up for long periods. Please advise.

I moved to a small town. I have received three recall notices. The nearest dealership that can service my Jeep continues to tell me " those parts are not available ". after that, no one would bother to even return my emails. I realize they make no money performing a recall, but why am I to be punished" I found a dealership in medford Oregon, about 120 miles away, left my information and I am waiting for a response from them. The recall of my ball joints was fixed immediately. I lived in a large area. So now with three new recalls and no one to fix the issues, what can I do? do you have any influence over these dealerships to make them fix the problems" the way it stands now my steering will go out just as my airbag deploys, causing someone to rear end me, and with the new faulty gas tank recall, a collision will ensue thus blowing up my Jeep, me, the faulty air bag, and the recalled steering mechanism! I don't look good in " blown up". anything you can do would be helpful. Thank you!
