I was driving down the road when my passenger side airbag went off. Approximately 10 seconds later my driver side airbag also went off. I was driving about 35 miles an hour down a city street, going straight, and there were no bumps in the road. I was able to pull over into a parking lot and shut the vehicle off. I had previously taken my vehicle in to the Chrysler dealership in lakeland Florida where I lived until recently attempting to have the recall fixed and was told they did not have parts and couldn't get them. They said they would call me if they became available. They never called and now I had the airbags deploy while driving.

Takata recall: I was told by covert Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram located at 8107 research blvd. In austin tx 78758 that I would be contacted once parts are available. That was 2014. Covert kept the notices that were mailed to my home. There were approximately 5 notices. This has now been over a year since my "air bag" warning light first cames on. Warning comes on almost daily. Who will be responsible should something happen to me, or another vehicle should there be an accident? I have share pictures of my dashboard with others. And can provide same pictures to you if you can assist.

Takata recall/ the last recall that I had performed was R06/NHTSA 15V-046 occupant restraint control module. The recall was completed at bobb's Chrysler/cedar lake, in 01/16. The air bag light stays on continuously, since the recall was performed. I was told to bring it back in for diagnostics, but would have to pay for the test. I would conclude, this is not standard operating procedure, for your dealerships. Please advise. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
