Problems with 2005 Dodge Dakota AIR BAGS

Takata recall. on 2/4/2016 i took my truck to courtesy chrysler/dodge/ram located at 9207 adamo drive east in tampa,fl. the airbag inflator was replaced. as soon as i drove off of the dealer's lot i noticed that the seatbelt warning light and alarm would not turn off. i immediately returned to the dealership. the parts and service manager said the dealership was not responsible, although i explained that the problem did not exist before my visit to the dealership. the dealership said that they would have to order a new seat belt buckle at a cost of $125.00 + labor. i refused to order and pay for a part to fix a repair that did not exist prior to my visit. i was making an 11 hour drive the next day to start a new job and i needed to have the problem resolved. the parts and service manager was very unprofessional. i left the dealership. the seatbelt warning light and alarm still continue to go off and on although i always wear my seatbelt. note that i called the fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) recall assistance center on 2/4/2016 after i returned from the dealer. i described the seatbelt problem but fca was just as uncaring as the dealer.

What options are available. parts are not currently available to fix my driver's side airbag recall problem. my local dealer does not know when parts will become available. spoke with truck company they have no idea either. ask for an interim solution - they don't have one except don't drive the truck or go about your business as usual and wait for parts availability. can i get a rental truck at the mfg. expense until the parts are available and my truck if fixed?

Dealer has failed to remedy this defect within a reasonable time. ( over six months)
