Seem that 6 month is long enough to come up with a fix. still no solution?

Takata recall.

Takata recall: received notice s43 / nhtsa 16v-352 on july 18, 2016. it has been 3 months and parts are still not available for repair. this imposes a significant risk to any front seat passenger that an inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. i am especially concerned that since i live in an area with high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time that the at risk condition is more likely to occur. what can the dot do to see that these parts are expedited for those of us living on the texas gulf coast? *tr

Takata airbags. needs urgent resolution. our vehicle is exposed to summer heat to 110 degrees outside air temps (interior vehicle temps 140 + degrees) and winter lows to 15 degrees plus truck is 10 years old. currently, also, exposed to high humidity with heavy winter rain in past two months. have contacted local dealer's repair facility without resolution; their excuse is no parts. when is this going to get resolved? note: poor performaance "adequacy of existing safety recalls".

Takata reccall. no remedy since mid 2016. it is now the end of 2016. if something happens with this air bag which is supposed to save lives and it causes damages instead there will be major litigation to follow... we need to be safe in these situations, not killed or maimed.

Takata recall...two vehicles in family affected. the dodge dealer says that it will be months before the parts can be obtained. the saab letter says "who knows" when the parts will be available!

Takata recall - it's been over a year since i've notified my dodge dealership and nothing has been done.

Nothing has happened but this is under the takata recall and it needs to be fixed

Takata recall i took this truck in for the recall, left the dealer and the steering locked up as i turned onto a road, i had to jerk it very hard to release the wheel and when it did release it made a snapping sound from the steering column in the area where the airbag sits. went back and told them what happened and five minutes later i was told my steering shaft couplers are bad. i never had this issue before, but they say i'm wrong as of now we are afraid to drive this vehicle.

I have repeatedly attempted to repair my dodge dakota's recall. initially i contacted huntington beach chrysler dodge jeep ram and was told that my name would be placed on a list and i would be contacted. nothing! i then contacted courtesy chrysler dodge jeep ram of orange county. finally had the first recall repaired, but not the march 2016 air bag recall. i have called and contacted the second dealer since march 2016 to repair the air bags and have been told every time that the dealer has no parts, but that they will call me. it has now been one year...and i have never been called....by either dealer. help!!

I was told that it would take 30-90 days for a part to be delivered to my dealer. i received a recall notice about the airbag indicating that metal fragments could strike and potentially cause serious injury if my driver side airbag deploys. a thirty to ninety day wait is unacceptable.

I received a recall for the airbag p40/nhtsa 14v-354 at least 6-7 months ago. in july i was informed by king auto center, lihue, hi. that the parts were in. then i received another recall, r25/nhtsa 15v-313. i called the dealer and was told they had the parts. then after 3 days, they called and told me they had to order more parts. it is now september, and i called and they told me they were just now resubmitting the order for parts, and i have to wait. this is ridiculous, especially since my vehicle has been in hawaii it's whole existence! i need help! thank you! *tr

Re: safety recall. i have made 4 attempts to resolve recall # p40/nhtsa 14v-354 airbag failure in my dodge dakota truck.. no parts available per dealership and probably will not be available per dodge until the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year, if then. why??? *tr

I was notified by dodge in november that my takata airbags needed to be replaced due to explosion issues. i called dealer promptly and they scheduled an appointment for january 9. as of today, they still have not honored this appointment because dodge is not even shipping replacement airbags yet. meanwhile, there has been yet another report of a fatality due to these airbags. so, i am driving around with a potential "bomb" in my truck and the company is doing nothing to fix it. *tr

The manufacturer first sent recall notification in november 2014. i immediately responded to the local dealership to request remedy. i received a second identical notification a few months later to which i responded again to a different dealership. i have now received a third recall notice for the same problem (june 2015) and they manufacturer has not made these parts available to the dealerships. i am complaining about the timeframe for this matter.
