Takata recall. contacted local dealer about 3-4 weeks ago to make an appointment and was told that there were 63 persons ahead of me. the dealer took my name and phone number and said they would contact me when it was my turn. i stopped in at the dealer this date to check on my status and to get a better idea of how much longer it would take and it was discovered they did not have me on their list. they took my information again and the service representative told me they were only getting 6 replacement bags at a time about every week or ten days or so. my concern is that it could take up to two months for me to get my vehicle corrected. considering the potential hazards associated with this recall, i do not feel this is a reasonable timeframe for this to be corrected. the airbag warning light on my instrument cluster has been on now for several months and before i even received this recall notice. when i brought it into the dealer to have it checked out, they did not know what the problem was.

I am curious to the concern that i should have about my 2006 dodge. i have had 3 recalls on my vehicle since its purchase. one for airbag issues, one for a seat belts, and the most recent one for ball bearing issues that could allow the front wheels to become loose and fall off of the vehicle. all of these are life changing events if they happen. how many recalls can one vehicle have?*ak

I was in an accident on feb 11 at 7:00 am. i went off the road to the right taking out a mailbox, a couple of trees, side swiped a telephone pole before coming to rest up against a tree. when the truck finally came to a rest against a tree, the airbag did not deploy, because of the final impact of the tree i was hit the steering wheel hard enough to bend it. the mounting of the airbag sensors are mounted on a frame rail which has rubber mount from the brace to the frame which would absorb the most of the impact. from a closer inspection of the impact zone i noticed the frame mount was bent where the mount was bolted. i was told by an inspector, that came out to look at my truck for the airbags, the insurance companies are putting pressure on the auto makers which make it harder for the airbags to deploy. it all comes down to insurance companies paying less on claims at our safety. the sensors were designed to help and did at one time but if you keep listening to outside sources instead of the consumer your creditability will be ruined. i am actually scared for my family to ride in this truck, knowing that the srs is not as safe as i was led to believe. the sensors need to be in a more solid position. rubber mounts absorb more of the impact than it should have needed to.

Dealership will not do recall work on or around my schedule. daimler/chrysler will not make dealership fix recall on or around my schedule. front passenger airbag/front passenger seat belt. *jb
