Problems with 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 AIR BAGS

Takata recall my vehicle has been recalled twice over this issue, each time the repair has been completed. the current problem with my vehicle relates to the air bag module. my air bag warning light came on about a month ago at which time i took it to my local dodge dealership thinking the airbags had gone bad again. i was advised the airbags were fine but the control module had failed. then i was told that chrysler dodge no longer makes the replacement module and they would have to seek one from a salvage company they do business with. my question is simple, how can a manufacture decide to stop making a crucial component to the air bag system. i was advised that in the event of a crash the air bags would not inflate. it has been over a month now and the dealership still hasn't located a module but are continuing to search for one. i have a low milage 2003 ram 3500 heavy duty truck sitting in my driveway that is totally worthless. what can i do?

Takata recall i have received 3 recall notices,i have called the dealer and they say that there are no parts available for this repair last call was on 3/2017

Takata recall- in march of 2016, a recall was issued for the passenger side air bag. i have contacted two different dealerships, lithia motors in grants pass or.in august of 2016 and rancho chrysler jeep dodge in san diego, on oct 10, 2016. both dealerships advised that replacement parts are not available and neither location has received any nor do they know when they will receive any. do you have any information when this situation will be resolved?
