Takata recall as seen in the screenshot at http://prntscr.com/duexx7 this recall has been open for over half a year and yet no remedy is yet available. i live in a high heat area (las vegas vicinity) and "heat aging" is listed as a contributing factor for the airbag inflator. it is unacceptable that this recall cannot yet be remedied as the lack of a remedy endangers my family.

Takata recall i am upset at the way these takata recalls are being handled by dealers and the manufacturer. neither dealer or manufacturer seem to have a handle on what is happening, when parts will be available, disseminating proper information to customers, etc. i just returned from wasting this morning at a dodge dealer because i scheduled the work, and when i got there was told no parts were available. i should have been told that when i scheduled the work. i live 45 minutes one way, so it takes time and money to make these useless trips. i think much pressure should be exerted on manufacturers to divert airbags to recalls, and pull the airbags away from new car production until this issue is resolved. there should also be one person in charge of airbag recalls at each dealership to coordinate the flow of information, scheduling, parts, etc. and takata should pay the bill for these persons. thank you. *tr
