Problems with 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 AIR BAGS

Takata recall - purchased vehicle used - found out about recall via carfax. went on www.moparownerconnect.com and looked up recall using vin. status states that the driver airbag inflator must be replaced, and that the repair parts are available. placed call to the chrysler group recall assistance center and was told that the parts are not available......i am very concerned and upset. the young lady at the assistance center told me that the parts were still being tested???? so....what if we have an accident and the airbag deploys and seriously or fatally harms someone???? this recall should have been flagged better on carfax and these vehicles should not be allowed to be sold until the parts are available.

Purchased a used 2008 dodge ram 1500 big horn p/u truck from mooresville motor company in mooresville, nc, last week. i noticed the recall on the carfax and "assumed" it had been repaired. i went to www.moparconnect.com and looked up the recall using the vin. the status states that the driver airbag inflator must be replaced, and that the repair parts are available. i placed a call to the chrysler group recall assistance center and was told that the parts are not available..... i am very concerned and upset. the young lady at the assistance center told me that the parts were still being tested and that there is no estimated date that they will be available??????so......what if we have an accident and the airbag deploys and seriously or fatally harms someone?????this vehicle should not have been allowed to have been sold, period! not until the parts are available!!!! i am now afraid to ride or drive this vehicle and i definitely don't want my children or grandchildren in it. i need to know when will parts be available; what do i drive until then; and why was this vehicle even sold???

On about 5 different times my accelerator pedal has gotten stuck and accelerating to about 90 plus mph while on the highway. i had to stomp on it several times to get it unstuck. i have seen where other people have had the same problem as mine. however the dodge dealer in baytown texas said they have not gotten any recalls on this problem and can not do anything for me until there is a recall. also i was told about the airbag recall and they also have told me that they will not do any repairs until i receive a recall notice by mail which i still have not received. we have had problems receiving our mail due to new mail carriers put the wrong mail in different mail boxes. so what can i do to address this problem before i am in and accident and injury or kill someone and or myself. i have also had some issues with my steering.

Takata recall. i have been on a repair list at the local dealership since late december of 2015 and am told that as of 3/10/16 they do not expect to have the parts available to repair my vehicle for quite some time. this seems to be far beyond a reasonable time for this repair.

I've been waiting since the recall was first announced. make several calls to local dealers and coperate offices. i've still have not heard back from anyone in reference to this matter. unable to use my truck on a daily basis due to fear of a incident.

I received a notice of recall on the air bag inflator months ago. this notice also advised that no parts are currently available and i would be notified when available. yesterday, having heard nothing, i called the dealer and they advised they would put me on a list and i might get a call in ~ 4 months when parts arrive. nhtsa keeps telling me i am in danger but the car manufacturer doesn't seem to want to respond with any urgency. how do we speed this up?
