Takata recall i received a recall notice on my 2004 dodge 2500 pickup. the recall is dealing with the front passenger air bag. apparently the airbag inflator "may rupture and result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death". i called the recall notification number so that i could be put onto a list, so that when the parts come in, i would be notified. i wouldn't have been too worried, except the last time they sent me a recall notice (may 2015) for the drivers airbag, i still had not received the notice that the parts were in. when i called, a person said that she could set up the first recall repair, but the arts weren't in and wouldn't be available until 2017. i set up the appointment. i am pissed off (not good for me). i have had a vehicle with airbag inflators that "may rupture and result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death" and chrysler doesn't seem concerned. america, when do we stop accepting mediocre from companies like this? why is this acceptable? nhtsa, why is this okay with you?

Takata recall. i am writing to relate my experiences in attempting to have the safety recall service work, regarding the airbag recalls, performed on my vehicle. the safety recalls are referred to as p78 (driver side airbag) and r25 (passenger side airbag). over the last three months i have tried on multiple occurrences, to arrange this service recall work via dealerships directly and with the fca us recall assistance center - during which both the fca recall assistance center and the dealerships have expressed that they have no idea on either part availability eta or when the service recall work could be performed. initially i attempted personally calling dealerships, but was unsuccessful in securing an appointment due to dealerships either not responding or dealerships having no idea on part availability or when recall service could be made. i then attempted calling the fca (fiat chrysler automobiles) recall assistance center on separate occasions. with an fca rep, myself and a dealership all on the same call, the dealership confirmed parts and appointment. after appointment the p78 recall fix had not been done - marked no parts no eta. i called the fca recall assistance again, and after almost an hour of myself and the fca rep together calling dealerships, all the dealerships again expressed they had no idea on when the parts would be available and no idea when the service recall could be performed. i apologize if this is the incorrect forum (website suggested by fca) to relate these fca and dealership experiences. i appreciate this is a huge recall affecting millions of vehicle and vehicle owners. i thought it maybe worthwhile to relate my experiences of both the fca and the dealerships, repeatedly conveying they have no idea on parts eta and no idea as to when the service recall work could be done. thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Both driver and passenger airbags did not deploy at impact! vehicle is a total loss due to the outcome of the collision. vehicle struck a barn and exited out of it until struck a massive tree which finally stopped the truck. the vehicle was in the taylor jeep dealership for air bag recall and was told they checked it out and found that i needed a special sensor for the recall repair and i will be contacted. i'm assuming what ever the technicians did might not have connected the airbags correctly resulting in them not deploying.
