We have classified the 294 complaints from 2008 Jeep Wrangler about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
Notified during july 2019 of 2 recalls (s43 and s33). on 7/12/2019 s43 was completed. s33 parts were ordered. the first eta was in september. that was canceled due to lack of parts. i have brought this to the attention of the dealer and to "all star dodge chrysler jeep ram" but there is still no date and was told there is a large back order list and no known date as to when the part will be available. the recall notice said "it is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers." i have taken these steps. chrysler has put in an part order and cannot give me a date as to when this can be fixed. the size of this backlog indicates there are many installations needed.

I've called my local jeep dealership about these open recalls for over a year numerous times they tell me they will call when parts are in. no calls et. this is my only car to drive they no that. can't believe this!
Takata recall. our selling / servicing dealer has received spontaneous, limited deliveries of the parts (driver & passenger side), but will not maintain a list of customers who need the parts. it is 1st come 1st served, no appointments, no waiting list. must call weekly or "stop by" to see if parts available. this is ridiculous!
Understand from the jeep web app, fiat chrysler has parts available for the passenger air bag recall s43. but, i cannot get a dealer scheduled appointment for the recall since fiat chrysler is limiting dealers from ordering the available parts. i must wait until the dealer uses their inventory but a new shipment can be received. at this time all are marked for vehicles. seems fiat chrysler doe not think safety is a concern and may be even fighting the nhtsa ordered recall. it's hard to determine. gotten answers from parts are still being manufactored to in the warehouse what a shame the public's safety is held in such a low reguard.
