Description of the problem	Takata recall. We received a notice from fiatchrysler automobiles on or about october of 2014 notifying us of our defective airbag and the necessary replacement. We have contacted them and our local dealer, tanner motors, brained mn. As to when this airbag replacement will be performed. We have been told the new bags are currently not available. There has been no response to these numerous calls we have made. We get the same run around. The new airbags are back ordered. How long must i drive around with this potentially dangerous condition? Who is going to be held responsible if someone gets hurt due to this delay? There appears to be an intentional foot dragging by whoever is bearing the cost in this replacement. What is our government doing to motivate these people to perform the needed repair? I am currently limiting my usage of this vehicle because of the danger it poses. I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem. Thank you in advance, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
