| Description of the problem | Nhtsa takata recall #'s 16v-325 and 15v-313... It had to have my drivers side airbag removed in may of 2015 and now my passenger side air back has to be replaced. In may of 2015 i was put on a list at my local dodge dealer to have the parts once available to be installed. Its been over 2 years and they still do not have the parts available to install in my vehicle. They have also put me on the list for the list to have the passenger side airbag replaced. My issue is that i have to drive a vehicle that not only has an inoperable airbag, but also has one that can rupture. Its unsafe and what happens if i get into a collision with non functioning airbags! My safety is at risk as well as any passengers i carry. I did not purchase this vehicle to have non functioning or incorrectly functioning components due to manufacturer default. A remedy to this situation should be established in a timely manner before someone else is killed or seriously injured due to these defects. Please note federal motor vehicle safety standard number 208 (49 cfr 571. 208 ......... This issue is of an immediate safety concern. Thank you for your attention to this matter |
