| Description of the problem | 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. |
