| Description of the problem | Takata recall-i received a recall notice on my 2014 jeep air bag. It stated that it was extremely important to take steps to repair my vehicle to ensure the safety of myself and my passengers. I scheduled an appointment with my local dealer where i purchased my jeep. A few days later the dealership called and told me that they did not have the necessary parts to fix my jeep to make it safe. I asked when they expected to have the part and they said they did not know, that the company had gone bankrupt and did not make the airbag. I told them i did not feel comfortable with that answer and that i did not want to drive my jeep in fear that the airbag might erupt causing death to myself or my passengers. I asked them if they could disassemble the air bag so as to relieve this possibility of injury or death and they said no they could not. This is unacceptable and i am reaching out to you as instructed in the aforementioned letter. Please help!
