Takata recall advised there are no parts to fix passengerside airbag call back after the new year by dealer. I am concern for my safety.
There has been no incident. I'm just concerned about how much more time I have to wait for the driver's side airbag replacement/part. I received my notice on June 22, 2015 and since then there has been no response or other notification. Should I contact the dealerships to see if they have it or just continue to wait for another notice from the NHTSA? really would like to hear from you regarding this matter. I have to drive children to and from daycare and lord knows I don't need anything to happen to me during one of these trips. Just entered date because it was required. Nothing has happened with the airbag at this time.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25-30 mph, another vehicle made an illegal left turn in front of the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into the vehicle. The front driver side air bag partially deployed. The contact sustained fractured ribs on the left side of the body that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed however, the body damage was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
The car I am writing about is a Chrysler 300c. That car is not an option in the selection. My 300c is equipped with front and side air bags. When the car was hit on the passenger side by a GMC jimmy the front bags deployed but the side ones did not. Shouldn't the side bags have opened as well? that is my concern.
