The consumer was advised by service personnel that the recall service would be performed and the motor vehicle was left with the service department to have the recall service performed. Shortly thereafter, the consumer was advised via telephone call that the recall service would not be performed.

31 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2016

My car poses a safety hazard to me and any others who ride in the car with me, due to the defective takata airbags that were placed in my vehicle under the takata airbag recall. Without my consent or knowledge, dominion Chrysler of bedford, va replaced both front takata airbags (driver and passenger side) with 2 more defective takata airbags! how is this legal or safe!? I only found out about this dirty trick, by reading an article online, and then I called my dealership and they confirmed that they did indeed replace my defective takata airbags with 2 more defective takata airbags and that I would get safe, non-takata airbags in the future, under the recall. When? they did not know. I had the first airbag replaced in 2016 and the second one replaced in 2017. When will I actually receive safe, non-takata airbags under this recall? my vehicle is not safe to drive and yet Chrysler and the united states government purposely put defective and potentially fatal takata airbags in my car, not once but twice? I don't have another vehicle to drive and I can't afford to discard this one and buy another potentially dangerous vehicle. I am nervous about driving this vehicle every time. So what am I supposed to do? what are millions of others supposed to do? neither the fca or NHTSA ever informed me that I would be getting a second set of defective takata airbags under this recall. How many others are just as unaware as I was? it is now July 2022 and I need safe non-takata airbags, like I was promised, under this nationwide recall, now. All unsafe takata airbags need to be replaced today under this recall. How many more people need to be injured or die, due to these defective takata airbags? no amount of money can compensate for loss of health or life. Please do what is right and what you promised the american people you would do! uphold and enforce the law and give us safe non-takata airbag replacements!.
