Takata recall - since I got my first recall notice several years ago, I have called 4 times for replacement, 4 times I got "it's on backorder, we'll call when it comes in". I'm still waiting for several years now and have little hope from the call I made today. Cut the ts!.

Takata recall. I received an official mailing from fca stating that "parts are available" for my free passenger air bag replacement. I called the phone number provided, they took my info, and transferred me to my local dealer to make an appointment. The dealer said they do not have the parts and put me on a call back list, but could not tell me an approximate date for call back. I am just reporting this status and do not expect any response. Please note that the manufacturer and dealer have different statuses. This prolongs a very dangerous situation which in my case, I was notified over one year ago. Thank you.

I have been waiting months!! I have rec'd three mailed notices and one call. I attempted to get this resolved immediately. The local dealer has stated that he is only allocated 7 (seven) airbags a week. I still have no idea when my Dodge Dakota will be repaired. I imagine that fca really wouldn't want to be sued if I was injured by these airbags. As I have made every effort to get my truck repaired. How can I get this resolved?? I was disconnected from fca and can get no real idea of when the truck will be repaired from the dealer.
