3 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2016

Takata recall I have gotten several notices in the mail that my Dodge Durango has a recall for both the driver's side and passenger's side air bags. I have contacted my dealer about getting the recall rectified 3 times now but am told that they do not have the parts on hand to fix. I find it hard to understand why my vehicle can not be fixed in a more timely manner. What is it going to take to get the air bag replacement done?.

4 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2016

I was told I would get a loaner car for my driver side air bag, then every time I am put through to to dealer I am then told I may have to go to the enterprise and get a rental and put down $100 of my own money. . . I don't have that. So that is still not replaced, also now there is no parts for the passenger side and it's not at all safe, the light is going off and on in my car and I have section 1 and my car is 2004 meaning the 6-9 years is now in the 13th year. I want a loaner car till you can finally fix both airbags, this is insane!.
