Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Mitsubishi Raider

Takata recall: received safety recall notice dated July 2016 front passenger air bag inflator, and, as instructed, contacted Mitsubishi customer relations dept. To confirm my contact information and to find out when replacement part would be available. In September, called again and mmna had no projection as to time frame for parts availability. Since I am the primary driver, and rarely have passengers, the delays were tolerable. But since my wife and I are planning an approx. ,1,500 mile trip to florida thanksgiving week, 11/19 to 11/26, I asked if the air bag in question could be disabled until parts are available, so that, if we encountered an accident, the front passenger would not be injured. After the customer relations representative put me on an almost interminable hold, the rep. Said no and suggested that I talk to a local Mitsubishi dealer's service department, who said that, by NHTSA rules, it could not be disconnected. Today, 11/10, I again spoke to mmna, and, again, no idea of parts availability. As I related my previous conversations, the rep said that the recall notice said that no one should sit in the front passenger seat until the inflator was replaced, I replied that no such warning was included in the recall notice, and, after a long hold, he confirmed that it was not included. I asked for a written confirmation, to which he refused.

Takata recall. I received a "important safety recall" regarding the front passenger air bag inflator on my 2007 Raider. The notice, dated July 2016, says that the parts needed to correct the issue are not yet available and that I will be contacted when they become available. I spoke to Mitsubishi customer relations this afternoon and was told that they did not have a date when the needed repair parts would be available. I asked what they would suggest that I do with the Raider while I waited on the replace parts. The representative told me that I could drive the truck, but not to let anyone sit in the front passengers seat. I would think that three months would be time enough to obtain the parts, but I was wrong. What can you do to escalate the availability of the replace part(s) and the repair of my truck? it seems that I need to park my truck until the issue is resolved, but that is not a reasonable option. However, the liability of friend or loved one being hurt or killed by the air bag rupturing during an accident leaves me with very great concerns. What is being done to quickly resolve this issue? side note: this notice was one of three air bags recalls that I have received from Mitsubishi in the past three years.

"takata recall" I received a safey recall back in July 2016. It stated the part is not currently available but it also states if you have already encountered a problem with the front passenger air bag inflator and had the air bag replaced as a result of this specific condition and have paid for the repair, send them proof of payment for reimbursement consideration. This makes me think their is another manufacture part available for the repair? I stated this in my conversation with the Mitsubishi customer relations department. She did not deny this, but also told me if I went out and had the repaired done now they would not reimburse me. I think this if all unacceptable. I have a vehicle that is not safe to put passengers in it. I also asked if could use another vehicle at their cost till mind is repaired. Their answer was no. . I think I waited a reasonable amount of time for this repair and think it should be repaired or give me a vehicle till it is repaired.
