Takata recall on passenger side airback has been open for almost a year now, VIN lookup shows since may 2016.

I am unable to safely carry a passenger in this seat while the defective equipment remains unrepaired.

Takata recall. My passenger airbag rattles like there are parts loose inside of it. Chrysler just keep saying that the parts aren't available and that I must understand that it takes a long time to manufacture parts and distribute them everywhere. With all of the rattling inside this airbag device I'm fairly sure if I have an accident my passenger won't survive. In regards to the electrical often when I turn my vehicle off lights on the dashboard radio and climate control panel stay on even if the doors open. This doesn't happen all the time and these are not lights or features that should be on when the vehicle is turned off such as the air conditioner light. The problem began somewhere around the end of 2013 beginning of 2014 there have even been a few times when while driving the vehicle all of the interior lights including the dashboard go out. I've reported it to two different dealers and shown photos to the dealer when reporting the problem, they don't seem to know how to diagnose the problem and or have told me there is no problem.

"takata recall" for the past year or so I have been attempting to get this issue resolve with my dealer only to have them tell me that parts are not available. This is causing me and my family stress and a hardship since this is the only vehicle I have. The dealer only tells me not to worry since there have been no incidents resulting in injury or death regarding this issue. My question to them is why then are all this parts being recalled. I feel that the passenger as well as the driver are being place in harms way. I have been told time again and again that maybe parts will be available and then again not in late december. Is this not gambling with one safety?

The airbag light comes on and off intermittently on the dashboard, it could happen while I'm driving or while I'm stationary. One day is lit the next day is off, I'm afraid this is a safety hazard because what if I get involved on an accident and the airbags dont function properly? I heard about a recall on these vehicles with similar symptoms as the ones I'm experiencing but dealer refuses to fix it unless I pay $600

I own a 2011 dodge charger and recently had to replace the alternator. The battery light suddenly appeared followed by the ABS and skid control lights. My vehicle shut down completely within a matter of minutes. I had no steering or brake capabilities. My repair cost to replace the alternator was $813.87. In addition to the alternator issue, my airbag light came on a week ago so I went online and discovered the airbag recall. Upon contacting chrysler I was told my vehicle was not included in this recall although the dodge dealership confirmed this to be the same issue /repair as stated in the recall (airbag wiring harness needs replacing).
