Takata recall I am upset at the way these takata recalls are being handled by dealers and the manufacturer. Neither dealer or manufacturer seem to have a handle on what is happening, when parts will be available, disseminating proper information to customers, etc. I just returned from wasting this morning at a dodge dealer because I scheduled the work, and when I got there was told no parts were available. I should have been told that when I scheduled the work. I live 45 minutes one way, so it takes time and money to make these useless trips. I think much pressure should be exerted on manufacturers to divert airbags to recalls, and pull the airbags away from new car production until this issue is resolved. There should also be one person in charge of airbag recalls at each dealership to coordinate the flow of information, scheduling, parts, etc. And takata should pay the bill for these persons. Thank you.

Signed up for passenger air bag recall on july 22, 2016. I have waited over two and a half months to be notified to bring my truck in to have airbag replaced. I have made numerous calls to 1‑800‑853‑1403, only to have been hung up on. They leave me and my passenger in danger. The truck is unsafe to drive and I'm worried each time I have to use it that hope the airbag does not explode. I need my truck and need them to repair it cause they created the problem. Please help me to get my truck airbag replaced, I think I have given them more than enough time.

Takata recall. On 2/4/2016 I took my truck to courtesy chrysler/dodge/ram located at 9207 adamo drive east in tampa,fl. The airbag inflator was replaced. As soon as I drove off of the dealer's lot I noticed that the seatbelt warning light and alarm would not turn off. I immediately returned to the dealership. The parts and service manager said the dealership was not responsible, although I explained that the problem did not exist before my visit to the dealership. The dealership said that they would have to order a new seat belt buckle at a cost of $125.00 + labor. I refused to order and pay for a part to fix a repair that did not exist prior to my visit. I was making an 11 hour drive the next day to start a new job and I needed to have the problem resolved. The parts and service manager was very unprofessional. I left the dealership. The seatbelt warning light and alarm still continue to go off and on although I always wear my seatbelt. Note that I called the fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) recall assistance center on 2/4/2016 after I returned from the dealer. I described the seatbelt problem but fca was just as uncaring as the dealer.
