Takata recall. I recently had the second recall done on my truck and was told that they could not get the air bag light to go out. From what the service tech told me is that it is happening to alot of the cars that come in for this recall. This causes me a huge issue as now I am without a vehicle because I cannot get a passing inspection sticker.
Takata recall. No parts ever available and airbag light is on. What if someone dies because of this and it could have been prevented? This recall started well over a year ago and still no parts for this major safety issue. Many people have died because of this. Manufacturers should be held to some standard when a safety issue of this magnitude is found, and a very tight schedule for repair be maintained. If anything happens to me or my family because of this issue, I won't stop until I own chrysler/fiat as well as making sure the federal safety agency is found guilty of negligence for allowing this to go on as long as it has.

The airbag light continues to light up while the vehicle is in motion being that there is a recall it can be kinda scary not knowing if the airbags will deploy while driving. My concern is if while driving and the airbag deploys should the fragments distract my view of traffic while driving may cause a major accident. As of to date the part is not available to repair the airbags what do a driver of a recalled vehicle do???
