I received recall notice m35/the federal safety agency 12v‑527 in january 2013, but when I called my dealer, they said parts won't be in until 2nd q 2013. So I called in april. No parts. I called in may, june, july, and august and still no parts. This is a safety issue...why are there no parts?

In january 2013, I received a recall notice regarding the air bag system occupant restraint control module. I called the dealer in boise, id on july 13, 2013, and they said the parts weren't available to repair the problem so they took my name & number and said they'd call when the parts were available. I called again on july 10, 2013 and the parts are still not available and they don't have any idea when they will be. If this problem was urgent enough to send out a recall notice in january, why is it that in july they still can't fix the problem and, in fact, don't have any available parts to do so? If the airbag goes off while I'm driving 50+ MPH, I can only guess at what injuries will be sustained by any passengers in the vehicle at the time. What can be done about this problem?
I was driving 60 MPH down sh 75 when the air bag light came on. A few seconds later the air bag deployed. It hit me in the chest and startled me. I had burns on my arms and it ripped a fingernail back. I thought I broke my thumb, the impact was so hard. Thankfully, I was able to keep my jeep on the road. The driver side air bag is the only one that deployed and now the seat belt does not work properly either.

The occupant restraint control (orc) module has a chance of experiencing an electrical overstress condition. Part has not been shipped to my dealer as of 7/29/2013. M35/the federal safety agency 12v‑527 notified close to 6 months ago.
The airbag control module recall was publicized in november of 2012 (safety recall m35/the federal safety agency 12v‑527). As of today, 7/23/2013, the dealer still has not received the corrective parts. An 8 month delay in correcting a defect that has the potential to cause injury or death goes beyond negligence.
The air bag sensor went off and the air bag light came on. The light stays on until I turn the car off. When I start the car again, within 5 minutes or less the alarm goes off and the light comes on. I am afraid it will deploy.

2003 jeep liberty. Consumer writes in regards to air bag system occupant restraint control module recall notice. *smd the consumer stated he received a recall notice, last september. However, as of june 25, 2013. The recall has not been resolved.
A recall was issued for defective airbags that could cause the airbags to deploy without warning. The case number is 12v527000 this was issued almost 8 months ago and still the part to fix the problem is not available. This needs to be looked into. This is ridiculous. It should not take this long for an automobile company that manufactures parts to produce these parts.
June 26,2013 I heard a beep from dash thinking it was letting me know I am low on wash fluid though I noticed my air bag light was on .a minute later while driving it went off, as of today it turns on for a min than back off.

On june 27 2013, my family and I were going to dinner approximately 6pm. We were about 1.5 miles from home heading west on ok state hwy 51 (approximately 5 miles east of wagoner, ok) as I got to approximately 60 MPH the dashboard airbag warning light flashed and dinged twice then the airbag deployed. I maintained control of the vehicle and only suffered an abrasion and bruise on the underside of my right forearm from the bag deployment.

This complaint is due to the fact that I received a notice stating that there was a defective air bag sensor in our car but that there were no parts to fix it. When will this be resolved? Why can a company continue to ignore regulations that require it to notify and then address manufacturing issues? The public puts their trust and money into the hands of these industry giants. We trust that they will provide us with safe and reliable transportation vehicles so that we might exercise our constitutional right to free travel. Recalls are designed to protect the consumer. Sending a notice out with no means to resolve the defect is not enough and is just not acceptable. We need our car to get to work and school. We cannot walk or buy a new car while we wait for the part to be created to fix our jeep. This needs to be addressed. The air bag sensor light comes on everytime we start the engine.
I received a notice of an air bag recall several months ago. Along with that notice it read the parts to fix the problem were not available. I still have not received an update that the parts are available are when they would be? My concern is the air bag problem, and also that I have not received any follow up notice.
