TAKATA RECALL -- MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA 16V-352. I TOOK IT TO TOM EDWARDS CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BARTOW FL TO HAVE THIS DEFECT REMEDIED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL REPAIR, AND THEY COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT INFORM ME WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. LIVING IN HOT AND HUMID FLORIDA I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE MAY POSE A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND SEND METAL SHRAPNEL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT FCA TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.
