I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE AIR BAG RECALL RESOLVED ON MY CAR. I CHECKED IN SEPTEMBER AND AGAIN OCTOBER 16 AND TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. WHEN I GO ON THE CHRYSLER WEB SITE FOR RECALL INFORMATION, IT SAYS THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER, OR THE DEALER, ARE NOT GIVING ME TOP PRIORITY. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM AT RISK. I CHECKED THIS OUT AGAIN TODAY WITH THE SAME RESULT.

MY SON WAS NOT INJURED, HE WAS STILL ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED ME TO INFORM ME WHAT HAPPENED AND ASK WHAT TO DO. AS HE WAS CLOSE TO HIS COLLEGE I TOLD HIM TO BE CAREFUL BUT CONTINUE ON TO SCHOOL, I WOULD CALL HIS UNCLE WHO IS A MECHANIC AND THEN LET HIM KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER HIS CLASS WAS OVER. I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND MY BROTHER. MY BROTHER SAID TO HAVE HIM DRIVE IT TO HIS SHOP SO HE COULD LOOK AT IT. TH
