NHTSA complaint #11093906, filed 2018-05, 130,000 miles“My airbag light comes on intermittently and I am not sure if it is safe to drive. I realize there is a recall already in place to fix, but I am being informed by my dealership and by my Chrysler customer service rep rep that my airbag can not be repaired until december 2016 that is over a year from now and 19 months from the original recall of may 29, 2015 airbag recall number 15v-313 that is ridiculous. I understand this is a big recall, but my issue is that dealerships are only fixing one car a week per (Chrysler) regardless of how many parts are sent to dealers. …”
