Dealer is unable to order the recalled air bag. I had it in to be fixed a month ago, verified with dealer they had the part before I made the appointment. Took it in and they advised it is on backorder. Called 1q/10 and they advised they are NOT ALLOWED to order the part. What am I supposed to do?

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND! TELL YOU THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. REASON FOR THIS CONTACT IS THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT CARS WITH SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKATA! I BRING THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE NO PERSONAL INJURY EITHER! I DO NOT WANT ONE WITH THESE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS EITHER! NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I AM USING THIS SITE TO REPORT THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM DOING THIS. AS I SAID I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 2008 YEAR CAR THAT HAS HAD BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NICE JOB BY YOU FOR THIS! STILL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CHRYSLER 300 NEW IT CAME WITH THE PROTECTION GROUP OPTION! THE THING THAT IS IN THIS OPTION THAT IS OF CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT IT COME WITH THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS! WHEN THIS CAR HAD THE TAKATA IN THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS THEN IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE FACTORY WOULD HAVE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS FOR THE SIDE IMPACT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE! I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND STILL THE OWNER OF THIS CAR! I DO NOT WANT ANY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR. NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY THAT MAKE IT AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM! I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH TELLING ME IF THOSE AIRBAGS WERE MADE BY TAKATA. ON THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER WILL TAKE ONE APART TO SEE IF IT IS TAKATA BUT IT WOULD COST $384.00! ONE MORE TIME NO ACCIDENT NOW OR IN THE PAST REASON FOR THIS CONTACT THROUGH THIS IS BECAUSE I SAW NO WHERE ELSE TO DO IT. I UNDERSTOOD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO HAVE TO REACH SOME NUMBER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING FOR A RECALL. THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN SHOW FALSE RESULTS. I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE IN SMALLER NUMBERS THAT THOSE WITHOUT BAGS! RECALL *JS
