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. IF THIS TRULY A "SAFETY RECALL" HOW IS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? I HAVE ALL DATES AND TIMES OF WHO I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP.
