2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE YET. HOWEVER OUR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED 3-4 TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VAN. WE ALSO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2014 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN BEING MANUFACTURED YET. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WE COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND OUR AIR BAGS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM COULD FAIL. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES WHERE THE VAN IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH BEGAN APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE JUNE 2014. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL IN SEPT. 2014 (IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL L25 / NHTSA 14V-373). SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. HOWEVER, I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY VAN, BUT I DO FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARDOUS DEFECT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VAN WHEN THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS DOWN. IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A RECALL WHEN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE? *TR
