WE KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES ON THE AIR BAGS ON OUR JEEP. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR WE ARE TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THEY TELL US THEY WILL CALL WHEN PARTS AND SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. WE HAVE TAKEN NOTICES IN TO THEM 3 TIMES AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AS THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. ARE WE BEING PLAYED BY A DEALER WHO DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THIS? OR ARE THERE REALLY NO PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE?

HELLO, OUR JEEP OFTEN OR ALWAYS HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS WAS A CONCERN OF OURS, AND WE HAD HEARD AWHILE BACK THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON JEEP LIBERTYS AIRBAG. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FIX, THE COMPANY WANTED AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE COULDN'T AFFORD. RECENTLY MY MOM WAS IN A CAR WRECK, DESTROYING THE VEHICLES ENTIRE FRONT AND MAKING IT UNUSABLE. SHE TOLD ME SHE ONLY RECEIVED BURNS AND THAT SHE PROBABLY WOULDV'E BEEN OK IF THE DAMAGED AIRBAGS WERE FIXED. SHE MENTIONED TO ME SHE RECEIVED BURNS ON HER ARMS THAT WERE THE FAULT OF THE BAD AIRBAGS THAT WERENT ANY GOOD. SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO EXPLAIN THIS BETTER THAN I CAN SINCE I ONLY KNOW THAT MUCH. HER HAND THIS MORNING IS NOW SWOLLEN FROM THE INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A HEAD ON CAR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER PERSON SET TO ENTER THE FREEWAY ON A CITY STREET
