I just recently received another recall notice concerning my drive shaft universal joints and these parts are also unavailable. I have a 16 month old son who I drive in this car and this poses a safety issue. I undersatnd recalls, however, I have been waiting over a year to have my air bags replaced and now I receive this notice.
