There was a recall on the airbag system, which I have taken to get fixed. There is a airbag light now flashing on and off and I am too afraid to drive it. When I asked about the dealership ship shewed me away and said maybe it's the wiring, well hell I didn't wire it myself. I want it noted I called about this issue also reported it was told it's not part of the recall. So I guess they wait for something to happen first, then recall it"!"
A dashboard warning light is on that indicates a problem with the front air bags. I have a 2010 Dodge Avenger. My mechanic recently advised me to get this checked out as a recall.

Takata recall. This has not been rectified yet. I keep checking the status of the recall and it says remedy not available yet. I have grand kids I drive around so safety is extra important to me. Please advise
It has been months since I received the S61/NHTSA 16V-668 recall notice, as of today I haven't received any updates on this matter.I checked online and it said the manufacturer hasn't been able to come up with a solution for this problem, I am very concerned because I drive this vehicle every day and it isn't safe to drive. If they cant fix it they should supply a safe loaner car that I can use until they can make the necessary repairs.
