2007 DODGE MAGNUM Air Bags Problems

Front passenger and driver airbag recall, stop driving recall. Called the FCA manufacturer to find my recall options, they claim the dealer I requested won’t tow to dealership?? Sounds absurd with the stop driving recall.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that while driving approximately 32 mph the vehicle crashed into a second vehicle causing severe damage to the front end but the front driver side air bag did not deploy and the front passenger-side airbag was partially deployed. The driver sustained head, neck, torso and back injuries and the front passenger sustained an injured right hand. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted regarding the incident. The failure mileage was 111,000.

CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. WHY ARE THERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVERS LIVES? WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE THREAT? DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT SAVING DRIVERS LIVES?
