THEY SAY THE RECALL HAS"NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHT,AND FOR $100 WE CAN DIAGNOSE AND SEE WHAT IT IS" WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A RECALL IF YOU DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM??????? THE SHOP EMPLOYEE SAID "OH THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT WORK, WE HAVE NO CLUE" WHY IS IT SAFE ,USING NORMAL COMMON SENSE, TO ALLOW A VEHICLE TO DRIVE AWAY UNSAFE??????? CHRYSLER CORP WAS OF NO HELP ,DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR THE RECALL AND IT WAS NOT THERE PROBLEM AFTER THAT WAS DONE!!

THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE ORC MODULE FILTER WAS NOT INTENDED TO FIX ANY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG AND SRS?DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND A REPAIR FEE. THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY THE DEALER DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. *TR

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTICE CLOSE TO ONE YEAR AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER-JEEP-DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, I GET THE SAME RESPONSE. I'M SIMPLY TOLD, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK NEEDED TO FIX THE DEFECT. ALONG WITH, THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL COME IN. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL NOTICES I HAVE RECEIVED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR REGARDING THE SAFETY RECALL OF MY VEHICLE, THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE MYSELF TO CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. KNOWING EACH DAY I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I AM PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK, IS VERY UNSETTLING. I AM JUST CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT CONTINUES TO SEND MULTIPLE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY VEHICLE. WHEN AT THE SAME TIME, THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY TO MY SOLUTION, JUST SHRUGS IT OFF LIKE IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ALL BECAUSE, "THE PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN YET", STILL. CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH A SOLUTION? I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT CORRECT OR AUTHORIZE REPAIR FOR THIS, EVEN WHEN I HAD THE F25 SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. THEY REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM A FEW YEARS BACK, BUT THEIR 'FIX' WAS TO INSTALL THE SAME TYPE OF FAN AS WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED. IT FAILED AGAIN RECENTLY WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT - THIS TIME, WHEN IT BROKE, IT SLUNG THE BROKEN BLADE INTO THE COWLING AND LEFT A HUGE HOLE IN THIS COVER PIECE. IT WAS A RECALL, FOR HEAVENS' SAKES - IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT I SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF REPAIRING THIS, SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN OF THE 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ONE INCH TO THE LEFT WHILE LOOKING AT THE FAN, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPELLED INTO MY HEAD WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. *TR

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIND TO LODGE THIS PARTICULAR COMPLAINT. I AM TAKING MY JEEP IN ON 7/28/14 FOR A SAFETY RECALL M35/NHTSA 12V-527. I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO RENT A CAR BECAUSE THEIR LOT RENTALS ARE NOT USED FOR RECALL FIXES. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN VIGOROUSLY! WE, THE CONSUMER, ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE OVERSIGHTS ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER, SO WHY ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY $ OUTPUT TO FIX THEM? DON'T REFER ME TO THE DEALER. I KNOW IT IS UP TO INDIVIDUAL DEALERS. WOULDN'T IT BE A NICE P.R. OPPORTUNITY, FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO PICK-UP THESE COSTS? I THINK YOUR IMAGE NEEDS SOME BUFFING! I AM GOING TO MAIL MY RECEIPT TO YOU AND SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHES FROM CAR FRAME. ELECTRICAL BLOWER MODULE RESISTOR OVERHEATS, MELTS, AND BURNS. BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN BY CONSUMERS AND DEALERSHIPS, SO THERE IS NO WAY JEEP/CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAWS AND THE DANGER. DRIVER'S SEAT: THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHMENT FROM THE CAR FRAME AND THE REASON FOR IT. PEOPLE HAVE CREATED VARIOUS FIXES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WELL. AS ADDED PROOF, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DRIVER'S SEAT IN ANY JUNK YARD. PLEASE GO LOOK FOR YOURSELF. MINE TOTALLY BROKE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. IT'S TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR THIS. BLOWER MOTOR MODULE: LOTS OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS TO THE PROBLEM AND THE CAUSE. MINE MELTED AND BECAME SO HOT THAT I COULDN'T TOUCH IT WITHOUT BURNING MY HAND - WHICH I DID. THERE IS A FIX, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY AN UPGRADE MODULE WHICH STILL GETS HOT. ALSO, THE MODULE TURNS THE BLOWER IN REVERSE, SO YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE LEADS. IT'S DANGEROUS AND AGAIN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT EITHER AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE.

THE STEERING STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. TOOK RIGHT AWAY TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART IN THE STEERING CAME APART AND MESSED UP THE STEERING AND POWER PUMP. WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. STILL IN GARAGE AND WILL COST 1340$ TO FIX. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I AM GLAD I WAS ONLY DOING 35 AT THE TIME. HOW MANY OTHERS HAS THIS HAPPENED TO. WHAT IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE? WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
