I GOT IN TO DRIVE MY '02 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND BEFORE TURNING IGNITION IT WAS LIGHTLY BUMPED AND IT WILL GO INTO ANY POSITION. ALSO,WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THE SHIFT SELECTOR (THAT CHANGES FROM N D R 1 2) WAS LIGHTLY BUMPED BY ACCIDENT, AND IT MOVED INTO N. THIS IS THE SAFETY HAZARD. IF A JEEP WAS SITTING ON AN INCLINE, AND SHIFT SELECTOR WAS BUMPED, OR SOMETHING. IT COULD ROLL DOWNGRADE AND COULD CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR ANOTHER PERSON. I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL ON THIS.

AIRBAG RECALL (M35 / NHTSA 12V-527). AFTER REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER STATED THAT I HAD BROUGHT IT IN THAT WAY - NOT TRUE. SO I'M NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM HAS ACTUALLY BEEN FIXED. DEALER NEEDS TO COMPLETE REPAIRS BY FIXING THE CAUSE OF THE WARNING LIGHT BEING ON. *JS

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE M35/NHTSA 12V-527. UPON CONTACTING DEALER I LEARNED THEY WILL REQUIRE MY CAR FOR 4 TO 6 HOURS, AND THEY DO NOT OFFER LOANER CARS, WHICH WILL REQUIRE MY RENTING A CAR. I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT RENT A CAR FOR 6 HOURS. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS, BUT TO DO NOTHING? *TR

NEITHER CHRYSLER NOR A "LOCAL" DEALER WILL SUPPLY THE PART NEEDED FOR ME TO INSTALL THE FIX. I'M A QUALIFIED MECHANIC AND HAVE ALL THE NEEDED FACTORY TOOLS INCLUDING THE DRBIII AND ACCESS TO TECH CONNECT. READING THROUGH THE CHRYSLER DOCUMENT DATED NOVEMBER 7TH 2012, I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE (MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE SQUIB CAPACITOR) AND THE PATCH CHRYSLER IS OFFERING. THE PROPER FIX WOULD BE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE CAPACITOR. I AM ASKING FOR THE PART SO THAT I CAN DO THE FIX - NOTHING MORE. *TR

I RECEIVED A JEEP AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE THIS WEEK AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED AN AIRBAG NOW. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT OVER A YEAR FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX MY CAR FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WRONG CONNECTORS TO FIX THE ISSUE (THEY TOLD ME THIS ON THE LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT). NOW THEY CLAIM THAT I MUST PAY FOR AN AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THAT THEIR DEFECTIVE REPAIR ATTEMPTS OR HAVING TO WAIT SO LONG FOR PARTS IS THE REASON THAT THE AIRBAG NOW NEEDS REPLACED. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DENYING MY REQUEST TO FIX MY AIRBAG. CAN YOU PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE? THEY HAVE DEPRIVED ME OF THE ABILITY TO SELL MY CAR FOR THE LAST YEAR, AND NOW I CAN'T SELL IT UNTIL THIS LATEST ISSUE IS FIXED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS $1600. *TR

FREEDOM CHRYSLER/JEEP, LEXINGTON, KY COULD NOT PROVIDE A TIMELY SCHEDULING TO FIX THE ISSUE PER THE RECALL NOTICE. I SPOKE WITH [XXX], SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN EVALUATION (NOT NEEDED PER NOTICE AND LATER CONVERSATION WITH CHRSYLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER. [XXX] TOLD ME NOT ALL VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND THAT IS THE REASON FOR EVALUATION, ALSO NOT TRUE PER RECALL CENTER. ASKED [XXX] TO SPOKE TO THE MANAGER, HE FORWARDED MY CALL. SERVICE MANAGER HAD A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL, I THOUGHT UNTIL HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE TWO MONTHS UNTIL THEY COULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. REASON CITED WAS THE CHRYSLER WERE NOT PROVIDING THE PARTS, ALSO NOT TRUE. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL BACK WITH AN APPOINTMENT DATE, THAT WAS SEVERAL HOURS AGO. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY WERE GREAT. HELP ME SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT FREEDOM CHRYSLER/JEEP IN LEXINGTON FOR PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED (5 MPH) DUE TO A TRAFFIC JAM, MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED. ONCE TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A FAN FAILURE FOR THE RADIATOR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. SUBSEQUENTLY THERE MAY BE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CAUSED BY THE FAN FAILURE. I RESEARCHED THIS AND DISCOVERED A RECALL ISSUED (8/2006) BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER FOR THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN (SAFETY RECALL F25). I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY (CASE #[XXX]) AND THEY SAID THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES IT APPLIES TO VEHICLES WITH THE "S" IN THE 8TH POSITION WHICH IT IS.

WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE HEATED SEATS ON AND THEY BECAME EXTREMELY HOT. I TURNED THEM OFF AND STOPPED TO LET THE SEATS COOL. LATER IN THE DAY WHEN I TRIED TO USE THEM AGAIN THEY WOULD NOT WORK. AND HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE FOR RECALLS AND I DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 09V1117000/ CHRYSLER LLC RECALL # J14. WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I WAS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I LOOKED ON THE WEB SITE "ARFC.ORG" AND DISCOVERED THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY OF THEM HAD FIRES AND/OR BURNS, YET THEY ARE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. JEEP CLEARLY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR HEATED SEATS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE RECALL APPEARS TO BE ONLY FOR SOME REPAIR PARTS FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. IF CHRYSLER HAD TO HAVE A RECALL AND INSTALL REPAIRS FOR THEIR HEATED SEATS IT IS OBVIOUS THEIR HEATING ELEMENTS ARE PROBLEMATIC AND THEY SHOULD EXTENT THE RECALL TO COVER ALL JEEP HEATED SEAT PROBLEMS. *TR
