TAKATA RECALL . I WAS GIVEN A RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN 2016 . THE JEEP DEALER IN N MIAMI SAID THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WILL NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARRIVE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN 1 YEAR. I AM MOST APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAJOR ROADS . THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE . PLEASE ADVISE
Air bags, Dec 29, 2016
TAKATA RECALL: IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. AT THAT TIME NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE & I WAS TOLD THAT AVAILABILITY WAS UNKNOWN AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY DECEMBER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOW FOR ONLY ONE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THAT WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, AS TO THE 2ND AIRBAG, AGAIN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND NOW WAITING OVER 5 MONTHS FOR COMPLETE REPAIR IS NOT RIGHT AND EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. WHY MAY JEEP TAKE SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?
Air bags, Dec 28, 2016
TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE RECEIVED THREE NOTICES FROM FCA ABOUT THE CRITICAL NEED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED, AND YET FOR SIX MONTHS NOW, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. CAN YOU PLEASE COMPEL THEM TO DELIVER THE PART TO A DEALER NEAR ME (IN GLENDALE CALIFORNIA) SO THAT I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER QUICKLY. MY FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THEM IS ATTACHED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REACHED OUT TO THEIR DEALERS WHO CLAIM THAT THEY ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE FACTORY TO SUPPLY THE PARTS NEEDED. YOUR INTERVENTION WOULD BE APPRECIATED SINCE THEY DO NOT RESPECT OR RESPOND TO ME. I HAVE HAD NO INCIDENTS OTHER THAN THE REPETITIVE WARNING LETTERS FROM THE FACTORY, AND THEIR NOT BEING ABLE TO RESOLVE THE MATTER DESPITE THEIR TELLING ME THAT THE FAILURE TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY MIGHT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IF THEY ARE SENDING OUT NOTICES LIKE THIS, THEY SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO RESOLVE IT RIGHT AWAY.

WE TOOK TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP; BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE US OVER 500 A SEAT TO FIX- SAID IT RAN OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60,000 MILES. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED BY YOU GUYS TO COVER SEAT-BELTS LONGER THAN THAT. I HAVE A INVOICE SHOWING THAT WE TOOK THE JEEP IN AND THAT THE SEAT-BELT RETRACTORS ARE STUCK, BUT NO WAY TO UPLOAD FROM HOME.

Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 28, 2016
THIS VEHICLE FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCES FUEL "SPIT-BACK" ON FILLING. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/06, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE DATE IN JEEP'S LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT EXTENDED GUARANTY FOR SPIT-BACK. ALSO, THE TANK BEGAN LEAKING AFTER EVERY FILL UP. IT LEAKED ON THE GROUND AND/OR WITH GAS FUMES PRESENT UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOT BELOW 1/2 TANK THE LEAK SOURCE WAS WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS INSERTED INTO THE TOP OF TANK. THE IRON CLAMPS AND LOCK RING FOR THE FUEL PUMP ARE LOCATED IN A DEPRESSED "BOWL" AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WATER ACCUMULATES AND REMAINS IN THE BOWL CAUSING THE LOCK RING AND CLAMPS TO RUST. THE RUST EXPANDS AND CRACKS THE PLASTIC THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MADE OF. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, LOCK RING, AND FUEL PUMP. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND THESE CONDITIONS CAUSE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PROBLEMS. I INFORMED JEEP (CASE NUMBER 30126422) ON 9/15/16 AND THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE SPENT $1,019.60 ON EMERGENCY AND PERMANENT REPAIRS. PHOTOS OF THE TANK AS IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE JEEP SHOWING "THE BOWL" AND RUST, RUSTED CLAMPS, AND CRACKED FUEL PUMP ARE ATTACHED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
