SOMEONE IN A 3/4 TON WORK VAN RAN THROUGH A STOP LIGHT AND PLOWED IN TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT / SIDE OF MY JEEP WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WE WERE ON THE CITY STREETS.. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT WHILE MAKING THE LEFT TURN AND BEING HIT SO HARD MY WIFE AND I WENT THROUGH A PIZZA SHOP HEAD ON. NONE OF THE 8 AIR BAGS IN MY JEEP WENT OFF. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE JEEPS AIR BAGS FOR WHICH I DID GET A HOLD OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL IS STILL OPEN AND NO THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME. NOW READING THE JEEPS FACTORY USER GUIDE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. THE JEEP DOES HAVE SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAGS AND FROM READING THE FACTORY USER GUIDE IT STATES THAT THIS VEHICLE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAGS TO PROVIDE ENHANCED PROTECTION TO HELP PROTECT AN OCCUPANT DURING A SIDE IMPACT. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE GONE OFF MY WIFE WOULDN'T HAVE GOT SO HURT. SHE NOW HAS A RIGHT CERVICAL STRAIN, LUMBAR CONTUSION, AND A RIGHT CLAVICLE FRACTURE. ALSO WITH THE HEAD ON COLLISION INTO THE BUILDING THE FRONT AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF THEY DID NOT.

S61 RECALL IN EFFECT SINCE SEPTEMBER 2016 (9 MONTHS). NO REMEDY HAS BEEN ISSUED AT THIS POINT. I HAVE BEEN IN A RENTAL FOR 15 WEEKS AND DEALING WITH OUT OF POCKET COSTS WHILE I WAIT ON REIMBURSEMENT. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE HASSLE WITH NO END IN SIGHT. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS RECALLED VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THAT I HAVE WORKING SAFETY DEVICES PROTECTING MY FAMILY AND I. JEEP NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE THESE VEHICLES BACK. I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IT IN ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN A JEEP DUE TO THE RECALL. THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF REPLACEMENT AT THIS POINT, OTHER THAN THE HASSLE OF A LONG TERM RENTAL THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR UP FRONT AND WAIT ON REIMBURSEMENT.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, PARTS ARE STILL "UNAVAILABLE" AND I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHOSE AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS SERIOUS INJURY. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE PERMITTED?
