IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL. I CONTACTED JEEP - THERE STILL ISN'T A FIX. AIR BAGS & SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW DRIVER & I'M SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY & IT IS NOT SAFE. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION - IT'S NOW RATTLING UNDER THE FRONT TIRE.

I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SALUTATION TO THE RECALL AS OF YET. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE THIS JEEP WITH AN UP GRADED JEEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR BUY IT BACK. THE SET BELT BECOME LOCK AND CHOKES YOU GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE BELT AND RE SET IT SO YOU ARE NOT BEING CHOKED.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 JEEP DISCOVERED A SERIOUS, POSSIBLY FATAL RISK POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSOR INVOLVED IN RESTRAINING SEAT BELTS AND DEPLOYING AIR BAGS "UNDER CERTAIN IMPACT CONDITIONS". AS AN OWNER, I WAS NOT APPRISED OF THIS RISK UNTIL JUNE 20, 2017. THEN, WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF A REPAIR TO CORRECT THIS LEMON I WAS "INFORMED", "ADVISED" THERE WAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE AND SUCH REPAIR(S) MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SIX MONTHS. I WAS GIVEN A VAGUE ESTIMATE, AND VAGUE "ASSURANCE" I WOULD BE APPRISED OF REPAIR AVAILABILITY WHEN READY. I ASKED, "SHOULD I BEE DRIVING THIS FLAW?" THEY HAD NO SPECIFIC GUIDANCE. SERIOUSLY? ACCORDINFLY, I AM INVOKING "LEMON LAW" AND DEMANDING FULL LIQUIDATION OF MY EXISTING AUTO LOAN AT JEEP'S EXPENSE. IF THEY DO NOT OBLIGE, I SHALL SEEK CIVIL SUIT DAMAGES BY JURY TRIAL FOR ADDED EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING COUPLED WITH THEIR FAILURE TO FULLY-DISCLOSE POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW FOR OVER SIX MONTHS TO JEEP OWNERS. I EXPECT THE NHTSA TO MANAGE THIS CLAIM. PERIOD. WHAT A MESS. WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS? IS ANYONE WATCHING AND PROTECTING CONSUMERS? I EXPECT THE NHTSA TO FORCE JEEP TO IMMEDIATELY UNDERTAKE A FULL BUYBACK PROGRAM NO LATER THAN JULY 1, 2017. PERIOD.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS INCREASING RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN CRASHES, HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FROM THE DEALER. THE ORIGINAL RECALL DATE IS SEPTEMBER 2016, SO IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR. I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE THAT A REMEDY IS PROVIDED IN A TIMELY FASHION TO PREVENT THE NEED TO PROVIDE A RECOUNT OF AN INJURY DUE TO A CRASH. NEARLY A YEAR SEEMS EXTENSIVE FOR PROVIDING A SUITABLE RESOLUTION TO AN ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 10995716

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL S61/NHTSA 16V-668 NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM FCA ON 11/15/2016. AS OF 6/16/2017, THE RECALL STATUS IS: INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE THAT AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A FIX BY THE COMPANY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RISK IS: SAFETY DEFECT/NON COMPLIANCE DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY RISK: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. REPAIR DESCRIPTION: THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. FCA NEEDS TO EITHER PROVIDE FIXES VERY SOON, OR REPLACE THE VEHICLES.
