HELLO, OUR JEEP OFTEN OR ALWAYS HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS WAS A CONCERN OF OURS, AND WE HAD HEARD AWHILE BACK THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON JEEP LIBERTYS AIRBAG. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FIX, THE COMPANY WANTED AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE COULDN'T AFFORD. RECENTLY MY MOM WAS IN A CAR WRECK, DESTROYING THE VEHICLES ENTIRE FRONT AND MAKING IT UNUSABLE. SHE TOLD ME SHE ONLY RECEIVED BURNS AND THAT SHE PROBABLY WOULDV'E BEEN OK IF THE DAMAGED AIRBAGS WERE FIXED. SHE MENTIONED TO ME SHE RECEIVED BURNS ON HER ARMS THAT WERE THE FAULT OF THE BAD AIRBAGS THAT WERENT ANY GOOD. SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO EXPLAIN THIS BETTER THAN I CAN SINCE I ONLY KNOW THAT MUCH. HER HAND THIS MORNING IS NOW SWOLLEN FROM THE INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A HEAD ON CAR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER PERSON SET TO ENTER THE FREEWAY ON A CITY STREET

MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY WAS RECALLED IN 2015 BECAUSE OF AN EXPLODING GAS TANK PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING THAT RUST ON THE THREADS OF THE FRAME MOUNTING HOLES PREVENTED THEM FROM MOUNTING A HITCH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD THREAD A BIGGER HOLE, USE A BOLT AND NUT,OR JUST WELD THE NEEDED REPAIR PART ON - THEY REFUSED. I JUST THIS DAY TOOK MY JEEP TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIFFERENT RECALL REPAIRED SO I ASKED THEM TO CHECK CHRYSLER - JEEP RECORDS ON MY JEEP AND THEY HAVE IT LISTED AS SATISFIED FOR THE EXPLODING PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TRUE, THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT EVEN AFTER SEVERAL E-MAILS TO THEM. NOW I SEE THAT THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEPS EXPLODING EVEN AFTER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT MAKING THIS COMPANY DO A PROPER REPAIR ON MY JEEP?

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT FCA'S RECALL IMPLEMENTATION. FCA SIMPLY DOES NOT GET PARTS OUT TO DEALERS TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED ON THE CAR BUT THE DEALERS DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS. ALL THE NOTICES DO NOT MATTER IF THE MANUFACTURERS DO NOT GET PARTS OUT TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. FINE THEM IF THEY DON'T GET PARTS OUT TO DO THE REPAIRS!!!!

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SUBMIT MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY FOR RECALL REPAIRS RELATING TO RECALL N46 AND R06 BEGINNING MORE THAN A YEAR AGO TO MY TWO NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIPS; TATE JEEP IN FREDERICK AND CENTURY JEEP IN MT. AIRY, MARYLAND. WHEN I INQUIRE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES BY MAIL INSTRUCTING FOR RECALL REPAIRS I AM BEING IGNORED FOR SERVICE. CENTURY JEEP PLACED ME ON A CALL-BACK LIST, BUT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. WHEN I CALLED AFTER 4-5 MONTHS I WAS TOLD I AM STILL ON THE WAITING LIST. A YEAR HAS GONE BY WITH NO FURTHER CONTACT. WHEN I INQUIRED OF TATE JEEP ABOUT RECALL REPAIRS THEY WILL NOT RESPOND BACK TO ME. I FOUGHT WITH CENTURY JEEP FOR ABOUT A YEAR TO HAVE MY AIRBAG RECALL ADDRESSED. FRANKLY, I AM TIRED OF BEGGING AND PLEADING WITH MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE RECALL WORK PERFORMED. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID EVERY DAY I DRIVE MY LIBERTY OF HAVING THE AIR BAG EXPLODE IN MY FACE OR MY GAS TANK EXPLODING FROM A REAR END COLLISION. CAN YOU HELP PROMPT MY DEALERSHIPS TO ADDRESS THESE OUTSTANDING RECALLS. I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE RECALL NOTICES ON A PERIODIC BASIS INFORMING ME THAT MY RECALLS HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. CENTURY JEEP TELLS ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR PARTS IN STOCK. THEY TELL ME THAT THEY ONLY GET A COUPLE EACH MONTH FROM CHRYSLER. HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP? I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE ME. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THERE ARE 12 ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE. I WANT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SOME RECALLS ARE "INCOMPLETE" AND CANNOT BE REMEDIED RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH JEEP DEALERSHIPS - THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY WERE UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EITHER NOT DOING THE WORK THEY SAID THEY DID OR BREAKING SOMETHING ON MY JEEP AND CHARGING ME FOR IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY VEHICLE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT EITHER HAS NO RECALLS OR ONE THAT HAS PASSED COMPLIANCE. NO ACCIDENT YET. DO I REALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT? 12 RECALLS?
