2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE R06 / NHTSA 15V-046 MANY MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY CAR. I LAST CALLED OVER A MONTH AGO (APRIL 13, 2015), AND THEY SAID THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAINT THAT JEEP IS NOT TAKING REASONABLE, PRUDENT ACTIONS TO ACQUIRE PARTS TO MAKE THE MANDATED REPAIR AND, AS A RESULT, IS PLACING ME (AND, I ASSUME, OTHERS) AT RISK BY FAILING TO ACQUIRE PARTS AND MAKE THE REQUIRED REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY THROUGH HAS A TENDENCY ON COLD STARTS AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR WHILE. SINCE LOSS OF ALL POWER IT IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

CANNOT GET THE POWER WINDOWS TO WORK..AFTER CLOSING & OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND TURNING THE INSIDE LIGHTS OFF & ON IT WORKS VERY RARELY.. THIS STARTED IN EARLY JUNE 2014.... THIS IS UNSAFE WHEN MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE IN THERE CAR SEATS AND THE WINDOWS DECIDE TO MALFUNCTION.. I AM AFRAID THEY COULD EXIT THE JEEP WHILE IT IS MOVING CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN A FATALITY !!! *TR

WITHIN THIS LAST YEAR I HAVE CONTACTED THIS DEALER AND TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WHICH HE WAS VERY RUDE AND I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER MANAGER OR OWNER OF THE BUSINESS TO CALL ME, AND I STILL CONTINUE TO WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THEM. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO OR YOU TO HAVE THIS RECALL CHECKED TO MAKE SURE REPAIRS WERE DONE?, AND DONE CORRECTLY?, AS WITH THE LIGHT ON AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE, MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE.

DEAR SIR/MADAM: THIS CONCERNS THE M35 RECALL RELATING TO THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (2003 IN MY CASE). YESTERDAY, 2-26-14, THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED THE FIX TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT AFTER THEY HAD PRESUMABLY GOTTEN THE PARTS NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES, IN MARCH AND SEPTEMBER 2013, AFTER GETTING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONSIDERABLE WAITING, I ENDED BEING TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE SERVICE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS--'PRIOR TO MARCH 2013, THEY SAID NOT TO KNOW WHAT PARTS WERE NEEDED. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT ALLEGING THAT THE RECALL DID NOT PROVIDE FOR THAT. I FOUND THIS ILLOGICAL. ON THE ONE HAND, I BELIEVE THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND, ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE NOW FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AROUND THE TIME CHRYSLER JEEP INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. IT TOOK CONTACTS OVER A YEAR'S TIME WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FINALLY HAVE THEM "CORRECT"' THE PROBLEM AND I AM NOW LEFT WONDERING IF IT HAS INDEED BEEN CORRECTED. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE WERE TO LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
