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.

- Oak Hill, WV, USA
Received notice in September of 2016 that the occupant restraint controller was faulty and would result in a loss of airbag or seatbelt pretensioner in the event of a crash. I have contacted fca through their website as well as called my local Jeep dealer (jim click auto mall) and are told only that there are no parts available. A year and no parts is not fixing a problem that could lead to death in a "timely manner".

Takata inflatoors: The vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. Safety risk: The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Unreasonable amount of time to wait for repair parts (8 months so far) and refusal to provide loaner or rental vehicle.
- Chatsworth, GA, USA
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?

Several months ago I received a recall notice on my vehicle which was made in 2014. Here it is 2017 and there still is no repair available. This is a safety recall. What is taking so long? recall S61/ NHTSA 16V-668. It should not take this long to correct a safety issue.
- Hortonville, WI, USA
I called my dealership to have an unrelated issue looked at and was notified about the possible failure of my seat belts and air bags. I have not received any other notification about this matter. I was told the parts for the recall may not be available until June/July of this year. I will risk the safety of myself and my family, including a teen driver, if I continue to operate this car before the repair can be made.
