Is there's a deadline to fix a auto recall on air bag system?
- Chicago, IL, USA
NHTSA recall # 16V-668 on my 2012 Jeep Compass is still incomplete. The manufacturer still advises there is no remedy, even though it has almost been a year since the recall was issued. I am trying to trade this vehicle in and the dealership is telling me they can't accept a 2012 excellent condition Jeep Compass with 54,000 miles on it, because of a recall that can't be fixed. Therefore, I am being penalized for something that is completely out of my control and is the full responsibility of the manufacturer.

I do not feel safe driving my vehicle when the seat belts and air bags may not work in a collision! currently there are no parts to fix this issue and the recall was initiated in September of 2016--it has been almost a year! what about children riding in the vehicle?!

Rec'd notice from fca regarding recall, S61/nhta16V-688. After contacting fca, was informed that part required would be available by 1 June 2017. Have yet to hear from fca nor could a rep tell me when part would be available. Situation is such that the affected vehicle can not be sold or traded and is loosing value. Vehicle is parked and essentially unusable as it could produce more harm than good to myself or others if used and an incident occurs. Fca is not responding as they stated or as I requested nor have they provided reimbursement for diagnostic work done a local dealer as they initially promised.

I received a recall for a defective seat belt and air bag assembly in my 2012 Jeep Compass weeks ago. Because this vehicle is used in a fleet capacity, I pulled it from service immediately. I talked to Dodge and was told there is no remedy at this time. I then asked for a loaner vehicle until my vehicle was safe to drive and was told that Dodge doesn't have a rental program for recalls. I don't know how this manufacture doesn't have a plan to rectify an inconvenience that their customers have to go through regarding a problem that wasn't the customers fault to begin with. I'm very unhappy Dodge treats customers like this.
