Was contacted by Jeep about recall several months ago. Have contacted them to schedule repair and they say the parts not available yet. Contacted Jeep recall assistance center and they cannot give any time frame for making the part available. Seems to me it has been long enough that they should be able to give some kind of time frame for a repair.

Grand Cherokee

  • 120,000 miles
On August 21, my son and I were proceeding through an intersection doing approximately 40 mph when an oncoming driver failed to yield and turned directly in front of our Jeep. We were wearing our seat belts. We both sustained head injuries as a result of the crash. I don't remember much afterwards. We are healing and just thankful we are able to tell our story. The Jeep has been declared totaled due to extensive front end damage and a bent frame. Things could have been a lot worse. However, I still have to wonder why the airbags did not deploy.
