Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

The recall for the tipm was issued in October 2014 (P54/NHTSA 14V-530) and the parts are still not available as of March 3, 2015. I need more of an update than, sorry we know your car has a safety issue, but we don't have the parts. If it's enough of a safety concern that they notify me each month of the failure to have inventory, perhaps they should save the postage and Focus on purchasing the parts. I am tired of waiting.

My husband was in an accident on a sunny morning with no precipitation or ice involved while driving in a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was not speeding or found responsible for this accident. A Chrysler authorized body shop and the insurance company totaled the car based on the steering column, electrical system, the airbags, as well as the seat belts - which we found strange since we drove the car from the accident. It has been over a year now that he has been dealing with the aftermath of this accident - a traumatic brain injury from this small collision, still out to work, having trouble functioning, and trying to get some answers as to how an airbag that deployed at a speed of 30 mph or less can injure someone so much. Fca (which is now Chrysler) is not giving us any straight answers as to whether this case is involved with the tanaka airbag recall situation. Based on their actions we feel that fca doesn't want to pay for/take responsibility for the vehicles that they have inherited from Chrysler. Through our dealings with fca we are learning that they cannot be trusted to do what they say they are going to do. Fca has told us a few different stories about the orc module, airbags, and seat belts, what we have found is that fca is a group of liars and this needs to be looked into by the federal government immediately as fca is directly putting american safety at risk. We were very loyal Jeep customers prior to the fca buyout because of Chrysler's previous track record of safety and their reliability as a company to take care of important issues like these, fca is not following in their footsteps and I hope all who read this that can do something about this will.

In October 2014, my Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled without warning three time. There was complete loss of power, no warning lights. I have a push button start and had to come to a complete start, place it in park, and restart. Each time was on a busy street with many unhappy drivers slamming on their brakes. I left the car at the Jeep dealership for two days and they found nothing. The next week, I got the recall. I took it back and they checked with the regional service guy. They changed the tipm pending the "final fix." No more stalls occurred. They then did the "final fix" in January. I had another stall on January 26! I'll take it back with the next recall for god knows what and see what they suggest. I'm not optimistic.

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

I have received 3 recall notices regarding my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (NHTSA 14V154, 14V530 and 14V391). After receiving notice 14V154 I contacted the local dealership (larry H miller in boise Idaho) and was informed that the parts were back ordered with no date when parts would be available. This information was repeated in September. Having now received 3 recalls I attempted to schedule to have all 3 resolved at the same time. However, when I tried to schedule a service, I'm told that, while parts are available, they will not order the parts until I bring my vehicle in first. When I asked why they stated that they needed the VIN number. However, they not only have my vehicle information on record and I had the VIN available during the call. I asked to complete the service order on the phone and was told it was "policy" to schedule service appointments only when the vehicle is present and only then will they order parts. This dealership has exceeded the reasonable amount of time to complete the repairs and is creating an unreasonable barrier to completing the services.

I've been receiving recall notices on a Jeep I purchase last February (used) on recalls P14, P36 and P54. I continuously call Jeep to have these issues repaired and am told the parts are not available, Jeep hasn't shipped or they just have too many recalls. How do I get my recalls fixed before I do have a crash?? I am concerned.
