VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING ON A RURAL 2 LANE ROAD IN A RAINSTORM WIPERS WERE ON LOW SPEED, STOPPED WORKING. SWITCHED WIPERS TO HIGH SPEED, WIPERS OPERATED EXTREMELY SLOWLY, THEN OPERATED AT HIGH SPEED FOR A SHORT PERIOD, THEN EXTREMELY SLOW AGAIN. ALTERNATED THIS A FEW TIMES, THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS TO FINISH MY DRIVE OF ABOUT 60 MILES TO MY HOME DUE TO STOPPING ALONGSIDE THE ROAD TO WAIT FOR BREAKS IN THE RAINSTORM. I REPLACED BOTH WIPER MOTOR AND WIPER SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. THEN STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE FOR A SOLUTION AND DISCOVERED THE TIPN CONTROVERSY HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED DEALER..

TAKATA INFLATORES. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT GULF COAST CHRYSLER JEEP TO HAVE RECALL P78 AND R25 P81 TAKEN CARE OF FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. I HAVE EVEN CALLED 1-877-223-7634 TWICE AND STILL NOTHING. THE LADY WHO HANDLES THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME LAST YEAR THAT MY NAME WAS ON PAGE 4 OF HER FILE. WHEN I CALLED THE ABOVE NUMBER, THAT REP CALLED HER. AGAIN THEY STATED THEY ONLY HAD ONE OF THE ITEMS I NEEDED. HOWEVER, ABOUT A MONTH AGO A FRIEND OF MINE HERE DROVE UP THERE ON A MONDAY AND HE WAS TOLD TO BRING HIS IDENTICAL TRUCK IN THE NEXT DAY AND HIS ITEMS WERE FIXED!! I'M TIRED OF WAITING, I'M TIRED OF BEING TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE PARTS NEEDED. I WAS EVEN TOLD THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT ORDER ANY FURTHER INVENTORY UNTIL THEY EXHAUSTED WHAT WAS ON HAND. I WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE TO GET THESE ITEMS FIXED AND SOON. IF NOT, THEN I WILL START GOING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, THE BBB AND MY LAWYER. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN THE MAIL TODAY. HOW LONG IS CONSIDERED "WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME?"

TAKATA RECALL: WAS NOTIFIED OF PARTS AVAILABILITY IN AUG 1015. WENT TO DEALER ON SEPT 8 , 2015 AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT 6 MONTHS. CALLED TODAY (MAR 4, 2016) AND WAS TOLD I WAS #107 ON THE WAITING LIST AND IT MAY BE AS LING AS A YEAR UNTIL THEY CAN GET TO ME. ARE THEY PLAYING THE ATTRITION GAME AND HOPING SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO DO THIS RECALL? I ALSO ASKED THEM TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG IN THE INTEREST OF MY PERSONAL SAFETY WHICH THEY REFUSED TO DO. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO SPEED THIS PROCESS?
