AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE A MAN RAN INTO THE BACK OF MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A STREET AND THEN SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR YEARS WITHOUT MAJOR INCIDENT. HOWEVER HERE LATELY THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55MPH. I HAVE HAD 2 TYPES OF RECALL WORK DONE. HOWEVER THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR RIGHT NOW IS BACK AT THE DEALER.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL IN THE FALL OF 2014. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPAIR. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND A FEW MORE CALLS STILL NO PARTS. I THEN RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL ON THE SAME DEFECT AND CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NOW SINCE THE FIRST NOTICE AND MY QUESTION IS THIS. IS IT A SAFETY RECALL OR NOT?

SEAT BELT ALARM IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED, THE ALARM CONSTANTLY GOES OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A HIGHWAY. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO ENCOURAGES THE DRIVER TO TAKE OFF THEIR SEAT BELT TO SEE IF THEY CAN DEACTIVE THE SENSOR BY HAVING TO REBUCKLE AGAIN.
