AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE M35/NHTSA 12V-527. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT MY NAME ON THE LIST, THEY SAID I WAS 3RD IN LINE. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS NOW AND NO WORD ON WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS. IN THE MEAN TIME THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER RECALL REGARDING THE GAS TANK. REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. PLEASE TRY TO GET ANY ANSWER TO EASE MY MIND. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 3.7 JEEP MOTORS. FROM WHAT THE MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IS THE LIFTERS POP LOOSE IN THE HEAD AND THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS BLOWN. THE LIFTER RATTLES AROUND IN THE CYLINDER HEAD MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISE. MY FIRST ONE WAS IN I THINK 2007 ON PASSENGER SIDE AND THE LIFTER JUMPED. TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PARTS WAS OVER 600.00 AND MY SECOND ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS EXTERNAL DAMAGE DONE AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL OF THE JEEP BLOGS WITH THE 3.7 MOTOR IN MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THIS COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SENSOR IN OUR CAR BUT THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. WHEN WILL THIS BE RESOLVED? WHY CAN A COMPANY CONTINUE TO IGNORE REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE IT TO NOTIFY AND THEN ADDRESS MANUFACTURING ISSUES? THE PUBLIC PUTS THEIR TRUST AND MONEY INTO THE HANDS OF THESE INDUSTRY GIANTS. WE TRUST THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH SAFE AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES SO THAT WE MIGHT EXERCISE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE TRAVEL. RECALLS ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. SENDING A NOTICE OUT WITH NO MEANS TO RESOLVE THE DEFECT IS NOT ENOUGH AND IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE NEED OUR CAR TO GET TO WORK AND SCHOOL. WE CANNOT WALK OR BUY A NEW CAR WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE PART TO BE CREATED TO FIX OUR JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON EVERYTIME WE START THE ENGINE. *TR
