THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT FAILURE TO PERFORM RECALL WORK. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FCA INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL IN MAY OR JUNE. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FREMONT CALIFORNIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, IN JUNE TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY AIRBAG RECALL R25 / NHTSA 15V-313, AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY ADD MY NAME TO A WAITING LIST. I CALLED AGAIN AND LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE PARTS DESK TO PLEASE CONTACT ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I WOULD GET PARTS. THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALL. I SENT A WRITTEN MESSAGE TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE OR RETURNED CALL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER THREE MONTHS, AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE - THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A SAFETY RELATED RECALL REPAIR.

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES. I DID PURCHASE THE CAR AS IS, I AM LEASING IT AT 250.00 MONTH. THE TOTAL COST OF THE CAR IS OVER 11,000 DOLLARS AND THERE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS FOR INSTANCE SEEM TO HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SOME SORT, BECAUSE THEY COME IN AND OUT. THE REAR AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH. I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING AROUND.

1). ON 7-31-13, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE SHIFT KNOB WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT TO FINNEGAN DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TX. THE DEALER REPLACED SHIFT ASSEMBLY. PAID $390.36. SINCE THEN, CAR STILL WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO GO INTO GEAR MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR. 2) RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL AND CALLED FINNEGAN DODGE, AND DROPPED OFF VEHICLE ON 6-22-15. MILEAGE WAS 82,058. DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATER AND TESTED THE SYSTEM. I PICKED UP CAR ON 6-23-15 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THERE WAS A PASSENGER OR NOT. I DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL AIRBAG WORK WAS DONE. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID SOMEONE WILL CALL BACK, BUT NEVER DID. I CALLED ON 7-24-15, AND THEY SCHEDULED ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK ON 8-5-15. HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T CHARGE ME FOR THEIR MESS-UP.
