AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL M35/NHTSA 12V-527 ON 2/4/2014 INDICATING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM (OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE) MAY EXPERIENCE A FRONT AIRBAG AND/OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONER INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT. AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING COULD DISTRACT DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. ON 2/5/2014, I CONTACTED DEALER (PEARSON JEEP/CHRYSLER 8250 BROAD ST. RICHMOND, VA). DEALER'S RESPONSE WAS "THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THAT REPAIR". WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE WHEN A CRASH COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN USE WITHOUT THE IMMEDIATE REPAIR? I FIND THAT UNSATISFACTORY AND A DISCREDIT TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COMPANY WHICH I HAVE PATRONIZED FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT TO HEAR YOUR RESPONSE. ...........A VERY CONCERNED CUSTOMER!!! *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A KNOCKING/GRINDING WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT WHICH HAS BECAME LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT. SINCE THIS BEGAN THE STEERING IS NOW LOOSE AND PULLS AS IF NEEDING AN ALIGNMENT ALTHOUGH THIS WAS DONE APPROX. LESS THAN 1 YR AGO. IT HAS BECAME DIFFICULT TO KEEP CAR STRAIGHT WHEN DRIVING ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (YET). POSSIBLY RELATED TO RECALL BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR MY VIN WAS INCLUDED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF STEERING FAILING WHILE TRAVELING CAUSING WRECKS. THEY SHOULD RECONSIDER THE RANGE OF VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET HOLDING CHAIR HAS BROKEN FROM REGULAR USE. WHILE PARKED, I LEANED BACK IN MY SEAT AND A BRACKET ON THE FRONT LEFT THAT CONNECTS TO THE FRAME HOLDING CHAIR TO THE FLOOR BROKE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE SEAT TO BECOME MORE OF A ROCKING CHAIR, WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH. TO MY SURPRISE A DEFECT SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT WARRANT A RECALL. I WISH CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEMS THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG SOME OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IF THE DRIVERS SEAT BREAKS LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR DURING AN IMPACT OR ROLLOVER, THE DRIVER COULD EASILY BE THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL STRAPPED IN HIS/HER SEAT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GET WORSE MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SEATS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
(RELATING TO THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT ONLY) MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS WAITING AT A TRAFFIC STOP, (I WAS DRIVING) WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY ENTIRE SEAT INCLUDING MYSELF SWUNG BACK. BECAUSE OF THE BACKWARD MOMENTUM, IT CAUSES ME TO ABRUPTLY PRESS FURTHER ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL ON THE SIDE TO INSPECT THE SEAT. I FOUND THAT THE TWO FRONT BRACKETS UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN OFF. SINCE I HAD ADJUSTABLE POWER SEAT, I LOWER THE SEAT TO ALIGN THE BROKEN BRACKETS TO WEDGE UNDER THE BAR CAUSING THE SEAT TO STABILIZE OR AT LEAST HOLD IN A SEMI-SOLID POSITION. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ARGUED THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT WHERE I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT BRACKETS WOULD BREAK OFF AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY FOR A JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS MEANT TO BE DRIVEN ON AND OFF ROAD. AGAIN, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
