I BROUGHT THE SUBJECT VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL ITEMS. I DEALT WITH MR. RALPH ALFANO OF ARROWAY. I IMMEDIATELY ADVISED THAT I WAS PROFOUNDLY DEAF, AND I MAY NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL CONVERSATION. I WAS PROCESSED TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN ON NOVEMBER 9, 2017. DURING THE DAY I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MY CELL PHONE. THEY ADVISED AN ADDITIONAL PART HAD TO BE INSTALLED. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME, BUT THE WORK WAS DONE. IT TURNED OUT THAT THEY FELT THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE IMPACT SENSOR ON THE AIRBAG, AND FOR THIS THEY CHARGED ME $315.83. AS THIS IS RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE MODULE OF THE RECALLED AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL (AND NOT CHARGED TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES). I ASK YOU TO INTERCEDE IN THIS AND TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS FROM BEING CHARGED FOR THIS ADDITIONAL WORK. IS THIS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? YOUR PUBLIC NOTICE DOES NOT FULLY DESCRIBE THE REPAIR AND PARTS THAT ARE INCLUDED (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15V-046). PLEASE FOLLOW UP AND ADVISE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE CRANKS AND RUNS FINE BUT AFTER YOU DRIVE FOR A WHILE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP. IT IS RANDOM. IT USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AND RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, YOU DO NOT HAVE STEERING ASSIST OR BRAKE ASSIST. IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD. A WOMAN MAY HAVE A HARD TIME STEERING IT OR STOPPING IT. I DON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE OUR JEEP MUCH AT ALL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT DECIDES TO SHUT OFF. OUR JEEP IS A 4WD WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

THE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR IS SIGNIFICANT. THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE CLOCK ON MY RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING, AND MY CHANGE DRAWER IS BROKEN. I CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE EVENT AND THEY TOOK MY CLAIM. MY CASE NUMBER IS 314 529 09. THEY INSTRUCTED ME THAT THEY WOULD SEND OUT AN INSPECTOR TO COME OUT AND LOOK OVER MY VEHICLE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME. I HAVE A JOB AND A FAMILY AND I NEED A VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK, AND NO INSPECTOR HAS CALLED ME. I HAVE CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE 4 TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL EVENT, AND EACH TIME THEY PUT A NOTE IN MY CASE NUMBER AND PROMISED AN INSPECTOR WOULD CALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT. I NEED TO GET A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR AS I HAVE LIABILITY COVERAGE ONLY. MY VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. I AM AWARE THERE ARE 2 RECALLS OPEN ON MY CAR. THE IMPORTANT ONE BEING RECALL R06 FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. THIS RECALL WAS ADDRESSED A FEW YEARS AGO BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE CONDITION WAS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THAT I WILL BE CONTACTED WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE. I HAD NEVER RECEIVED THIS FOLLOW UP RECALL NOTICE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
