RECALL OF "ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE DOES NOT HAVE AVAILABLE PARTS TO CORRECT. SINCE THIS CONDITION CAUSES UNEXPECTED VEHICLE STALL CAUSING RISK OF CRASH AND/OR OVERHEATING WITH SMOKE AND/OR FIRE." I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION NOR CAN I RISK HAVING PASSENGERS WITH ME, MY ELDER PARENTS, MY GRANDCHILDREN AND/OR MYSELF. I SHOULD BE SUPPLIED A RENTAL VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SIMPLY "WAIT" FOR A SOLUTION. IF I AM NOT GOING TO BE "SAFE" THEN THEY SHOULD BUY IT BACK FROM ME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM JEEP.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE STOPPING AT A DRIVE-THROUGH ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE BRAKE SYSTEM EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE. I WAS AT A STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL BACKED UP FROM THE FLOOR AND THE JEEP STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. I HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO PARK FOR A MOMENT IN ORDER TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO A NEARBY REPAIR SHOP. THEY IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS MY BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS PART WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH SAFETY RECALL P14 BACK IN 2014. EITHER THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED, THE REPAIR WAS NOT EFFECTIVE, OR THE REPLACEMENT WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE SO AS TO CAUSE THE SAME FAILURE FOR MY JEEP NOW. ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND MY SECOND CATASTROPHIC SYSTEM FAILURE IN AS MANY MONTHS. SO GLAD I WAS NOT STILL ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!
