FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS NOTIFIED BY FCA IN APRIL 2015 OF THE R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 RECALL. I RECEIVED NO NOTICE REGARDING REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. ON 8/5/2015 I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT PARTS HAD JUST ARRIVED. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR ON 8/10/2015. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVING WIRING AND BRAKES, ESTABLISHES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE FCA SHOULD OFFER BUY BACKS OR SIGNIFICANT TRADE INCENTIVES FOR THIS VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (R09/NHSTA 15V-115) 4/15/15. TO DATE, 8/3/15, HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF AVAILABLILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. PRIOR DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE INCLUDE: REPLACEMENT OF RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD JUST 8 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE; FOLLOWED BY 3 SAFETY RECALLS FOR ALTERNATOR (NHSTA 14-V-634) WHICH TOOK 6 MONTHS TO GET REPLACED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS AVAILABILITY; BRAKE BOOSTER (NHSTA 14V-154) AND SUN VISOR WIRING (NHSTA 14V-391). I BELIEVE A REFUND/BUY BACK IS WARRANTED DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS THIS VEHICLE HAS PRESENTED AND EXCESSIVE DELAYS IN GETTING NECESSARY REPAIRS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
JEEP VISOR RECALL- FIRE INSIDE MY JEEP: I HAD THE JEEP VISOR RECALL COMPLETED IN JANUARY 2015, TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MAY/JUNE COMPLAINING OF A BURING SMELL TWICE. THEY SAID I WAS ON THE LIST FOR THE SECOND RECALL PARTS TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME. THEY SAID THEY INSPECTED MY JEEP AND DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG AND WISHED ME THE BEST (DEPSITE MY DOME LIGHTS BEING DIM AND PASSENGER LIGHT DOCUMENTED BEING COMPLETLY OUT). MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE ON FRIDAY 7.24.15. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT STARTED IN THE PASSENGER VISOR. THIS HAS BEEN A HEADACHE OVER WHO IS AT FAULT AND I WISH JEEP WOULD INVESTIGATE TOO. MY FAMILY IS NOW AFFRAID OF JEEPS, MY DAUGHTER DOESNT WANT TO SIT IN THE FRONT ROW ANY LONGER AND IT HAS BEEN A MESS OVER A POTENTIAL RECALL ERROR. PLEASE HELP! MY CAR IS DESTROYED PER OUR INSURANCE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ITS SISTER PRODUCT, 2012-2013 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM - REFERENCE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 13V234000. THE SAME DESIGN FLAW EXISTS IN THE 2012-2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THESE MODELS ALSO NEED TO BE RECALLED. PROBLEM: THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE CONTACTS AND WEARS A HOLE IN THE ALUMINUM TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS, SO AN OWNER MAY NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS. RISK: SUCH A CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WITHOUT THE OWNER'S KNOWLEDGE, WHICH MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE AND LOSS OF FUNCTION. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL A REGULARLY SCHEDULED CHECK UP. I AM UNSURE OF WHETHER THERE IS ANY UNDETECTED DAMAGE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS ONLY MILES AWAY FROM BURNING MY TRANSMISSION OUT AND IT SHUTTING DOWN. THE REPAIR COST WAS $849.27 AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, IF IT HAD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I DO OFTEN AS A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO DAUGHTERS, THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE LOST FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. WHY ISN'T THIS RECALLED ALREADY? IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS IT'S SISTER PRODUCT THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED!
