TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. IN THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY JEEP ONCE. AS IT APPEARS THAT THE WRANGLER IS THE ONLY VEHICLE IN THEIR LINE THAT IS AFFECTED, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER AND LIVE IN ALABAMA WHICH IS "ZONE A" FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE A COLLEAGUE THAT HAS A SIMILAR AGED VEHICLE FROM TOYOTA THAT WAS TOLD TO PARK THE CAR AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER BY TOYOTA UNTIL A FIX WAS AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER. AS THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT I USE TO DRIVE MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL, THIS CONCERNS ME. IT SEEMS THAT JEEP IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, AND I AM LEFT PUTTING PASSENGERS OF MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. ANY EFFORT TO CONTACT JEEP HAVE RESULTED IN NO RESPONSE. I WOULD MUCH PREFER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED AND/OR REMOVED UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE RATHER THAN A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MY CHILD. EVEN A NEW INFLATOR THAT IS NO SO OLD WOULD BE A BETTER TEMPORARY FIX. I WOULD APPRECIATE SEEING SOME ACTION ON JEEP'S PART OR SOME ACTION ON THE PART OF NHTSA TO FORCE THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (R13/NHTSA 15V-222) FOR CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH. I REMOVED THE PART (1 CLIP AND ONE CONNECTOR) AND TRIED TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART AT LOCAL DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE FOR THE PART AND I ASKED FOR NO CHARGE DUE TO RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PART BECAUSE I "MIGHT NOT INSTALL IT CORRECTLY". THEY WANTED ME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR (PUT THE PART BACK IN AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE THEM ENOUGH FAITH THAT I COULD PLUG IT IN?). I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT AT DEALER TO HAVE A PART PLUGGED IN, SO CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE. DEBATE ENSUED REGARDING WHAT FCA WILL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR. I PROPOSED THAT I WILL BUY THE PART AND SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT NOT BE REIMBURSED. AFTER REVIEW OF TITLE 49, I CALLED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE BACK AND CONCEDED SOME ASPECT OF MY ORIGINAL ARGUMENT (BASED ON TITLE 49, 30120 (A)(A)(I)) AND OFFERED TO LET THE DEALER COME OVER AND CLIP IN THE PART. OF COURSE, THEY REFUSED AND RECALL ASSISTANCE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, IN ESSENCE, INSTALLING THE SUSPECT PART THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT NOT INSTALL CORRECTLY (THE BASIS FOR REFUSAL TO PROVIDE THE PART), THEN DRIVE TO DEALER). I ASKED IF I THERE WAS SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT PROPER INSTALLATION, WHY WOULD FCA ENDORSE THE INSTALLATION OF THE OLD PART. FCA THEN RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. FIRST OF ALL, SHOULD I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PART, IF I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED? FCA POSITION IS MAYBE. SECONDLY, WHY IS REIMBURSEMENT AT THE DISCRETION OF FCA?

ENGINE
WHILE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY ENGINE MAKE A 'CLICKING' NOISE, DIDN'T SOUD TOO SERIOUS, BUT CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN BARELY ANY OIL IN IT. IT WAS AROUND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE DATE, HOWEVER TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT AND ASSUMED WAS THE IDLER PULLEY AND CHANGED IT. DROVE IT SAME NIGHT AND WAS STILL MAKING SAME NOISE. TOOK IT BACK AND HE JUST SPOKE WITH A 'CHRYSLER SERVICE PERSONNEL' AND STATED "CHRYSLER HAD A BAD ENGINE CASTING FOR MOLDING THE ENGINES AND AT HIGH TEMPERATURES THE ENGINE ITSELF WILL WARP." SO NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRM.

WHEN DRIVING AT 40 MPH OR FASTER THE CAR WILL HIT A BUMP AND START SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE LOSS OF CONTROL COULD OCCUR. COULD POSSIBLY BE JUST THE TIRES, BUT SEEMS A LOT OF EARLIER JK WRANGLERS SUFFER FROM THIS.

JEEP DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. NO RHYME OR REASON, CAR WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BETWEEN 45 - 65 MPH. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP AND PULL CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS STOP. INCREDIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT SPITS A LOT OF FUEL OUT WHEN IT GETS FULL AND SEVERAL TIMES GETTING ON MY CLOTHS AND SHOES. I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET BACK IN THE JEEP AND WOULD GET STATIC AND IGNITE MY CLOTHS AND BURN MYSELF BADLY I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANYONE. I'VE READ THAT CERTAIN DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE TANK FOR FREE AND OTHERS AREN'T .IS THERE A RECALL OR FIX IN THE WORKS FOR THIS OR DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BURN UP TO GET ANY ACTION? PLEASE ADVISE
