STRUCTURE
I JUST GOT A COPY OF THE N47 REAR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT RECALL. YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. WHO TOOK THE PAYOFF ON THIS ONE? THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN THESE VEHICLES GET HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THE GAS TANK EXPLODES. THE 1999-2004 NEED TO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE N45 RECALL SAME AS THE 1998 AND EARLIER MODELS. AS WE ALL KNOW THE 1998 AND EARLIER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ARE A FADING MODEL DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLES. MEANING THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND AS MUCH MONEY TO FIX THESE 1998 AND EARLIER MODELS AS THEY WOULD IF YOU INCLUDED THE 1999-2004 MODELS WHICH SHOULD BE INCLUDED BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME STRUCTURAL PROBLEM AND WILL BE ON THE ROAD LONGER. MY GOODNESS THIS IS COMMON SENSE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I WANT MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RECALLED AND FIXED. DEALERS HAVE QUOTED ME PRICING BETWEEN $600.00-$750.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED CORRECTLY ON MY MODEL. HOW ABOUT HAVING JEEP JUST GIVE ME THE PARTS AND I WILL FIX IT MYSELF. (THAT'S A JOKE) ANYWAY FORWARD THIS TO CHRYSLER/JEEP FOR ME AND MAKE SURE MY COMPLAINT GETS REGISTERED, SO THAT WHEN THIS REAR STRUCTURAL MISHAP HAPPENS TO ME AND I SURVIVE THE INCIDENT EVERYONE WILL HAVE COPIES WHEN THE LAWSUITS BEGIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY, RURAL ROADS AND MAIN ROADS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS. WHEN THE CAR CUTS OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO WALK BACK HOME OR GET SOMEONE TO COME GET ME IF IT WAS FURTHER AWAY. I HAVE HAD TO USE SOMEONE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO IT AND I WILL WRECK MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS KILLED IN A SIMILAR ACCIDENT. AFTER A WHILE THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN, BUT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OFF ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, WHEN I WOULD JUST CRANK THE CAR AND THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT CRANK BUT THE 2ND TIME IT WOULD. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OCCURANCE. WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO SEE IF IT WILL CRANK. IT DOES AND THEN I PUT IN DRIVE. IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED AND YOUR CAR CUTS OFF, YOU LOSE POWER AND COULD EASY WRECK. IF I WAS TO PULL OUT AND IT CUT OFF, I COULD BE HIT AND KILLED OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS STRANDED RECENTLY, A GENTLEMAN CAME OVER AND BROUGHT SOME EQUIPMENT WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE EITHER THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR THAT IS BAD. HE ALSO SAID THERE COULD BE A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES OF THAT MODEL YEAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I'VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 3-4 TIMES. NOW ITS READING THE RPM EXTREMELY HIGH. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY JEEP'S COMPUTER BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THERE'S ALSO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I STILL CAN'T FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM.

I WANTED TO ADVISE YOU THAT THE CONSENT ORDER SIGNED ON 7/24/15 WITH FCA US LLC AND NHTSA MIGHT HAVE SOME PROBLEMS IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION .

I AM JUST WANTING TO INFORM YOU THAT APPROX. 3+ YEARS AGO I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND ALSO REC. THE RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK PROBLEM. WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL (3 YRS LATER) THEY FINALLY GOT THE PART AT THIS TIME THEY ADVISED ME THAT I WAS ALSO ON THE GAS TANK RECALL AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN. I FOUND OUT THAT THE FIRST AIRBAG REPAIR DID NOT WORK AND THEY WERE SCHEDULING FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. AT THE TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN THEY NOT ONLY DIDN'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO DO THE 2ND AIRBAG REPAIR BUT I ASKED THEM WHEN THE TRAILER HITCHES WERE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT REPAIR AND STRANGELY MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ON THAT RECALL. WHICH MADE ME VERY SUSPICIOUS AS TO WHY I WAS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPPED. I FIGURED THEY WERE REDOING THE RECALL LIST TO MAKE IT LESS BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT I NEED A SAFE CAR AS I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILD AND 86 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN MY CAR. WHAT KIND OF GAMES ARE THEY PLAYING? I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANT WITH GETTING THE 2 RECALLS TAKEN CARED OF OR HAVE THE BUY BACK OPTION OF THE $1,000 OVER MARKET VALUE THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT SO I CAN TRAVEL SAFELY WITH MY FAMILY IN A SAFE CAR.

AIR BAGS
OUR JEEP WAS RECALLED IN NOV OF 2012 FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS THAT COULD DEPLOY AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE RIGHT IN FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE SINCE BEEN DRIVING IT AROUND WITH TWO CHILDREN IN IT. WE THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN JAN 2015 STATING THAT THE ORIGINAL REPAIR DOES NOT SATISFACTORILY ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENTS. WE HAVE SINCE USED THE VEHICLE ONLY WHEN NEEDED, BUT NOT WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR, AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A CRASH. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. TODAY WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID THAT WE HAVE BARELY DRIVEN THE CAR IN SEVEN MONTHS AND WE NEED TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS AT LEAST "SAFE TO DRIVE", WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY ALSO STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT WE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WANT THEM TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM, BUT THEN TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY GET THE PARTS. ...UPDATED 10-13-15 *BF
