36000 MILES THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $468. HOW CAN A CAR THIS NEW NEED A REPAIR LIKE THIS SO SOON?

ENGINE
MY JEEP CURRENTLY HAS 42,000 MILES AS OF NOV 1, 2015. IT IS 14 YEARS OLD. HOWEVER, THE 3.7 L ENGINE HAS A HISTORY (1 IN 200 AS BEST I CAN TELL FROM THE INTERNET) OF SOMEHOW COAGULATING OIL INTO SLUDGE AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK. THIS JEEP IS PART OF THE TRAILER HITCH AND AIRBAG RECALL, BUT AS YOU KNOW DEALERSHIPS NEVER GOT PARTS TO UPDATE. HOWEVER, IT ALSO SEEMS THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO FAIL ON THESE MODELS. MECHANICS THAT WORK ON THESE ENGINES JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND TELL YOU CHRYSLER UPDATED THE ENGINE TO FIX THIS BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ANYBODY WHO HAS AN ORIGINALLY DESIGNED ENGINE. AGAIN, THESE ENGINES WERE DESIGNED TO SLUDGE. IT USUALLY STARTS WITH ROCKER ARMS CRACKING/BREAKING AND EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT AND CLEANSING THE OIL SLUDGES UP AGAIN. OF COURSE, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS ACT LIKE EVERY OCCURRENCE OF THIS IS ISOLATED, BUT THIRD PARTY MECHANICS KNOW BETTER. MINE HAS TWO JEEPS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE SLUDGED. BASICALLY THE SOCIAL SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT YOUR ENGINE CAN BREAK WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING. AND ALSO THAT CHRYSLER SOLD BATCHES OF THESE ENGINES THAT THEY KNEW WERE DEFECTIVE, IF NOT AT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN THEN SOON AFTER; WHEN THEY DECIDED THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. I'M ONLY BEING AFFECTED BY IT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE SO FEW MILES ON MY JEEP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TODAY AND SIX DAYS AGO I PARKED MY JEEP, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED MY KEY. I WENT TO START MY CAR ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER AND THERE WERE NO DISPLAY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE SHIFT LEVER COULD NOT BE MOVED. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. A FRIEND STOPPED BY MY CAR. HE TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH MY KEY. NO ELECTRICAL POWER OR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HE CLOSED THE HOOD HARD. HE PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND MOVED IT AROUND. THE DISPLAY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY WHILE I WAS AT THE POST OFFICE. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR A BAD IGNITION? A NEIGHBOR SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AN IGNITION PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER.

ENGINE
AFTER MY BATTERY DIED AND WAS REPLACED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT HAD DEVELOPED A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, THE 3.7L JEEP ENGINE IS BAD. AT AROUND 90,000 MILES, THE RODS GO OUT AND THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS AT MY HOUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT USABLE. I HAVE HEARD WHERE THE ENGINE HAS QUIT WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE SAME REASON. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR UP, UNLESS I FILL IT VERY SLOWLY AND LISTEN CAREFULLY, GAS WILL GUSH OUT AS THE TANK GETS FULL, EVEN AFTER I HAVE STOPPED PUMPING. IT GETS EVERYWHERE AND MAKES A MESS. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS COMING HOME WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD, AND AS WE CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN A BUNCH OF OTHER RANDOM LIGHTS ON THE DASH POPPED ON AND BEEPED AT ME. I HEARD THE CAR DIE RIGHT AS I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION. TRIED TO JUMP WITH 3 DIFFERENT CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T JUMP. NEXT DAY, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED UP FINE. DROVE TO WORK (ABOUT 5 MILES) AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I CAME ACROSS A HILL. MORE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT DIED AGAIN. HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, AND THEN WE HAD TO GET A 2ND NEW BATTERY BECAUSE I KILLED THE FIRST ONE. LATER THAT DAY I DROVE IT AROUND, AND AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AS I WAS COMING UP A HILL, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME. NEXT DAY I DROVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES ACROSS TOWN AND BACK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT IT MADE IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS JUST TRYING TO GET CHARGED UP, SO I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT WAS FINE. WHEN I CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND DINGING AT ME... AND THEN IT DIED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT. WOULD JUMP AT FIRST BUT RPM METER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THEN DIE. EVENTUALLY IT WOULDN'T JUMP AT ALL. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN. JUMPED THE VEHICLE, LET IT SIT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. REVVED THE ENGINE AND IT DIED. WON'T START. WON'T EVEN CLICK. CALLED JEEP AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD PCM. MECHANIC RENTED A SPECIAL TOOL TO TEST IT. THE PCM IS FINE, BUT THE TIPM MODULE IS BAD. NOW ALL MY OTHER WEIRD ISSUES ARE MAKING SENSE: RADIO DIALS SOMETIMES DON'T WORK, SOMETIMES IT STALLS IN THE COLD AT RANDOMLY. AND THE AIR FLAP ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING, MEANING THAT NO AIR/HEAT BLOWS OUT THE TOP VENTS. AND THEN IT DYING ON ME RANDOMLY, WITH NO OTHER WARNINGS THAT THINGS WERE GOING WRONG.

I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL NOTICE R06 FOR THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE FROM FEBRUARY 2015. MY "AIRBAG" INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON. I CONTACTED A DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, BUT THAT I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE THE INDICATOR LIGHT INVESTIGATED AT MY COST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED THE FCA RECALL NUMBER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2 1/2 AND 5 1/2 MONTHS FROM NOW. I MENTIONED THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT AND THE FACT THAT MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER-IN-LAW DRIVES THE VEHICLE. THE ADVICE I WAS GIVEN WAS THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER ABOUT A LOANER UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVE. AGAIN, UNACCEPTABLE.
