I HAVE A SAFETY RECALL THAT CANNOT BE FIXED ACCORDING TO TUNKHANNOCK AUTO MART AND SCRANTON DODGE. I'M EXPERIENCING ALL KIND OF MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO THE SENSOR BEING BAD I HAVE NO POWER, MY SHIFTING, FUEL ECONOMY ,HARD STARTS,EVERYTHING. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I NEED A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED
I SEE THERE ARE TWO RECALLS IN MY VEHICLE - ONE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND SECOND FOR THE FUEL TANK HAVING POSSIBLE LEAKAGE. I LIVE ON AN ISLAND AND THE CLOSEST DEALER/REPAIR SHOP THAT COULD DO WORK IS IN ANOTHER TOWN THAT WOULD TAKE A WEEK LONG TRIP TO GET THERE BY BOAT, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS
I WENT TO THE STORE AND PICKED UP CHIPS AND DRINKS AND KEEP RUNNING FINE. GOT BACK IN IT AND TOOK ME SEVERAL TRIES TO CRANK. KEPT GOING DEAD ON THE MILE DRIVE HOME. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED BUT MECHANIC REPLACED COMPUTER SPARK PLUGS FUEL PUMP AND INJECTION SYSTEM. STILL WOULDN'T CRANK WELL. HAD NEW COMPUTER PROGRAMMED. NOTHING. TILL SAYS 3 CYLINDERS ARE NOT WORKING AND I NEED A NEW MOTOR.
I AM FILING THIS TO GET SOME SORT OF HELP AND DIRECTION TO TAKE CARE OF THESE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE NHTSA NUMBER 13V-252.

AFTER HAVING SERVICE DONE TO THE FUEL TANK UNDER A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, I NOW GET ERROR CODE 0544, LARGE EXHAUST GAS LEAK, . I HAD SERVICE DONE TO THE HOSES, AND TWO WERE FOUND DAMAGED NEAR THE TANK, , I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, AND FINALLY REPLACED THE COMPUTER. BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SATISFACTORY ANSWER, BUT IT MUST BE RELATED TO WORK DONE BY THE JEEP DEALER. *TR
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE EVERYTIME I TURN THE WHEEL,BROUGHT IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT, MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE OF THE FUEL TANK AS WELL AS AIR BAG SIGN.. CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER THEY GAVE ME A 2 MONTHS WAITING PERIOD. ..
I HAVE BEEN GETTING THESE RECALL FOR TWO YEARS AND EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DODGE DEALER (HELMS MOTORS IN LEXINGTON TENNESSEE 38351) THEY SAY THE SAME THING "NO PARTS, CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THEM". WHAT AM I TO DO WITH THE RECALLS? I HAVE SIX ON THIS JEEP AND NONE HAVE BEEN FIXED. I THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THE PROBLEM. *TR
I BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR A RECALL N46. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD CHRYSLER THEY DID THE RECALL BUT MY SHEET FROM THEM SAID INSPECT PER RECALL DID NOT PASS INSPECTION TOO RUSTED. I CALLED YOUR AGENCY WHO TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT I PERSONALLY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE AREAS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO RUST AND THEN THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE RECALL. THEY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THE JEEP HAS RUSTED. I FEEL IT IS CHRYSLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR ALL NECESSARY REPAIRS SO THE RECALL CAN BE COMPLETED AND THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY CAN BE INCREASED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE 2 RECALLS ON MY JEEP RIGHT NOW. N46 AND R06- I WAS TOLD TODAY BECAUSE I LIVED IN WINTER CONDITIONS THAT THE N46 - CANNOT BE INSTALLED BECAUSE THERE IS CORROSION IN THE FRAME OF THE CAR MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE HITCH TO BE INSTALLED. SO IF I AM IN A COLLISION AND REAR ENDED MY FUEL TANK COULD EXPLODE. THE R06 COULD NOT BE PREFORMED WHICH IS THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO PARTS AVAILABLE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2015. SO I COULD BE DRIVING AND MY AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY WHICH WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME A SOLUTION TO EITHER ISSUE. I TOOK TIME OFF OF WORK TO HAVE THESE ISSUES RESOLVED AND IT WAS A WASTE OF MY DAY AND TIME NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
