I brought in my car in to Roger Williams Chrysler in Weatherford TX, 1102 Washington Dr, Weatherford, TX 76086, for Safety Recall R06. The first appointment I dropped off the vehicle and received a rental, which was covered by FCA under the recall. A couple of days pass as they order parts and perform the maintenance. I return to my vehicle once they stated the Safety Recall was completed. The airbag light was still on, they couldn't tell me what DTC was associated with the light so I checked it myself. The DTC's were airbag DTC 54 and 55 (Side impact sensor internal fault). Safety Recall R06 instructs the dealership to replace impact sensors should they have any DTC's on them. R06 also states, at least twice, NOT to replace the front impact sensors, which they boasted and were proud about replacing. They stated "the tech has done hundreds of these recalls and always replaces the front sensors". I explained why I felt the recall maintenance was not completed to the tech when I picked up my vehicle. He maintained his narrative that the recall was satisfied and if I wanted them to look into it further it would be a minimum of $300. As weeks go by while I work with FCA customer care and the dealership service manager I am forced to drive a vehicle with faulty airbags. After several weeks and numerous phone calls and arguing I convinced the dealership to take another look at the vehicle. Upon their second look they initially maintained that the recall was satisfied and that the front sensors were replaced. I pleaded with the service manager once more to check the DTC's and review the NHTSA/FCA Safety Recall R06 instructions to replace the side impact sensors. They finally do, now the vehicles airbags are functioning and all is well. I just wonder, how many hundreds of WJ's are out there that had this maintenance done incorrectly and either don't know or didn't push hard enough to have it done correctly. How was this even able to get to this point?
In 2012 or before, prior to when I purchased the vehicle on March 20, 2012, this vehicle was subject to a recall notice. Many times, and most recently in August 2020, two different dealers have not repaired the defect, and I have been advised the part is not "in stock".

We were driving into our parking stall at home when our airbags deployed. As we reversed and drove forward to straighten our car in our stall we noticed the airbag light turn on suddenly and airbags automatically deployed. Our entire family was in the car and kids are traumatized. Super scary moment, and what if we were driving on the highway!
At start up airbag lights stay on I stop at the store and shut off the engine and start it back up the airbag lights are off. Issue 2. driving down the road and start up a hill it down shifts or high rpms a fuse blows.
Air bag warning light stays on intermittently upon startup, usually will go out if shut off and restart, but not always. Has been recalled twice already for airbag issue so am fairly confident this is the same problem still. Only 89000 miles on the vehicle and is 100% garage kept..

On February 22, 2018 we brought our 2002 Jeep Cherokee in to merrick Chrysler on sunrise highway in wantagh because my wife was advised of a security concern over the airbag unexpectedly deploying (which has already happened to her in an unrelated incident). After scheduling and waiting a couple of months we brought the car in and after 3 hours I was told they didn't have the parts and to call back. My wife refused to even sit in the car until it was fixed. I called the dealer and they refused to even give me a time frame on receipt of the parts or repair of the recall. Within a few weeks thereafter I was at my wits end went to the dealership and purchased a newer Jeep Cherokee the was guaranteed not to have any problems but to this day I haven't received even a call regarding the repair which has now cost my family an additional $26,000, but it sure wasn't the way we wanted to get a new car. We have a gorgeous new Jeep that she drives and I also purchased another car because I do not want to get hit in the head by a faulty air bag. Please help us with our recall. Seriously, enough is enough already. We have a gorgeous Jeep in our driveway, registered and insured and undriveable, unless you can guarantee that if the airbag deploys we will have our own dealership if we live through the accident!! even more concerning is the disdain and importance with which we are treated. Buy a new car they drool at your feet but god so help the poor old schmuck who shows up with some old clunker that they won't make a dime off of. Please help us. Its just not fair.
When is this going to be forced on Chrysler Fiat, I had a recall post card about this problem and that's 3 years ago !!!! they say they are working on getting the parts and as soon as it's available we will get another notice to fix, let me just say this is bs, Chrysler is basically buying their time so that the remaining vehicle for this recall to be junked or out live their years. The ntsb should be ashamed in not getting Chrysler to fix this !! for god sakes it's been 3 years and still nothing, you guys are worthless and don't enforce your own recalls !

I brought the subject vehicle in for recall items. I dealt with Mr. Ralph alfano of arroway. I immediately advised that I was profoundly deaf, and I may not fully understand all conversation. I was processed to have the recall work done and brought the vehicle in on November 9, 2017. During the day I spoke to the service department on my cell phone. They advised an additional part had to be installed. I could not understand fully what they were telling me, but the work was done. It turned out that they felt that they had to replace the impact sensor on the airbag, and for this they charged me $315.83. As this is related to the defective module of the recalled airbag, this should be part of the recall (and not charged to the owners of the vehicles). I ask you to intercede in this and take action to protect the consumers from being charged for this additional work. Is this not part of the recall? your public notice does not fully describe the repair and parts that are included (NHTSA recall number 15V-046). Please follow up and advise.
