Jeep Grand Cherokee recall.it was in motion driving on the highway. Occupant restraint control module is RO6 / NHTSA 15V-046 or M35 (12V-527) or N13 (13V-040) I took my Jeep to the dealership, they said it was repaired, I believed what they said. I believe they fixed it around 11/07/2016. The seatbelt and airbag came on around 6/3/2017. It is still on today, I do not know what to do about that defect in my vehicle.

I received recall notice R06 / NHTSA 15V-046 many months ago. I contacted my local Jeep dealer, and they told me that there were no parts available to repair my car. I last called over a month ago (April 13, 2015), and they said that parts are still not available. I am writing to complaint that Jeep is not taking reasonable, prudent actions to acquire parts to make the mandated repair and, as a result, is placing me (and, I assume, others) at risk by failing to acquire parts and make the required repair in a timely manner.

Grand Cherokee

  • 120,000 miles
The contact owns a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 25 mph, the contact was involved in a crash. She was unable to remember the details. The seat belts failed and slammed her into the steering wheel. Both frontal air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. She was transported to the hospital and sustained soft tissue damage to her knees, several bruises, a bruised chest, and other minor injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. The current and failure mileages were less than 120,000. Updated 09/23/09 Chrysler sent the consumer a letter stating the impact was not significant enough to deploy the airbags. The conclusion was supported by the readings from the onboard computer which disclosed no codes, indicating that the air bag was fully operational at the time of the accident. Updated 09/29/09.

The passenger side seat belt locked up and failed to retract unless the buckle was unhooked. The seat belt locking up happened on numerous occasions since owning the vehicle. When a passenger reached for something the seat belt locked in the fully extended position.
