I believe a few years back there was a recall on the airbag sensor going off. I had the sensor checked, and was told the recall was addressed and cleared. My sensor is now going off again. Is it possible to have it repaired again until the previous recall?

The company grava Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (29 mystic ave, medford, MA 02155), did not perform the requested recall. He returned the car to me with no solution and no documents. But I have an exchange of text messages with the employee of the company where I make it clear that I need the recall.

I rolled the Jeep and not all the air bags properly deployed. Even the cop was surprised. The airbag did not come out of the steering wheel.

While traveling going down the road under very common conditions as far as smoothness of road, the passenger seat headrest deployed all of a sudden. I understand from reading online articles about this part, this is to happen during an accident. However, I also read that many have had this issue with headrest deploying under normal driving situations. This seems to be a very dangerous situation if it were to happen in the drivers seat.

I am making a compliant to your company about my airbags and seat belt pretension. I received a recall notice in July 2017 and went online to find out how and where to get the recall issue handled. While online I was informed that the parts needed to correct my seatbelt and airbag problem was not in. I applied to receive an email to inform me of when the part(s) needed to correct this issue would be in. I was given a reference number since 7/24/17 and I have not received anything on getting my car repaired. I drive this car daily and would like to know when it will be repaired. My feelings of safety or constantly been tested as I have to travel daily and this is my source of transportation. I feel that 6 months has been long enough to wait for something to be done. Your company has not addressed this issue in a timely manner and no updates have been emailed or sent to me. I believe that for some reason I have been overlooked. I am still awaiting the parts needed with a list of available dates to get serviced in my community. Very disappointed in how this situation has been handled. I have not been in an accident or had any serious issues with my vehicle. I am making this complaint because I feel that you as a company has neglected to fulfill your duty and provide me with the safety measures deserving of a consumer.

"takata recall" I received a safety recall letter on my Jeep and went down to my lithia Jeep of reno to make an appointment. I was told I could not make an appointment at this time. I was told that they are only doing 10 recalls a month, and that there are at least 100 persons ahead of me. Lithia Jeep of reno is the only Jeep dealership in town! I expressed shocked that I was to wait over 10 months on a recall part, and the service employee just shrugged his shoulders. This is highly unacceptable!

On May 18th 2017 my daughter had a crash that resulted in her death while driving her 2011 Jeep Patriot. She ran of of a fm road, jumped a small drainage culvert on a downgrade. Continued straight and hit another drainage culvert a little larger with cement around it on an upgrade with the passenger side front tire. On the other side of the culvert was a stop sign at an intersection. The stop side broke off damaging the windshield and roof on the passenger side. Then the vehicle continued into a private yard where the Jeep came to rest. The Jeep has a standard transmission and was found in 5th gear. A parametric lived close by and attended to her right away but was unable to revive her. The side curtain airbags both deployed and her seat belt locked although when the seat belt locked is not known. The front air bag did not deploy. This vehicle is involved in an incomplete recall without remedy pertaining to the occupant restraint system dated September 13th 2016. Fca recall S61. NHTSA recall number 16V-668....updated 06/13/17...updated 07/11/17 updated 11/1/2017
