I HAVE 2 RECALLS FROM JEEP AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR YEARS, THEY ARE P41/NHTSA 14V-438 AND P73. EVERY TIME I GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. THE FORMS THEY SEND OUT DON'T HAVE A DATE ON THEM SO THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE ANY INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AS TO HOW LONG THE CUSTOMER SITS ON THESE AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT OR THE CUSTOMER SELLS THE CAR AND THE PAPER WORK GETS LOST. THESE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE JACKED UP A LITTLE BIT AND BE GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM TO GET THESE RECALLS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS IS CAUSED BY THERE CRIMINAL INTENT TO NOT TO FIX THESE RECALLS.
