2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE HEATED SEAT. YESTERDAY, IT GOT EXTREMELY HOT SO I SHUT IF OFF FOR FEAR OF A FIRE OR BEING BURNT, AND TODAY IT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER HEATED SEAT. I FOUND OUT FROM A DEALER THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO DISCUSS THIS, AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE IS DISPLAYING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS COVERED IN THIS RECALL, YET FOR SOME UNEXPLAINABLE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN EXCLUDED.
