CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES M35/NHTSA 12V-527 INFORMING ME THAT THERE WAS "A SMALL CHANCE OF AN ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS COULD OCCUR AND IF THIS OVERSTRESS CONDITION OCCUR, IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ORC COMPUTER CHIP CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, FOLLOWED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BY AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAG! INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A VEHICLE CRASH." CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER; THE PART IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. WHY IS IT TAKING CHRYSLER SOOO LONG WITH PRODUCING THIS PART??? I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT, THE DEALER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RECALL AND COULD NOT ADVISE IF MY VEHICLE WAS EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, ASAP. IT WOULD APPEAR SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS MORE THAN 10+ YEARS OLD CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE ANY INTENTIONS ON THE REPAIR AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT LIABILITY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. AGAIN, EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!! *TR

IN NOVEMBER 2012, CHRYSLER AND YOU ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF MY AND JUST UNDER A MILLION OTHER 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES M35/NHTSA 12V-527. IT IS NOW THREE MONTHS LATER.

AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS HOPING THE PARTS FOR A PERMANENT FIX, CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, WOULD BE AVAILABLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE -- WITH ABSOLUTELY NO HINT OF HOW LONG THIS MIGHT BE.

INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A VEHICLE CRASH."
