2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THIS IS A COMPLAINT AGAINST NHTSA. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN THOUGH 100'S OF CONSUMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT A CERTAIN PROBLEM WITH THE AIR FLOW BLEND DOOR ON JEEP GC PRODUCTS NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS FAILURE IS A DEFECT AND NOT A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM. I AM SURE THERE WOULD BE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS BUT NOT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS SITE OR THEY DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER. IT APPEARS THAT THIS WEB SITE DOES NOTHING BUT ALLOW PEOPLE TO VENT ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND NOTHING MORE IS DONE ABOUT IT OR WITH IT. OUR TAX DOLLARS PAY THESE PEOPLE AT NHTSA AND WE GET NOTHING FOR OUR MONEY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IT COSTS YOU TO FIX SOMETHING AND THEY DON'T CARE IF IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE YOU PHYSICAL INJURY OR EMOTIONAL PAIN BECAUSE IF THEY DID THEN THEY WOULD HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A DEFECT. . THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THE ACTIONS, WELL LACK OF ACTIONS BY THE NHTSA. I FEEL IT IS A WASTE OF TIME FOR ANYONE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA SINCE THEY DO NOTHING WITH THE INFORMATION YOU GIVE THEM. HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON ALL YOU JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS. *TR
