RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT R06, WHICH IS A RECALL FIXING THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2015, ALMOST 6 MONTHS AGO, AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE YET. I FEEL THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME, AND SHOULD'VE HAD A SOLUTION BY NOW, OR AT THE VERY LEAST JEEP CONTACTING ME AGAIN, AND SAYING "I KNOW WE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE OUTSTANDING RECALL, AND WE APOLOGIZE HOWEVER WE ARE WORKING ON THE SITUATION". IF THIS WAS DONE, AT LEAST I'D KNOW THERE STILL TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE IT, INSTEAD OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP.

UNABLE TO COMPLETE RECALL, INCLUDING M35 ORC FILTER CIRCUT, N46 TRAILER HITCH, AND R06 ORC MODULE, DUE TO "EXCESSIVE CORROSION", ON 7/22/2015 AT VICTORY DEALERSHIP IN ROME, N.Y. THEY SUGGESTED I BRING MY JEEP TO A FABRICATION SHOP TO REPAIR, WHICH I DID TODAY, 7/29/2015. CNY PRECISION WELDING AND CUSTOM FABRICATION, LOCATED IN ROME, N.Y., REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR $350, BUT THEY WONDERED WHY THE HITCH COULDN'T HAVE BEEN INSTALLED PREVIOUSLY. I WILL BRING THE JEEP BACK TO VICTORY AS SOON AS I CAN GET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH NO SAFE CAR TO DRIVE! WHY COULDN'T THEY FIX THE OTHER RECALL ISSUES? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE YET. WHAT IS REALLY UPSETTING IS A QUOTE I FOUND FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, "BUT UNDER FEDERAL REGULATIONS, AUTOMAKERS UNDERTAKING A RECALL CANNOT OPT TO REPAIR SOME OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND NOT OTHERS, SAID ALLAN KAM, WHO WORKED FOR THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AGENCY FROM 1975 TO 2000. THEY CAN'T BE SELECTIVE AND SAY, "IF THEY ARE RUSTY, THEY DON'T GET THE REMEDY," MR. KAM SAID IN A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW, "IF YOU CAN'T REPAIR IT, YOU REPLACE IT OR BUY IT BACK." IS ANY PART OF THE PREVIOUS QUOTE TRUE? I REALLY NEED TO GET SOME CLEAR DIRECTION FROM THE FIAT CHRYSLER COMPANY BEFORE I BORROW MORE MONEY TO FIX AN UNFIXABLE CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS MESS. I'M TAKING AN EMOTIONAL BEATING HERE. I DON'T EVEN WANT MY CHILD IN A CAR THAT CAN HAVE AN AIRBAG GO OFF AT ANY TIME OR AA GAS TANK EXPLODE! THIS IS JUST TERRIFYING.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, NOW I AM WORRIED AS TO WEATHER OR NOT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS SAFE OR IF THEY EVEN WORK,,THERE IS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR THIS PROBLEM,, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE MODULE MANUFACTURED YET. GUESS I WILL GO TO JEEP GARAGE TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
