I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY ADAM SAMUALS CHRYSLER IN ARANSAS PASS, TEXAS, THAT THE PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE?????? SO, I "DID" HAVE THE "REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT" DONE ALREADY. AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS UNAVAILABLE ON THE 2003 JEEP I HAVE. ABSURD! I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY DRIVER SEAT ASSEMBLY. I CANNOT MAKE THE BACK OF MY SEAT GO UP OR DOWN, WHICH, DEPENDING ON WHO DRIVES THE JEEP, IS NOW A PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT ASSEMBLY, WITH LABOR, IS ABOUT $500.00! ABSURD! CAN YOU HELP ME? I HAVE TAKEN SUCH EXCELLENT CARE OF MY JEEP SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 2005, USED, AT DON JOHNSON MOTORS IN BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. I HAVE REPLACE MOST SMALL PARTS WHEN NEEDED AND HAVE MY OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3,000 MILES. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEWER VEHICLE AT THIS, OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR THAT MATTER EITHER. I MUST KEEP WHAT I HAVE IN EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM. *TR

THERE ARE 12 ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE. I WANT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SOME RECALLS ARE "INCOMPLETE" AND CANNOT BE REMEDIED RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH JEEP DEALERSHIPS - THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY WERE UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EITHER NOT DOING THE WORK THEY SAID THEY DID OR BREAKING SOMETHING ON MY JEEP AND CHARGING ME FOR IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY VEHICLE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT EITHER HAS NO RECALLS OR ONE THAT HAS PASSED COMPLIANCE. NO ACCIDENT YET. DO I REALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT? 12 RECALLS? *TR
