RE: S33 / NHTSA 16V - 290 AND S43 I HAVE ATTENDED THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND THEY RETAINED THE JEEP FOR 4 DAYS REGARDING A RECALL. AFTER 4 DAYS I PICKED UP THE JEEP, BUT, THE CAME WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE PART IN QUESTION. I CAME UPSET, BECAUSE HOW THEY COORDINATED AN APPOINTMENT WITHOUT HAVING THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. AFTER THAT I HAVE CALLED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOLLOWING UP FOR THE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PART. THE RECALL NOTICE ALSO DESCRIBED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN OPEN RECALL (S43). THIS WAS ALSO A SURPRISE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN VERY DILIGENT DEALING WITH SAFETY ISSUES. THE DEALER IN PUERTO RICO IS CABRERA HRMNOS IN ARECIBO , PUERTO RICO. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT TO SOLVE THIS SAFETY SITUATION. REGARDS, PD: I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. *TR

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE VEHICLE GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE RECEPTACLE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS USING MULTIPLE TYPES OF NOZZLES.

DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT LATCH OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT LATCH ALSO OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT RELEASE WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN ROOF PULL SEAT BELT SLACK ALL THE WAY OUT AND STAND UP IN SEAT TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THEN HAVE TO HIT AND WORK WITH LATCH APPROXIMATELY 2-3 BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE. IF IN AN ACCIDENT NOT SURE IF SEATBELT LATCH WILL HOLD FORCES OR NOT LET YOU OUT OF A POSSIBLE BURNING CAR. ALSO FUEL BACKFLOWS FROM FILL INLET AT EVERY FILLIP IF I DO NOT STOP IT BEFORE FULL.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING SO MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND JEEP AND CHRYSLER IS SITTING ON THE THEIR BACKSIDES BLAMING THE DRIVERS? IF MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM, BUT NO THEY DEALERS AND THE COMPANY CONTINUE TO DISREGARD IT FORCING OWNERS TO SPEND MORE AND MORE MONEY. I REFUSE TO SPEND MONEY TO BAND-AID THE ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS IT LEAVES THE DRIVER SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE FOR THAT SAME REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD IT, THE DATE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED WAS JUST THE LAST TIME . IF ANYONE IS EVEN LISTENING TO THE OWNERS OR TRYING TO HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
