I brought in my car in to roger williams Chrysler in weatherford TX, 1102 washington dr, weatherford, TX 76086, for safety recall r06. The first appointment I dropped off the vehicle and received a rental, which was covered by fca under the recall. A couple of days pass as they order parts and perform the maintenance. I return to my vehicle once they stated the safety recall was completed. The airbag light was still on, they couldn't tell me what dtc was associated with the light so I checked it myself. The dtc's were airbag dtc 54 and 55 (side impact sensor internal fault). Safety recall r06 instructs the dealership to replace impact sensors should they have any dtc's on them. R06 also states, at least twice, not to replace the front impact sensors, which they boasted and were proud about replacing. They stated "the tech has done hundreds of these recalls and always replaces the front sensors". I explained why I felt the recall maintenance was not completed to the tech when I picked up my vehicle. He maintained his narrative that the recall was satisfied and if I wanted them to look into it further it would be a minimum of $300. 00. As weeks go by while I work with fca customer care and the dealership service manager I am forced to drive a vehicle with faulty airbags. After several weeks and numerous phone calls and arguing I convinced the dealership to take another look at the vehicle. Upon their second look they initially maintained that the recall was satisfied and that the front sensors were replaced. I pleaded with the service manager once more to check the dtc's and review the NHTSA/fca safety recall r06 instructions to replace the side impact sensors. They finally do, now the vehicles airbags are functioning and all is well. I just wonder, how many hundreds of wj's are out there that had this maintenance done incorrectly and either don't know or didn't push hard enough to have it done correctly. How was this even able to get to this point?.

When is this going to be forced on Chrysler fiat, I had a recall post card about this problem and that's 3 years ago !!!! they say they are working on getting the parts and as soon as it's available we will get another notice to fix, let me just say this is bs , Chrysler is basically buying their time so that the remaining vehicle for this recall to be junked or out live their years. The ntsb should be ashamed in not getting Chrysler to fix this !! for god sakes it's been 3 years and still nothing, you guys are worthless and don't enforce your own recalls !.

On February 22, 2018 we brought our 2002 Jeep cherokee in to merrick Chrysler on sunrise highway in wantagh because my wife was advised of a security concern over the airbag unexpectedly deploying (which has already happened to her in an unrelated incident). After scheduling and waiting a couple of months we brought the car in and after 3 hours I was told they didn't have the parts and to call back. My wife refused to even sit in the car until it was fixed. I called the dealer and they refused to even give me a time frame on receipt of the parts or repair of the recall. Within a few weeks thereafter I was at my wits end went to the dealership and purchased a newer Jeep cherokee the was guaranteed not to have any problems but to this day I haven't received even a call regarding the repair which has now cost my family an additional $26,000. 00, but it sure wasn't the way we wanted to get a new car. We have a gorgeous new Jeep that she drives and I also purchased another car because I do not want to get hit in the head by a faulty air bag. Please help us with our recall. Seriously, enough is enough already. We have a gorgeous Jeep in our driveway, registered and insured and undriveable, unless you can guarantee that if the airbag deploys we will have our own dealership if we live through the accident!! even more concerning is the disdain and importance with which we are treated. Buy a new car they drool at your feet but god so help the poor old schmuck who shows up with some old clunker that they won't make a dime off of. Please help us. Its just not fair.

On April 14, both of my front airbags deployed without reason while the car was idling stationary in drive with my foot on the brake. I was in the drivers seat and my two young boys were in the backseat. Fortunately, nobody was significantly injured. I suffered a bruised knuckle, and something flew in the back seat and hit my son in the head, but no injuries were significant enough to warrant a doctors visit. The damage to the interior of my car is significant. The steering wheel and dashboard will need to be replaced, the clock on my radio has stopped working, and my change drawer is broken. I called the recall hotline almost immediately after the event and they took my claim. My case number is 314 529 09. They instructed me that they would send out an inspector to come out and look over my vehicle. They also told me not to drive my vehicle in the meantime. I have a job and a family and I need a vehicle. It has been a week, and no inspector has called me. I have called the recall hotline 4 times since the initial event, and each time they put a note in my case number and promised an inspector would call. I need to know what to do next.

This recall was addressed a few years ago but I was told that the part required to remedy the condition was not available, and that I will be contacted with a follow-up recall notice when the remedy parts are made available.

At every stop there is a noise in the air bag compartmen.

Gresham, or Dodge, Jeep and ram dealer quoted 3 weeks for an appointment on a voluntary safety recall notice (r06 / NHTSA 15v-046) for my vehicle. If my airbag could deploy inadvertently you'd think they'd want to bring it in right away but, guess not. I guess the company would like more lawsuits because I'm assuming everyone else is having this issue in my area. Hopefully they pull their heads out their asses and make recall notices a priority or bring in some more technicians to make time for the recalls.

I was sitting at a red light and upon the light turning green I turned to the right and was about to merge into the left lane when both airbags exploded for no reason. No one was in the passenger seat at the time of the incident nor was there any other cars close by that I could have hit. The bag burst with such force that I saw stars for a second. Damage left me with a bruised cheek, cut arm and bruised hand along with a sore chest pain. The smell and smoke from the air bag filled my vehicle even though I could still see it was foggy. It happened right near my home so I was able to park the car. The sound was like someone was shooting a gun at my car. The result is Chrysler does have a recall on these airbags, they have my vehicle but are unable to find the parts to make repairs. The force was so hard that it damaged my whole dashboard. Chrysler dealer now has my car and they are telling me they will need to do an investigation on "their recalled airbags" and do not know when or if they will be able to get my car fixed nor are they willing to provide me with transportation during this time. I am a property manager and could loose my job over their negligence.

I have received several safety recall notices (r06 / NHTSA 15v-046) for this vehicle. I have called my Jeep dealership (garlitch north vernon, in) service department several times since Feb. 15, 2016 to get the needed repair. They never call back to schedule an appointment or explain what the problem is. This has been going on for over 10 months, not a reasonable time to make a safety recall repair. Can someone explain what the problem is ?.

Occupant restraint control recall - I just had this part replaced at a Jeep dealership. When I turned my vehicle on, I noticed that both the airbag and seatbelt lights are still on. I immediately went back into the dealership and spoke with the service employee and they stated that they were only authorized to replace the module and refused to tell me whether the problem was resolved or if my airbags are properly functioning. How can I know for sure if the problem has been resolved if the lights which indicated the problem are still on?.

Hello, I investigate into a traffic accident in france involving a Jeep Grand Cherokee year 2002. The reason of the crash is unknown. The car crossed the road without any reason and crashed into a wall (the driver died in the crash). I was informed that this vehicle could be affected by inadvertent airbag deployment . I would like to know if it's possible to know the reason of orc degradation that you describe in the report # rq14001 of may 29, 2014? how to detect the orc defect and how to see it? I would to know if the orc worked correctly or not and if the frontal airbag have been deployed before or after the crash. Thank you for your answers.
