I took my vehicle into larson Jeep Dodge in puyallup, wa to have two recalls preformed. One of the open recall campaigns are recall f25. This recall involves replacing the electric cooling fan. If not replaced it could separate causing damage to the radiator, engine, or bodily injury. I picked up my vehicle on the day that it was in the service department. I signed and was giving a repair order number jecs380694 dated 2/25/2016. The invoice states the recall was preformed and the cooling fans were replaced as directed by the recall campaign. On the drive back to my residence I noted a rattle coming from the front of my vehicle with increased speed or when driving over bumps. When I returned to my residence I opened the hood to find out what was causing the rattle. I noticed none of the upper grill bolts were installed and the grill was loose. I then inspected the lower skid plate of the vehicle and noticed it was loose and unfastened as well. I then inspected the cooling fan blades and found they had not been replaced as directed by the recall or as stated on the repair order. I have attached a copy of the repair order and pictures of the unrepaired vehicle. I have opened a case with daimler Chrysler, case #28814838. I did return back to larson Dodge 2/26/2016 and requested the hardware back to fasten my grill and skid plate. The service manager and shop foreman inspected my vehicle at that time. They inspected, determined, and admitted the recall was not preformed. I informed them I would be returning home and contacting the vehicles manufacturer.

I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2005 as a used vehicle with no know problems on my car fax report. Has only had one other owner. This is now the 4th time I have had to have the cooling fan relay replaced! im sick of this and have heard from auto shops and dealers that this is a very common problem. . . . Jeep should do something about this. It seems to go out about every 6 months. I can't keep affording this. It is ridiculous. You have to remove the whole front end to get to the relay to replace it and that in labor costs can cost a fortune on its own for a $90. 00 piece to be replaced. My truck has now over heated 4 times because of this little fuse failing. Due to the over heating I have had to replace the water pump 2 times. I love Jeeps but not enough for it to keep nickel and diming me to death. This problem needs to get resolved.
