We keep getting recall notices on the air bags on our Jeep. However, every time we take it to the dealer for repair we are told they do not have the parts to fix it. They tell us they will call when parts and solution is available. We have taken notices in to them 3 times and it is still not fixed as they say they do not have parts. Are we being played by a dealer who does not want to fix this? or are there really no parts to fix this issue?.

Takata recall lewis Chrysler/Jeep of fayetteville, arkansas returned the Jeep to me with no receipt and said the work was done. The Jeep was scheduled at 9am on Feb. 23. . At 12:30pm they called and said it had not been started yet. At 1:30 they called saying it was done. The gave me the key and that was it. I went home and looked at my Toyota receipt for a similar recall. It was very detailed. I returned the next morning and asked for a receipt. They gave me one with no details. I showed the Toyota receipt and asked for the same information. First they said that Chrysler/Jeep never gives detailed receipts. After I insisted, 10 minutes passed while they were back in the office. They came out and said the work had not been done because a special part was needed that they did not have. They had sent me home thinking the work had been completed. If I had not returned for the receipt I would have never known the difference. Then and only then did the manager apologize and tried to blame the technician for not telling him. It was suspicious from the start, with no receipt issued and going from not even in the garage yet to being done in under an hour.

This is a complaint about fca's recall implementation. Fca simply does not get parts out to dealers to get the repairs done. I have been wanting to get the recall work completed on the car but the dealers do not have any parts to do the repairs. All the notices do not matter if the manufacturers do not get parts out to complete repairs. Fine them if they don't get parts out to do the repairs!!!!.

57 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2015

I have attempted to submit my 2003 Jeep Liberty for recall repairs relating to recall n46 and r06 beginning more than a year ago to my two nearest Jeep dealerships; tate Jeep in frederick and century Jeep in mt. Airy, maryland. When I inquire that I have received notices by mail instructing for recall repairs I am being ignored for service. Century Jeep placed me on a call-back list, but I was never contacted. When I called after 4-5 months I was told I am still on the waiting list. A year has gone by with no further contact. When I inquired of tate Jeep about recall repairs they will not respond back to me. I fought with century Jeep for about a year to have my airbag recall addressed. Frankly, I am tired of begging and pleading with my local Jeep dealerships to have recall work performed. I have been afraid every day I drive my Liberty of having the air bag explode in my face or my gas tank exploding from a rear end collision. Can you help prompt my dealerships to address these outstanding recalls. I continue to receive recall notices on a periodic basis informing me that my recalls have not been repaired, but the dealerships refuse to do anything. Century Jeep tells me that they do not have the recall repair parts in stock. They tell me that they only get a couple each month from Chrysler. How much longer do I have to drive this death trap? I appreciate any help you can provide me. Thank you, mark fink frederick, MD.
