1 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2014

Received a recall notice saying fuel tank has chance of fuel leak during rear end collision and çhrysler would install a trailer hitch. They stated that the parts required for this program "are currently not available" and they would contact me by mail with a follow-up notice. It has been months and I have still not received any follow-up notice and would like to know the status of this recall.

2 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2013

Ignition switch failed without warning while transporting disabled person. Again!!!!! this is the 2nd time this same part has failed on this vehicle - it is a tiny, small "pot metal"/nylon part that is a weak link in this supposedly otherwise sturdy rig, and the only fix after all this time of repeated failures is to replace the entire steering column, rather than only the offending part, again. This year, the part lasted for far less time than the original part - for only 4 years and 48,000 mi. It is a dangerous situation when a careful and conscientious driver is unable to rely on a vehicle used to transport a wheelchair-bound person. This Jeep is a one-owner vehicle and is regularly maintained and cared for by the dealership and other authorized service centers. (in 2009, it took months to get the part) this issue should be considered for recall. The thing is not going to explode and kill someone, but leaving occupants vulnerable (with no warning) is still a serious security issue.

3 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2013

As I press the unlock button on my remote the door remains locked. I needed to have the door opened to change the taillights, but the door couldn't open so I took it to the dealer since I only owned the truck for a year. They said it would cost me about $200. 00 to open the door and change the bulb, . Because the door actuator was busted. I couldn't afford that because the bulb only cost me $5. 99. I only wanted the door open to change the taillight myself. Well I returned home only to tell my neighbor the problem, he took off the panel and un locked the door changed the bulb in 10 minutes and told me the problem is the plastic hinge not the actuator , he rigged a string so that I can unlock the door until I can find the part, but no one sells the part. It is a small latch that unlocks the door. Very simple. The best part is neighbor fixed it for now for free!!.

4 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2013

January 8, 2013 good morning. It was very annoying when my passenger's front window dropped inside the door. It was and wasn't okay when the problem first arose. I was very concerned. I immediately took it to my dad to see what he knew about it or could do. He went to the pick and pull junkyard and got a plastic replacement window to hold me over until I could get if fixed, which I did about 3 weeks after the problem occurred. The problem occurred on January 8, 2013 and I got it fixed on January 29th, only for the opposite front drivers window to do the exact same thing two days after I got it out the shop. Well this time, my dad placed a 2 by 4 to hold it in place. And now only about 2 months later March 28, 2013 my back passenger window has suffered the same faith. Back on February 5, 2013 I took my car into the Chrysler dealer because they contacted me about a recall, and at this time I explained my incident to them; they stated they had maybe a few concerns about the window regulator, but that it wasn't enough to raise an eyebrow about. I understand why that would not be an eyebrow raiser. In less than 3 months, I have had 3 of my car window to just drop inside the door of my vehicle and the dealer doesn't think that this is call for a recall, or send out notices to Jeep dealer and work on the responses received to then determine if this is a major issue or not? very costly, and inconvenient especially when the incidents occur at different times. I would like to get some feed back, answers, shares on this matter, anybody? I have also been browsing the internet to find out if anyone else has experienced what I have, to see what their outcome was. Stressed out consumer. . .
