In September of 2016 Jeep discovered a serious, possibly fatal risk potential associated with a sensor involved in restraining seat belts and deploying air bags "under certain impact conditions". As an owner, I was not apprised of this risk until June 20, 2017. Then, when I inquired about the availability of a repair to correct this lemon I was "informed", "advised" there was no repair available and such repair(s) may not be available for six months. I was given a vague estimate, and vague "assurance" I would be apprised of repair availability when ready. I asked, "should I bee driving this flaw?" they had no specific guidance. Seriously? accordinfly, I am invoking "lemon law" and demanding full liquidation of my existing auto loan at Jeep's expense. If they do not oblige, I shall seek civil suit damages by jury trial for added emotional pain and suffering coupled with their failure to fully-disclose potential fatal flaw for over six months to Jeep owners. I expect the NHTSA to manage this claim. Period. What a mess. What country is this? is anyone watching and protecting consumers? I expect the NHTSA to force Jeep to immediately undertake a full buyback program no later than July 1, 2017. Period.
