general problems of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler

December 19th, 2022 gentlemen/ladies: this vehicle has been operated over five (5) of its sixteen (16) years in east and west texas, in an extremely high heat and high humidity environment. It has been also in central illinois for about 9 years in a similar environment, and it is known to have the takata air bag initiator units that are prone to an over 50% dangerous explosion failure rate when actuated. Given that this vehicle is soon to be exported to an equally high heat and humidity environment in service, may I ask why haven't you required Chrysler/Jeep to recall and repair the units in question? given that there are no doubt several million Jeep Wranglers and Wrangler unlimiteds with these takata units in them, it is an unconscionable mistake to allow them to continue in daily service in an unrepaired or updated condition. When, not if these units fail, the results can result in serious injuries and deaths.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v322000 (air bags); however, the parts for the recall were not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Unrecalled, unreplaced takata air bags. This particular Jeep has been operated in high temperature/high humidity conditions and which was known to the manufacturers to cause potentially fatal injuries to the driver and front seat passenger. The truck was built by daimler Chrysler (2006), and neither they, nor the successor companies fiat/Chrysler and stellantis have made no efforts whatsoever to contact the owners (I am the original owner from day 1) to effect repair or replacement of the defective air bags and initiator units. The unit was extensively operated in the paris , texas area for 2-1/2 years in extremely high humidity/hot temperatures in normal service. They should be considered compromised by your own tests done in the 2006-2012 period.
