Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Two problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 03/21/2017

Currently a recall for a sensor of the airbags. I installed mopar led headlights. They say the headlights get destroyed during the fix and they put stock headlights back in, not what I currently have. They are factory made mopar headlights that cost approx $950. 00. I don't want to get this recall done because I don't think I should lose out on that much money. Chrysler designed these headlights so that can only be put in once. They should suffer the consequences of that design by replacing them for a safety recall, not have me lose out on the money I spent making my vehicle safer.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2016

Our Jeep has a recall for a sensor wire in the front area of the vehicle. I dropped the Jeep at the dealership (mall of georgia chrystler Jeep in buford GA) and received a shuttle ride home. I was called a few hours later by my advisor chris and told that I needed to remove the winch, winch plate, light bar, and lights on the front bumper. The tech needs to remove grill and cannot with this equipment in the way. They offered to remove all the equipment for me for $250. I told the advisor (chris) that the letter received in the mail is adamant that this is to be done at no cost to the owner. He told me that it did not include custom equipment. I called fca, as my letter explained I should do if the dealer was not resolving my issue. I explained the situation as I have above. The fca agent (I do not have her name, but gave them my info) first indicated to me that there should not be any charges for recall repairs, so she called the dealer, talked to chris, and came back to my line telling me exactly what chris had told me that a charge would be expected to remove the custom equipment so they can repair this vehicle. Should there ever be a reason for charging a customer for a recall repair, in a safety recall situation such as this?.
