Few month ago, I received a paper from the manufacturer saying that the car was on recall. I brought the car to the car dealer and they said that there was a problem with the battery. They changed the battery for a new one. Later on, I received a letter from the Jeep saying that they used my factory limit warranty to replace the battery. And saying that next time if I see a form like this it could be a real bill. Around 2 months and a half after, The light of the battery starts flashing and a message appeared on the dashboard saying that I had to park the car immediately because it could stop at anytime automatically. I had to pull over and call a tow truck. We dropped the car to the car dealer. It was on a Sunday. Then, I had my car ready to pick up 5 days later, on the Friday. They told me that they had to change the alternator. I took my car and it seemed all fine. Four days later, the light of the passenger seat belt start flashing and the beep sound started and wouldn't stop. The message was for the passenger to put his seat belt on. The thing is that there was no passenger. I had my hand bag on the passenger seat and I put it away. I turned off the engine. Waiting for 10 minutes and turned on the engine again. Again, the sound went on for the seat belt of the passenger. I turned off the engine again and waited another 10 minutes. This time when I turned on the engine, a message appeared saying that the emergency contact were not available. And another message, that there was something going with the air bag. At this point, I felt very uncomfortable driving the car. I had to drive the car very slow hoping the airbag would not go off. I parked my car in my garage. I called Jeep the day after since it was already closed and they told me to bring the car the week after since they were fully booked with repairs. I could do this as I was traveling to Europe for few weeks. I will be back to LA on the 10 of august and hope to find a solution. Thank you.
