The inspection recall on my 1996 jeep grand cherokee did nothing to fix the problem with PCM and catalytic converter specified in the defective issue within the recalls issued. This harms the driver, pedestrians, other passengers and motorists. The tech where I went to have recall work performed ordered parts (see attachment), but nothing was installed on my vehicle. Only "inspected." the tech was told of detailed poor performance and symptoms of a bad PCM. Such as shifting, stalling, fuel economy & hard to start. The jeep is not operating optimally & this could mean there are. Other problems between different systems. All of these are indications of a faulty PCM. As well as the ABS light being on the dashboard. The PCM is a "critical" system & needs to be replaced. I'm requesting that you fix this problem for free, as it is defective and could mingle with other systems and cause a complete vehicle break down. Or refund the cost to me in full, including labor charges, if I replace/repair myself. If this defective part is not fixed, it could result in property damage, in which cdj would be liable for. Please advise as to how you can help enforce the manufacture to fully repair these defective parts & remedy this problem on fixing the faulty PCM & catalytic converter within a recall and possibly the ABS system and transmission. The vehicle stalls on highway, in park, on the street, when stopped and then it stalls out and is hard to start. It also has not been able to go in reverse ( back up). Which mean it's not getting proper lubrication. Also, the alarm goes off when using key to gain access. Unhooking battery to reset does not help.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, or wisconsin, and the district of columbia. The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
- Risk
- The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
