"takata recall" to be truthfully honest nothing about this jeep is safe I didn't know that I could put in a recall for this jeep because I thought it was too old and too late anyway sensors are horrible no turning signals , my belt assembly breaks a part while driving radiator gets really hot to the point of smoking even when my coolant is full I have sun roof problems because water leaks through it and floods the driver and passenger side trunk will not open my suspension is in great need of help it doesn't even bounce , alot of safety problems but like I said didn't know I could for file for a recall so I'm hoping that this can get recalled.

My complaint involving my vehicle and its now defected parts or unsafe status to operate is due to mechanical workmanship. I purchased my vehicle 3 years ago. Never had major problems with it and maintained it well and regular tune-ups. I invested in buying all parts needed as time well ware and tare. Im not too familiar with auto parts or work but as im putting more money into "new parts" my car seems to slowly continue to fail. All I know is I relied on certain mechanics to improve the condition of my car. I had a operable vehicle until I drove into this auto shop and left having to tow it out. I simply asked to change front brake pads, roters, and ignition switch (electrical part). Im told to purchase other parts that include screws, steering column, and key locksmith/ fees. Nothing got resolved and electrical everything stops working. Jeeps front driver tire stays on a flat and to make matters worse a chrysler dealership is the only place that can fix this. The mechanic spoke to the dealership and finally seemed to have it figured out. $50 was the price I was told I would be left with. After running test and diagnostics, prices changed and more work was needed. Its been a little over 2 months since ive been without. Now im told I need to pay in full $1500 before they will work on my vehicle. I havent been offered a rental muchless been satisfied with the work done. I feel like my car has been stripped of paid parts. Ive looked online for advice and help as what I should do but no action has been done. I would appreciate and greatly be thankful for someone to look into the safety and work performed to my jeep. As for the recalls the service tech named off several that he stated were taken care of. To my knowledge ive never been aware of any.

I would have put igniotion/key as the affected parts, but that's not an option. So I'm driving down the road, and all of sudden it just stops running. Literally on southfield road. Think it was just a fluke I continued to try and drive it. Because the first time it started right back up. But now, it turns off at a light, during a turn, going 25mph, 45mph... Basically whenever it feels like. I have a son that is a permit only driver, and can't allow him for safety reasons to be driving this vehicle. I went to the mechanic and this is what I was told, there is a part in the ignition system that sends a signal to the chip in the key. When that stops sending the signal the vehicle turns off. Great anti-theft idea! It's so dangerous. Mechanic says the part is $100+ and then the original keys 'may not' reprogram, which means an extra $60 per key, plus programming. There is a reason the dealer keeps it in stock, gotta know it fails. This part should be recalled before someone gets hurt because the vehicle decided to stop running on the expressway.

Just another recall on the grand cherokee. Http://www.dailyfinance.com/2014/10/16/chrysler-alternator-mirror-recalls/?icid=maing-grid7%7chtmlws-main-bb%7cdl38%7csec1_lnk3%26plid%3d546817 "published in the daily finance". On september 8, 2014 I wrote to you regarding out 1999 jeep grand cherokee and all the problems we have been having since 2013. Please see the original complaint. Your confirmation number (odi number) is: 10631491 now once again there are more recalls, and I/we still own our 1999. I still do believe that chrysler is responsible for the problems with the 1999. Just because the jeep is a 1999, does not mean that chrysler should not be held responsible for the fixing of this car. We just want it fixed, to be safe to drive. I still feel they should carry the burden of this. Not the consumer.
