After having service done to the fuel tank under a recall on this vehicle, I now get error code 0544, large exhaust gas leak, . I had service done to the hoses, and two were found damaged near the tank, , I replaced the fuel cap, and finally replaced the computer. But the light continues to come on. I have not found a satisfactory answer, but it must be related to work done by the jeep dealer.

I received a notification of the defect in the occupant restraint control module a couple of years ago and every time that I called the dealer, they advised that they did not have the replacement parts. I called them today and they tell me on 3/25/15 that they now have the parts but cannot repair the vehicle until 8/7/15. Also - I need to have the "trailer hitch" inspected and likely replaced to avoid fuel leakage if there were a rear-end accident. This is completely unacceptable. What is the point of "recalling" vehicles when they cannot be repaired in a timely fashion? So I should just feel glad that I have a reason to sue someone if a family member is terribly injured or dies in a crash in the interim couple of years. Please provide me with an acceptable resolution to this problem. I expect some sort of an answer!

Complaint against chrysler group. Recall n46/the federal safety agency 13v‑252: re: "the fuel tank on your vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire." I have called chrysler group 1 x in august 2014 (beginning of recall), november, january and 02/16/15. They have failed to get my parts to the local dealer in a timely manner, therefore putting me at risk of a rear end collision ignition of flames. I need these parts sent to my local dealer immediately. My local dealer is only getting parts at the rate of 5 pieces per week, to fix the more than hundreds of thousands of customers. That is chryslers fault. Not the dealers. I waited to speak w/chrysler, on the phone for 1 hour & 25 minutes on 02/16/15, trying to get this resolved. It was the customer service dept, for this particular recall. I never got to speak w/a live person. This is unacceptable. I need my parts sent to my local dealer immediately. ...updated 05/14/15 *bf the consumer stated the vehicle was repaired. Updated 05/28/15*jb

Chrysler of york, pa sent me a safety recall notice almost 2 years ago. Every time I call the dealership, the manager states that the part is on order and not in yet. Seriously, after 2 years. I also tried the 1-800 number at the chrysler group recall assistance center and have no success with hang ups and repeated voicemails. The recall states that that chrysler is suppose install an original equipment manufacturer (oem) trailer hitch to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. I travel often, and frequently to areas where inclement weather is the norm. I consider the recall a very serious matter that while not corrected, may cause serious damage/injury. I pray that I never experience a crash, but I would hate to see something happen to me or others injured due to the possiblity of a fuel leakage if there was a impact to my vehicle. I would really appreciate some immediate, prompt and courteous assistance in having this problem resolved. Chrysler dodge jeep dealer has no problem overcharging 4 times the costs for labor and parts and responding very quickly when they are making money from consumers, and I would like to see them utilize that same attentiveness when a situation as such arises where there is no money to be squeezed from their customer, but rather they be accountable, step up to the plate and fix what is wrong. I can be reached at [xxx] which is the home number and email is [xxx]. My cell is [xxx]. Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Good afternoon, I received a rear structure reinforcement letter from chrysler and the national traffic safety administration stating that certain 2002-2007 model year jeep liberty vehicles contain defect related to motor vehicle safety. Problem: the fuel tank on vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. What dealer will do: chrysler intends to inspect your vehicle and install an oem trailer hitch where appropriate, free of charge (parts and labor) to better manage crash forces in low-speed impact I called the dealer and it turns out they do not have the parts to fix the problem, and chrysler is responsible for sending them the parts. They said I would receive another letter once they had received the parts but I never received a letter/call back. I received the recall letter a few months ago and yet have not received a call and just about forgot about until my husband asked about it. I am almost 8 months pregnant and quite worried driving the car but I need it. I hope you can help me get this resolved as soon as possible because in 2 weeks I'm getting my future child's carseat installed and would like this other safety problem to be solved. Thank you in advance for your help and attention

What you must do to ensure your safety: once you receive your follow up notice in the mail, simply contact dealer right away to schedule a service appointment. We have never received a follow up notice in the mail. I took it upon myself to call the dealer and they were not helpful. They said they were booked with appointments but would give me a call back to schedule a future appointment. I never received a call back. I called again and was left on hold for over twenty minutes. I called again, left a message with customer service and never received a call back. Regarding an individuals safety, it seems it is not of importance to the local chrysler, jeep dealer. I received the recall letter a few months ago and yet have not received a call and just about forgot about until my husband asked about it. I have given up on contacting the dealer and hence the complaint letter to you. I am six months pregnant and this should be the least of my concerns but now I have to worry about this along with my pregnancy. Please advise for I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible.

You send me a important safety recall notice...twice now concerning the fuel tank on your vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. I have called lithia chrysler jeep dodge of tri-cities to get the new trailer hitch put on. They tell me that they have no part number and can not help me. So what is the deal here?

I just recently bought a car on june 13, 2013 for $5,404.05 from seattle auto mart, 12801 aurora ave. N., seattle, wa 98133. I bought the car "as is" with no warranty. It was the first car I have ever purchased in my life. I was given a 60 day verbal agreement that if anything broke down, they would fix. It. My loan was through united finance company, p.o. Box 862, auburn, wa 98071. A vehicle inspection was done on the car my the dealership. After I purchased the car, I left for california because my dad was very sick. I was gone for about two weeks. When I came back from california, the second day I got back, I drove it a few blocks from my house, and the car stopped on me at a stop sign! It started smoking from the back and from under the hood and it wouldn't start. I had it towed for the night. I then called seattle auto mart, where I got the car from and they had their people to come and pick it up. I told them what happened and that I just wanted it fixed. Then they called to tell me that the problem with the car was that the engine blew and that I would have to come out the pocket to help pay for the repairs or they could get used parts and I would pay nothing. I told them to go ahead and fix the car with the used parts (even though I should have gotten new parts). I didn't make a payment until the car was fixed. Then so I decided to cut my losses since they were not willing to help me and I gave the car back. A month later, I received a recall notice in the mail from the chrysler group llc stating that the vehicle has a small fuel leak and could result in a fire. On saturday april 5, 2014 I received another recall notice ! Overall something should be done! I want a new car or to be compensated for the hardship I went through only having the car for less than 30 days! The dealership, seattle auto mart should not have sold me that car!
