Important safety recall s61/the federal safety agency 16v‑668 notice was received from fca on 11/15/2016. As of 6/16/2017, the recall status is: incomplete but repair parts are not available. It does not seem reasonable that an important safety defect has gone so long without a fix by the company. The description of the risk is: safety defect/non compliance description and safety risk: the vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash. Repair description: the occupant restraint controller must be replaced. Fca needs to either provide fixes very soon, or replace the vehicles.

I received a recall notice and went to the website to sign up for notification when parts are available. It's been 8 months or so since the notice and still no repair. How long will this be allowed to go on? I wanted to give this car to my 16-year-old son but can't due to this issue.

Someone in a 3/4 ton work van ran through a stop light and plowed in to the right passenger front / side of my jeep while I was making a left hand turn we were on the city streets.. The impact was so great that while making the left turn and being hit so hard my wife and I went through a pizza shop head on. None of the 8 air bags in my jeep went off. There is a recall for the jeeps air bags for which I did get a hold of the dealership and they told me that the recall is still open and no they do not have a fix at this time. Now reading the jeeps factory user guide the air bags should have gone off. The jeep does have seat-mounted side air bags and from reading the factory user guide it states that this vehicle may be equipped with supplemental seat-mounted side air bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. If the air bags would have gone off my wife wouldn't have got so hurt. She now has a right cervical strain, lumbar contusion, and a right clavicle fracture. Also with the head on collision into the building the front air bags should have gone off they did not.

S61 recall in effect since september 2016 (9 months). No remedy has been issued at this point. I have been in a rental for 15 weeks and dealing with out of pocket costs while I wait on reimbursement. This has become a huge hassle with no end in sight. I refuse to drive this recalled vehicle without any guarantee that I have working safety devices protecting my family and I. Jeep needs to step up and take these vehicles back. I am unable to trade it in on anything other than a jeep due to the recall. They have not offered any type of replacement at this point, other than the hassle of a long term rental that I have to pay for up front and wait on reimbursement.
I received notification last year about a recall & a remedy still hasn't been offered. My daughter is now sometimes drives my car and I am terrified. I keep being told a solution will be here next month, but that doesn't happen.

Received notice in september of 2016 that the occupant restraint controller was faulty and would result in a loss of airbag or seatbelt pretensioner in the event of a crash. I have contacted fca through their website as well as called my local jeep dealer (jim click auto mall) and are told only that there are no parts available. A year and no parts is not fixing a problem that could lead to death in a "timely manner".
Recall date was 9/13/16. Now, exactly 8 months later, repair parts are still not availale!
Hit a deer with this car & air bags did not deploy!!!!!!!!!! No remedy for this recall!!!!! Our other car is under this same recall!!!!!!!

Recall incomplete, remedy still not yet available.he vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires.
Unreasonable amount of time to wait for repair parts (8 months so far) and refusal to provide loaner or rental vehicle.
I received a safety recall notice in september 2016 but was told that nothing could be done because "repair parts not available." now, 8 months later, parts are still "unavailable" and I am driving a vehicle whose airbag and/or seat belts may not work in an accident, causing myself and my passengers serious injury. How can this possibly be permitted?

Several months ago I received a recall notice on my vehicle which was made in 2014. Here it is 2017 and there still is no repair available. This is a safety recall. What is taking so long? Recall s61/ the federal safety agency 16v‑668. It should not take this long to correct a safety issue.
I called my dealership to have an unrelated issue looked at and was notified about the possible failure of my seat belts and air bags. I have not received any other notification about this matter. I was told the parts for the recall may not be available until june/july of this year. I will risk the safety of myself and my family, including a teen driver, if I continue to operate this car before the repair can be made.
I received a recall letter over 2 months ago and still there are no updates on when they will be fixing the problem. Why is an airbag and seatbelt issue taking so long to take care of. This is a safety issue.
There is no remedy to this recall and its rediculous. We are forced to drive a vehicle that is not safe. We cant even trade it in because the dealership wont take it. Also our bodily injury insurance for this jeep is five times what it used to cost. We financed this jeep, it is unbelieveable that we have to drive a vehicle that could potentionally hurt us worse if we were in a crash. Something needs to done immediately.
I never received a notice of this recall and I was going to trade my vehicle in and they told me that they cant give as much for it cause it had a recall so I feel that this is unsafe for my family and now I wont get what its worth so if I want to trade it in I will have negative equity which I think is unfair I shouldnt have to pay thousands of dollars more to get my car down to where I wont have negative equity they should be able to fix this problem but this has been this way since 9/16/2016
