2014 Jeep Patriot seat belts complaints

Takata recall I took my 2014 jeep patriot into my local jeep dealer for repair of the s61 takata airbag recall. While the vehicle was in the shop being repaired, the service manager informed me the newly installed part malfunctioned and thought the car had rolled over, and deployed all airbags in the car. This destroyed the interior of the car, including the roof, seats, front console, steering wheel, and seat belts. The manager mentioned they would fix the damage. However, the car was submitted for the repair on april 12, 2018, and as of may 14, 2018 they have not removed the old airbags, or installed any new airbags. This is a serious safety concern. If the newly installed part used to fix the recall had malfunctioned while the vehicle was in use, it could have been a fatal accident. There is no way to tell if and when the part was going to malfunction. I now have my concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle, the reliability of the recalled part, and the safety of any newly installed takata airbags. There is professional negligence on the part of the jeep service center for not repairing their error for greater than 5 weeks after the damaged occurred, for reducing the value of my car, and for using faulty equipment in their repair. There is also professional negligence on the part of the takata airbag company for providing a faulty airbag and faulty repair part for the s61 recall. This negligence could have been fatal.
On the morning of 4/1/18 I was involved in a car accident when my car lost control and hit a tree going between 20-30mph. It was a head on collision where my air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not tense during or after the collision. As such, I received a large laceration to my forehead when it hit the steering wheel. The accident occurred when I was making a slight left through an intersection near a residential area and the road was slick from a slight rain that was happening. I had skidded out through the intersection and before I knew what was happening I was colliding with the tree in front of me. There were no other parties involved.
The occupant restraint controller must be replaced.-I have not been notified to have this replaced on my vehicle yet!! I call jeep and apparently the recall is incomplete?! How come jeep is not taking care of this. I am concerned for those who ride in this car. What do I do? I was assured when I bought the jeep ~1yr ago from the dealer that the recall would be handled within a few months.
Recall incomplete for more than 1 year. The federal safety agency recall number: 16v‑668 recall date: september 13, 2016 manufacturer recall number: s61 summary: 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.

Leslie, a service advisor at absher arnold motors located in marion, illinois refused to perform a safety recall repair on my 2014 jeep patriot. She stated they could not get the part and that the part was being 'rationed out.' this went on over a period of about three weeks. Upon contacting another area dealership (weeks in west frankfort) they had the part in two days and performed the recall repair the next day. I feel this matter should be looked into so that others aren't provided with this type of service and false information. Thank you.
There is recall to replace the occupant restrain controller on my car however when I call the dealer to schedule an appointment and get it replaced I was told that chrysler has put a hold on the measure as a solution because replacing the part may do more damage than it already does and that for now they were just taking names down and will call back once the company has a better solution. I however have noticed that sometimes that pressure to hold the seat belt in does not stay and tensioner opens randomly.

I received this recall notice in late oct/nov 2016. The day I received it, I called the number listed and was put on a waiting list to let me know when the part was available. I received another recall notice the week of 8/21/17 for the exact same reason. I called my jeep dealership and told them about the recall notice a scheduled an appointment. This morning I go to drop off my jeep and they tell me that they do not have the part and that they would put me on a list. This recall is just shy of a year old now. I feel that this should have been fixed by now. No one has ever called me about this part becoming available.

Takata recall - the federal safety agency recall #16v‑668 - the recall date on this was 9/13/16 and they are still not offering a remedy. One year is way too long to wait for a safety recall involving seatbelts and airbags.

It has been 11 months since this recall. I contacted jeep - there still isn't a fix. Air bags & seat belts that do not function properly are a major safety issue. My daughter is a new driver & I'm scared to let her drive. I bought this car for safety & it is not safe. I feel like there is something wrong with the suspension - it's now rattling under the front tire.
Safety recall issued september 13, 2016 (fca recall #s61 | the federal safety agency recall #16v‑668). As of july 27, 2017 there is no fix available.
I have taken the jeep back to the dealer 3 time to have the recall repaired. Each time I was told there is no salutation to the recall as of yet. I think they should replace this jeep with an up graded jeep as soon as possible or buy it back. The set belt become lock and chokes you going down the road and you have to release the belt and re set it so you are not being choked.

Received a recall notice about faulty airbag/seatbelt pretensioner. Dealership says they have no fix yet but it's a big deal to me because this affects safety devices and potentially my family's safety.
