I've called my local jeep dealership about these open recalls for over a year numerous times they tell me they will call when parts are in. No calls et. This is my only car to drive they no that. Can't believe this!
Notified during july 2019 of 2 recalls (s43 and s33). On 7/12/2019 s43 was completed. S33 parts were ordered. The first eta was in september. That was canceled due to lack of parts. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer and to "all star dodge chrysler jeep ram" but there is still no date and was told there is a large back order list and no known date as to when the part will be available. The recall notice said "it is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers." I have taken these steps. Chrysler has put in an part order and cannot give me a date as to when this can be fixed. The size of this backlog indicates there are many installations needed.

Takata recall, I keep receiving calls regarding my recall. My jeep was imported from puerto rico and they have the airbag and the dealership here does not have any airbags and could not help me. I have been waiting over an year for the airbag. Last week I went to the dealership in lake orion, mi and was informed that they do not have a status on when they will be receiving these airbags. My concern is I have 4 children and its my only vehicle. Please advise on this recall.

Takata recall my jeep has psan inflators please add it to the recall list. I called the dealership and they said it's not on the recall list. So it should be fine. But I got a letter from tk holding saying I only have until dec 27th because they filed bankruptcy and wont be responsible after that
Takata recall. Our selling / servicing dealer has received spontaneous, limited deliveries of the parts (driver & passenger side), but will not maintain a list of customers who need the parts. It is 1st come 1st served, no appointments, no waiting list. Must call weekly or "stop by" to see if parts available. This is ridiculous!
Understand from the jeep web app, fiat chrysler has parts available for the passenger air bag recall s43. But, I cannot get a dealer scheduled appointment for the recall since fiat chrysler is limiting dealers from ordering the available parts. I must wait until the dealer uses their inventory but a new shipment can be received. At this time all are marked for vehicles. Seems fiat chrysler doe not think safety is a concern and may be even fighting the federal safety agency ordered recall. It's hard to determine. Gotten answers from parts are still being manufactored to in the warehouse what a shame the public's safety is held in such a low reguard.

Takata recall. 6 months after being informed of the recall my airbag still hasn't been replaced. But my local jeep dealer would be perfectly happy to sell me a brand new jeep with a brand new airbag. Why are companies allowed to continue producing new vehicles before fixing a safety recall for existing customers? I want my vehicle fixed and safe!
