Took our jeep in to autonation chrysler jeep arapahoe in centennial, co and they said they couldn't perform the recall work without removing the wench on the front of our jeep. They said we would have to pay 5 hours of tech time to remove and re-install the wench in order for them to perform the recall work. Didn't tell us when we brought it in, 9 hours later when I called to check on it they said this. The recall letter states that if the dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time we were to file a complaint.

Our jeep has a recall for a sensor wire in the front area of the vehicle. I dropped the jeep at the dealership (mall of georgia chrysler jeep in buford ga) and received a shuttle ride home. I was called a few hours later by my advisor [xxx] and told that I needed to remove the winch, winch plate, light bar, and lights on the front bumper. The tech needs to remove grill and cannot with this equipment in the way. They offered to remove all the equipment for me for $250. I told the advisor ([xxx]) that the letter received in the mail is adamant that this is to be done at no cost to the owner. He told me that it did not include custom equipment. I called fca, as my letter explained I should do if the dealer was not resolving my issue. I explained the situation as I have above. The fca agent (I do not have her name, but gave them my info) first indicated to me that there should not be any charges for recall repairs, so she called the dealer, talked to [xxx], and came back to my line telling me exactly what [xxx] had told me that a charge would be expected to remove the custom equipment so they can repair this vehicle. Should there ever be a reason for charging a customer for a recall repair, in a safety recall situation such as this?

Our 2 week old 2016 jeep wrangler willys was in a solo collision in july 2016. My partner hit water, hydroplaned, and then hit a guardrail with the front end at 50+ MPH on a 4 lane highway. She went airborne, flipped several times and was ejected from the vehicle. The seats came out and roll bars failed, but the airbags also never went off despite the initial impact. We do not know if she was wearing her seatbelt. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, collapsed lung, shattered pelvis, broken back, broken hip, broken eye socket, compound fracture of her ankle, broken tailbone, multiple deep lacerations and was in icu for weeks. The airbags never went off! ..updated 04/11/17 *bf updated 07/12/2017

The clock spring was replaced on the 2011 about 4 years ago but burned to the ground about 8/01/2016.
