Complaint is about recalls being painful and fca not seeming like it wants to perform them: r60: parts are still not available though we got a notice labeled "important safety recall" months ago. According to our dealer parts are still not available. Apparently this is for an airbag issue but it does not seem that fca is making "every effort to obtain these parts as quickly as possible" as is stated on the recall…

When i contacted the dealer, ciconni chrysler jeep, they said my car was left out of the recall. This vehicle does not have a trailer hitch. Can you advise me on this matter? *tr

I've always had trouble with my 2004 jeep grand cherokee. Especially with the fuel system and fuel pump. I've had to replace my fuel pump 3-4 times. Now its reading the rpm extremely high. I've also had to replace my jeep's computer because i was told that was the problem. It seems there's also electrical issues. I still can't find the exact problem.

While driving the vehicle experienced a power loss except for the electrical system. I was unable to control my speed and lost power steering. After 5 seconds, while coasting to a stop, the vehicle resumed full power. Since the first occurrence, it has become more frequent (up to twice a week). In addition, the vehicle will not start randomly and requires a few minutes wait time before a successful start. *tr
