On july 18 2014 recall # p41 was issued by chrysler corp. They have, as yet no solution for this issue. It has been almost a year and no solution in sight. Who in their right mind issues a recall without a solution? I need this recall completed so i can get it licensed. I need the nhtsb to insist that chrysler live up to it's claim that safety is of paramount importance. Either abandon this recall or fix the problem.

There is also a recall out for power train parts where the jeep may slip into neutral--this has happened several times, to the point where we are unsafe driving it. Any contact with chrysler has resulted in "we've forwarded your complaint to our parts department" and then no response.…

Light bulbs behind the climate control unit and information center blow. Console is designed in such a way that the blown light bulbs cannot be replaced as they are fused to the circuit board of the affected unit. Only way to fix this issue is to replace the affected unit (like the whole climate control), which is quite expensive. This is a design flaw since the bulbs are neither maintenance-free (and long-lasting)…

Prior to the incident, my jeep felt as if it were having trouble switching between gears. It felt jerky, if you will. While traveling along i-95 on the east coast of florida, my jeep (twice) slipped gear and appeared to have gone into neutral. If you know the area, it's not the ideal place for this to happen. Since returning to the west coast of florida, it has happened once. I've taken to a shop for a tune-up and…
