I have 2 recalls from jeep and nothing has been done for years, they are p41/nhtsa 14v-438 and p73. Every time i go into the dealership they say they can't get the parts. The forms they send out don't have a date on them so they are smart enough not to have any incriminating evidence as to how long the customer sits on these and they are waiting for an accident or the customer sells the car and the paper work gets…

I had my mother with me & told her about the "recall" & this was it...the ignition switch (recall…

The transfer case is not allowed to go into neutral which is a requirement to tow behind my motorhome. I am 2,000 miles from home and the fault would require my wife to drive the jeep home instead of having it towed behind the motorhome. It is a safety issue as we take turns driving so there is an alert driver at all times, driving separate vehicles would require twice the drive time. This issue was caused by…

Had the transmission warranty recall update done, now i am getting a "service 4wd" light. In doing research this is very common on jeep's who had the recent warranty update. Jeep needs to correct this problem. In some cases dealers are replacing actuators under warranty and in some not. My dealer, ed tomko jeep in avon lake, ohio, would like to charge me to take a look at it. Chrysler/jeep needs to pay to correct…
