| Description of the problem | I just got a copy of the n47 rear structural reinforcement recall. You people have got to be kidding me. Who took the payoff on this one? There is absolutely no difference between the 1998 jeep grand cherokee and the 2004 jeep grand cherokee when these vehicles get hit from behind when the gas tank explodes. The 1999-2004 need to be included under the n45 recall same as the 1998 and earlier models. As we all know the 1998 and earlier jeep grand cherokees are a fading model due to the age of the vehicles. Meaning that chrysler will not have to spend as much money to fix these 1998 and earlier models as they would if you included the 1999-2004 models which should be included because they have exactly the same structural problem and will be on the road longer. My goodness this is common sense. Chrysler needs to do the right thing. I want my 2004 jeep grand cherokee recalled and fixed. Dealers have quoted me pricing between $600. 00-$750. 00 to have this fixed correctly on my model. How about having jeep just give me the parts and i will fix it myself. (that's a joke) anyway forward this to chrysler/jeep for me and make sure my complaint gets registered, so that when this rear structural mishap happens to me and i survive the incident everyone will have copies when the lawsuits begin. Thank you very much for reading this.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
