| Description of the problem | This is regarding the p-41 recall notice for the 2006 jeep grand cherokee. I took the vehicle in feb. 2016 to the dealer to have the recall fixed and i find that the recall work has not been shown as complete on the safecar. Gov website once i entered the vin number after being told the work was completed by the dealer. It states on the savecar. Gov website that parts to fix the p-41 recall are not available and seems to have not been available for quite some time. I am wondering how do i know that the dealer really dealt with the problem? They did something because my ignition is not working the same as it was prior to my taking it into the dealer. It is a hard turn of the key, to turn on and off the engine. It is very annoying and i often wonder if i will have trouble getting the key out of the ignition once the vehicle is off because the key acts as if stuck. The dealer tells me this will operate smoother in time. Despite this, i still wonder if the recall was actually fixed according to manufacturer specifications, especially since the work has not been shown as complete on the website and the part has not been available. I especially feel taken advantage of because this was my husband's vehicle and he died in june 2015. The dealer has always maintain this vehicle and there was an extended warranty, but it is no longer active because of the mileage. In addition to regular driving, i use the vehicle to tow a boat. I am concerned about the safety of the recall not only for myself but others drivers on the road. |
