Description of the problem | Catalytic converter recall it appears that my 2012 jeep patriot was not included in the recent catalytic converter recall of 2011-2016 jeep patriots. Yet, my vehicle would not pass pa state inspection in december of 2018 due to the catalytic converter and failed emissions tests. After paying $1200 to get my catalytic converter repaired in december, fca is now issuing a recall in march on all 2011-2016 jeep patriots? Except mine? Why? Futhermore, fca canada was aware of the problem and issued a recall on the same vehicles back in 2018. Why was fca america so slow to issue a recall? I want to be reimbursed for the money (i'm not a large corporation with billions of dollars) i put out for repairs to a vehicle that should have been recalled sooner and were caused by fca's attempts to save money and circumvent the epa's emissions and safety standards. Thereby jeopardizing the health and safety of hard working honest americans. |
