| Description of the problem | I contacted jeep customer assistance center after i was researching this web site and saw recall #l37. Nhtsa action # pe11019. I own a right hand drive jeep and this recall very specifically said 2008-2012 right hand drive jeeps were having problems with the clock spring. I contacted jeep several times, i went ahead and had this repair done on my own in fear of being in an accident and not having an air bag to deploy if needed, (i'm on the highway 5-6 hours per day) also my horn would not blow, it is needed at times to alert other drivers etc.. Dec. 15th i called and requested to be reimbursed and they informed me that this recall was very vin specific, and mine was not included, i let them know i had the same problem. This really troubled me so i contacted jeep again by email, they informed me again that my jeep was not included in the vin specific recall. What can i do to be treated fairly and get reimbursed for a recall that should have been on my vehicle as well??? I was having the exact same issues as the ones that were recalled, and this could have caused serious safety problems for me as well as the jeeps that were so vin specific. There should not be a problem to having a vehicle recalled if it could hinder the air bag from deploying and risking the lives of anyone. |
