Own a Jeep? Over 250K recalled for airbags/fire hazard

More dOPe than I thought.

I love my '06 Wrangler Rubicon. Shakes like the dickens, tough to keep in a straight line at 65, but when the going gets gnarly, just put it in 4L and grabit and growl. 1st vehicle I've had in 40+ years that can get to/from the cabin year-round.....of course the non-winter that Alaska's had for the past several years might have something to do with that.

On my 5th jeep, all have gone 180,000 plus miles before I sold them. Not an issue with any of them.

That's great, my mothers Olds Aurora also has a statistically poor reliability rating, and she had no problems either - there are always outliers in statistics, and with a Jeep, it's good to have one! (Yes, I grew up in Jeeps and owned a beloved in-line 6).

Why did I write "one of many" recalls for Jeeps in my topic thread?

Feast your eyes on this Jeep lovers!

These are in addition to the airbag recall just for the 2016 models. Gobs of articles/pages as to recalls for many different issues on Jeeps.

Read and weep but you Don, might just now be informed as you can't seem to see thru your FCA issued mandated blinders.

I'm the thread OP and the facts support it plus so much more!

This is going to be a long winter!!!

You are a total clown Nutz.

Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 224,000 Jeep Wrangler SUVs worldwide because the air bags may not inflate in a crash.

The recall covers certain 2016 and 2017 Wranglers. The company says in government documents that wiring to a sensor can come loose, cutting off signals to an air bag computer. If that happens, the seat belt pretensioners won't work and the air bags won't deploy.

The company says no one has been hurt because the air bags didn't inflate and no customers have complained. The problem was discovered during company crash tests. Fiat Chrysler found that during a crash, the left headlight would rotate, pulling the wiring loose.

Repairs to fix the problem aren't ready yet, but Fiat Chrysler says it's imminent and owners will be notified when to set up a service appointment. Dealers will reroute the wiring at no cost to owners.

Fiat Chrysler says none of the 2017 models have been sold yet.

Owners can contact FCA at 800-853-1403.

I'll play.....http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ford-f150-auto-parts-obsolete-go-public-1.3746577

only after a consumer group got envolved did the manufacturer do something to solve the issue, good on them.


Warning to those that keep their trucks/cars for more then 7 years, they become obsolete very quickly.
