completed the recall repair in [redacted], including work on the front seat-belt buckle switch wiring. Despite that repair, the passenger-side warning problem continues. I reported the condition during a subsequent service visit at Hendrick Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in [[redacted]]. The dealership stated that no fault codes were found and the technician could not reproduce the malfunction. Consequently, no corrective repair was performed. The intermittent malfunction continues during normal vehicle operation. I am concerned that the passenger restraint system may not function as intended in a collision. The underlying cause remains unknown. I request that NHTSA review whether the Recall 82B remedy was effective on this vehicle or whether another restraint-system defect exists. The vehicle remains available for inspection. No crash or injury has been reported in connection with this malfunction. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle intermittently drops engine power. Dealership found 35 stored fault codes and vehicle has repeatedly blown the F03 fuse causing a no start condition. This has happened repeatedly making this vehicle a severe collision hazard. Dealership, Southern Dodge Chrysler Jeep Fiat, Norfolk Virginia has not found the root cause after 400.00 dollars in diagnostic fee's. Manufacturer Stallantis opened a case number then closed the case number due to the dealership not able to duplicate issue in the service bay.
Everything with this car had been running fine. Regular maintenance. With absolutely no warning, as I was leaving a parking lot, the engine literally exploded. There are pieces of it that have been documented by the mechanics that looked at it. Thankfully I wasn't on a highway, or this could have seriously hurt people. This specific engine has a class action lawsuit against it and now i do not know what to do.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or while shifted into reverse, the center display failed to display an image. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the U-Connect system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to another local dealer, Southfork Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (17725 South Fwy Manvel, TX 77578) for a second opinion. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
The Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Tampa, Florida dealership fraudulently marked my safety recall as completed in 2024, despite never performing the repair. I have driven this vehicle for two years believing my major airbag safety recall was addressed, when it was not. The Vancampen Motors Inc - Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram in Williamsport PA physically confirmed the recall connector was still installed, and I photographed it with the mechanic. The mechanic explained that this defect could prevent airbags from...

deploying in a crash, risking serious injury or death. I have now been without my vehicle for over three weeks while trying to resolve this. I haven't been able to work or leave my apartment for the entire three weeks. The Williamsport dealership cannot perform the repair because Tampa refuses to correct the false completion record or pay for the repair. The Tampa location has been proved photo proof of the recall not being completed. During a three way call with both dealerships and my Jeep case manager, Tampa continued refusing to resolve the issue and reportedly instructed Vancampen Motors Inc - Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram to misclassify as a repair of a defective recall instead. The tampa dealership was paid out for this recall they did not complete in 2024. This obstruction is preventing a critical safety recall from being completed. I am requesting an investigation into the false recall record, the unperformed repair, and Tampa's continued refusal to allow the safety issue to be corrected.
