NHTSA Complaint #10535029 — 2002 JEEP LIBERTY

LEARNED THRU INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY: (1) UNWARRANTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND (2) POSSIBLE GAS TANK EXPLOSION IF REAR-ENDED. I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND TALKED TO A MATT, WHO CONFIRMED BOTH RECALL ITEMS. HE SAID I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER FROM JEEP TELLING ME HOW TO PROCEED, BUT THAT AT THIS TIME THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX BOTH RECALL PROBLEMS WERE BACK-ORDERED. SO I AM DRIVING A CAR IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS MIGHT EXPLODE AT ANY TIME (MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT WILL) AND IF I AM REAR-ENDED THERE IS A GOOD LIKELIHOOD THAT MY GAS TANK WILL EXPLODE. WHAT AM I TO DO IF ONE OF THESE OCCURS WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THE JEEP NOTIFICATION AND/OR REPLACEMENTS PART TO BE IN STOCK? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW, BUT HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE. WHAT DO I DO? *TR
