Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND I HAD TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT.THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I COULD DO THIS, IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN ONE OUTING, NOW ITS EVERY SO OFTEN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT DONE IT WHILE I'M OUT ON AN INTERSTATE BUT I TRY TO STAY CLOSE TO HOME TIL IT CAN BE FIXED. PLUS WHEN I HAVE ON MY LIGHTS MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF . THEN HERE RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND A FEW DAYS AGO IT STAYED ON AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. I'VE TALKED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ITEM P41/ NHTSA 14V-438 AND I'M LIABLE FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE CONNECTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE RECALL A FEW MONTHS BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK ON WHEN I CAN GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT STEPS I SHOULD TAKE TO GET THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL SO I CAN ENJOY DRIVING MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THANKS AGAIN *TR
