NHTSA Complaint #10717642 — 2014 JEEP PATRIOT

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I NOTICE THAT WHEN I GO START MY JEEP IT THE ENGINE HAS A BIT OF HESITATION STARTING, WHEN IT STARTS IT LIKE THUMP. ALSO WHILE DRIVE MY VEHICLE SEEM TO INCREASE AN AT TIME DECREASE ON ITS OWN. TODAY I DID A SEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND ONE SAFETY RECALL N52. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY JEEP. I EXPLAINED THAT NHTSA HAD THE RECALL INFORMATION ON THEIR WEB SITE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT THE NHTSA WHO PUTS RECALLS. RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC. I'M A LITTLE BAFFLE BY THE WOMAN AT CHRYSLER'S COMMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I THANK THE WOMAN AND STATED THAT I HONESTLY HOPE THE INFORMATION GIVEN IS CORRECT AND THAT I AM SAFE ON THE ROADS. PERSONALLY I DON'T TRUST THE MANUFACTURES DUE TO HAVING PAST RECALLS ON VEHICLES AND RECIEVING NO NOTIFICATION. MY QUESTION TO NHTSA IS REGARDING RECALL N52 IS THIS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL OR IS THIS A RECALL FOR 2014 JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. I ALSO NOTICE THE ISSUE ANOTHER PERSON HAD WITH THE REAR BRAKE SQUEALING.
