NHTSA Complaint #11046052 — 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

I BROUGHT THE SUBJECT VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL ITEMS. I DEALT WITH MR. RALPH ALFANO OF ARROWAY. I IMMEDIATELY ADVISED THAT I WAS PROFOUNDLY DEAF, AND I MAY NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL CONVERSATION. I WAS PROCESSED TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN ON NOVEMBER 9, 2017. DURING THE DAY I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MY CELL PHONE. THEY ADVISED AN ADDITIONAL PART HAD TO BE INSTALLED. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME, BUT THE WORK WAS DONE. IT TURNED OUT THAT THEY FELT THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE IMPACT SENSOR ON THE AIRBAG, AND FOR THIS THEY CHARGED ME $315.83. AS THIS IS RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE MODULE OF THE RECALLED AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL (AND NOT CHARGED TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES). I ASK YOU TO INTERCEDE IN THIS AND TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS FROM BEING CHARGED FOR THIS ADDITIONAL WORK. IS THIS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? YOUR PUBLIC NOTICE DOES NOT FULLY DESCRIBE THE REPAIR AND PARTS THAT ARE INCLUDED (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15V-046). PLEASE FOLLOW UP AND ADVISE.
