NHTSA Complaint #11351460 — 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE

REFERING TO COMPLAINT # 11351451. THE ENTIRE COMPLAINT DID NOT TRANSMIT. THE SERVICE TECH GAVE ME A COPY OF THE STAR ONLINE PUBLICATION CASE # S1823000010 THE RELEASE DATE 03-09-2018. THE PUBLICATIONS STATES THAT I NEED A KL FLAT TOW KIT P/N68321424AA THIS KIT ALLOWS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING TO ACTIVE AND SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER SYSTEMS DURING FLAT TOW. I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN FEBRUARY 2017. THE STAR ONLINE PUBLICATIONS IS DATED ONE YEAR AND ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT MY JEEP. THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ON MY JEEP AND I AM WONDERING WHY ? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WERE FILED WITH JEEP ABOUT THIS INCIDENT? THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF I HAD BEEN ON A BRIDGE WITH HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND DIS-CONNECT THE JEEP AND DRIVE OFF THE BRIDGE SAFELY? IF I HAD BEEN TOWING MY JEEP BY MYSELF HOW WOULD I ACCOMPLISH WHAT NEED TO BE DONE? I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ANTIOCH JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE KIT AND THE LABOR TO INSTALL WHICH IS OVER $590.00. I AM IN CRESCENT CITY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30. I WILL HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE THE JEEP BEHIND THE MOTOR HOME 375 MILES HOME PLEASE LET ME KNOW AFTER YOU INVESTIGATE IF THIS SHOULD BE A RE CALL BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. MY JEEP IS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATIDUDE WITH ACTIVE DRIVE II
