Consumer Description

Due to the Safety Recall 49A - I am told that I am to leave my vehicle parked nowhere near buildings or other vehicles as there is a fire safety concern with vehicles catching fire whether or not the ignition is on. I called the Mopar line, and was not that it was not urgent and to take it to my Jeep dealership to have it examined to determine if I needed a rental - even though the recall states that it's to be parked due to a FIRE SAFETY concern. The dealership says they were never given information on what was needing fixed so they wouldn't know what to look for - I call Mopar back. They said they didn't know why I was told to go to the dealership and that if the recall doesn't state they'll offer a rental, then they won't offer a rental. But I can pay out of pocket for a rental and MAYBE get reimbursed by them for it, if they deemed it necessary. I have ONE vehicle, and I'm a single mother that drives her child to school. Explain to me how I'm to do that if they want me to PARK it? Not to mention, the Mopar CS refused to tell me it was safe to drive because she "couldn't say that." So, I'm suppose to drive a vehicle that can catch on fire without even being on when it's my only means to drive my child to school or get groceries - and they can't tell me it's safe to drive BUT refuse to offer a rental because it's fine? How is this fine? This is a safety concern (as the recall states) and a serious liability with a possible lawsuit waiting. It's been recalled since May, it is now August, and they have no idea when it may be fixed - three months have already passed without a fix, and they think it's fine to drive while stating not to drive it. What am I supposed to drive? I can barely buy groceries, I have no credit cards to rent a vehicle. I'm literally terrified every time I drive my daughter anywhere because we could die. But Mopar tells me it isn't urgent and I don't need a rental - when the recall, and them, say otherwise while stating it's fine. Deathtrap.
