2011 JEEP COMPASS Air Bags Problems

FOR OVER TWO YEARS MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I TRIED TO LOCATED THE A POSSINLE FUSE BUT FOUND THE FUSE BOX WAS MISLABLED ON THE DIAGRAM. CHECK YOU TUBE AND DIAGRAM IN MANUAL DID NOT MATCH. SO I LIVED WITH THE ISSUE BECAUSE FOR INSPECTION IT DID NOT AFFECT EMMISSIONS. NOW THAR I AM PASSING THE VEHICAL TO MY DAUGHTER I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT ALONG WITH A STEERING NUT TO CHECK. I WANT THE VWHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR HER. I ALREADY PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THE JEEP FROM A NEW TRANSMISSION, WIRING CONCERNS LOCATED UNDER DRIVERS FRONT TIRE, TIMING BELT AND GENERAL MAINTAINANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

RECALL FOR OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER FAILURE WAS ANNOUNCED BY CHRYSLER OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL OVER A YEAR AGO THAT MY 2011 JEEP COMPASS WAS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS MEANS THAT MY SEAT BELT AND FRONT AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY SUBJECT AT AN INCREASE FOR SEVERE INJURY OR FATALITY. I HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT A REPAIR AND WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER, CAPITAL CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE THAT THE FIX HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED YET BUT THEY HAD SCHEDULED IT FOR A FIX OF THIS PROBLEM (4/4/17) WHILE IT WAS IN FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE FIX HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED BY MOPAR, NOT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC). IS THIS A PART THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE OR...

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. CAR LOOSES POWER AND CUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. CAR ONLY HAS 49,415 MILES ON IT. TOOK TO DEALER, CAPITAL CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS. STATED CANNOT TRACE DOWN THE PROBLEM SO THEY WANT TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY TO THE TUNE OF $700.00. IN RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN WITH THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED THE PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING AND MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN POURED INTO TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR CAR EITHER CUTS OFF OR REDUCES SPEED TO ABOUT 25 MPH. IT IS LIKE THE GAS PEDAL AND THE MOTOR OR NOT COMMUNICATING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT IN JEEPS WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS...

JEEP DEALERSHIP IN VIRGINIA BEACH, TRIED TO INSTALL RECALL SOFTWARE, HOWEVER WOULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM AND NEEDED TO PAY FOR A NEW OCR MODULE (400.00) SINCE MY JEEP WILL NOT LET THE INSTALL OF THE RECALLED SOFTWARE BE INSTALLED. I'VE CALL CHRYSLER, THEY'VE ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER. I'VE CALLED BACK DAILY AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. THEY INSIST A SUPERVISOR WILL BE CALLING ME. NOTHING AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T GET ANY HELP FROM CHRYSLER/JEEP. *TR
