S61/NHTSA 16V-668 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER - THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ABOUT 1 YEAR PRIOR TO THIS RECALL AND THE SAFETY BELTS DIDN'T RESTRAIN PROPERLY, AS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE INJURED AND AFTER 19 MONTHS LATER ARE STILL BEING TREATED FOR INJURIES. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT INDICATOR WOULDN'T GO OFF WHEN NO SEAT BELT WAS ON EVEN AT SPEEDS OF 40+ MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND SUCH AN ISSUE. IT MALFUNCTIONS PERIODICALLY AND WILL NOT GO OFF AS TO NO SEAT BELT ON WHEN GOING 40+MILES OR LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT DINGING NOISE OR SOMETIMES NOTHING WILL COME ON. THERE HAS EVEN BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BELTS ARE ON AND SECURE. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL WITH NO FIX YET, BUT WILL NOT ISSUE RENTAL OR LOANER CARS...

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...

2011 JEEP COMPASS, A RENTAL VEHICLE. THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT SAFETY BELT, WHILE APPEARING TO BE BUCKLED, WAS NOT SECURELY FASTENED. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP, THE BELT UNBUCKLED ALLOWING THE PASSENGER TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS THE DASHBOARD. NO INJURIES RESULTED FROM THE INCIDENT. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE OUTER PLASTIC CASING OF THE BUCKLE RECEPTACLE WAS NOT IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THIS PIECE WAS MOVED BY HAND INTO THE CORRECT POSITION, AND THE BELT THEN APPARENTLY OPERATED APPROPRIATELY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RENTAL PERIOD. *KB
