1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Structurebody Problems

MY DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT ADDRESS RECALL N45 WITHOUT CHARGING ME TO FIX SOME CORROSION DAMAGE. N45 IS A SAFETY RECALL. THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON WHY FCA SHOULDN'T PAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT SAFE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND HAULING A TRAILER, THE TOW HITCH FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HITCH NEEDED TO THE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. .....UPDATED 01/27/16 *BF *JS

ON JANUARY 18TH 2014 I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ROADS WERE SOMEWHAT ICY AND MY JEEP WAS REAR ENDED BY A 2005 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE JEEP INCLUDED A BENT BUMPER AND BENT FRAME, RESULTING IN THE FRAME BEING PUSHED UP AGAINST THE FUEL TANK, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO BECOME FAULTY AND A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO LEAK OUT FROM THE TOP. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THIS MODEL YEAR GRAND CHEROKEE DUE TO A POTENTIAL FIRE BEING CAUSED FROM REAR-END COLLISIONS FROM THE GAS TANK; HOWEVER I DID NOT BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL AFTER THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. CHRYSLER'S POOR HANDLING OF THE RECALL AND THEIR POOR NOTIFICATION SYSTEM MADE IT SO THAT THE JEEP WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE, THE RECALL FIX WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN...

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE PAINT IS JUST POPPING OFF THE TOP AS WELL AS SOME SPOTS ON THE HOOD. ALSO THE BUMPERS AND OTHER TRIM ON THE VEHICLE HAS THIS WHITE CHALKY RESIDUE ON IT AND NOTHING WILL MAKE IT GO AWAY. IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE DAMAGE OR WILL YOU FILE THIS COMPLAINT SO THERE WILL BE A RECALL. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE AC EVAPORATOR REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. WHERE DO I GO TO GET MY REIMBURSEMENT SINCE I NOW KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL? *AK
