Description of the problem | In september of 2016 jeep discovered a serious, possibly fatal risk potential associated with a sensor involved in restraining seat belts and deploying air bags "under certain impact conditions". As an owner, i was not apprised of this risk until june 20, 2017. Then, when i inquired about the availability of a repair to correct this lemon i was "informed", "advised" there was no repair available and such repair(s) may not be available for six months. I was given a vague estimate, and vague "assurance" i would be apprised of repair availability when ready. I asked, "should i bee driving this flaw?" they had no specific guidance. Seriously? Accordinfly, i am invoking "lemon law" and demanding full liquidation of my existing auto loan at jeep's expense. If they do not oblige, i shall seek civil suit damages by jury trial for added emotional pain and suffering coupled with their failure to fully-disclose potential fatal flaw for over six months to jeep owners. I expect the nhtsa to manage this claim. Period. What a mess. What country is this? Is anyone watching and protecting consumers? I expect the nhtsa to force jeep to immediately undertake a full buyback program no later than july 1, 2017. Period. |
