Cool ... Another recall

I view a recall as a good thing...it means that something that is amiss is being addressed. It's when a manufacturer doesn't do a needed recall that stuff gets into bad places...

Of course we're all happy to be taken care of when they know there's a problem, but I don't expect this many...and on what timeline it will even be addressed.

And in the meantime, I'm wondering about my brakes going out, my vanity mirror shorting and catching my car on fire (possibly my home too?), and now my airbag and seatbelts...

This is ridiculous, is more what I'm thinking.

Go buy a perfect vehicle then. Oh wait, there is no such thing.

I think it's good news. It will get fixed, when it gets fixed. It's all statistical odds every time you get in a vehicle. All they are doing is helping lower the odds of a problem that they have since learned about. How can that be ridiculous?

If you had work done in the area of the visor and are really worried about a fire (Not just being dramatic for the internet) maybe you could pull the fuse.

I digress a bit with the fire concern, because I forgot the recall was only if it had been worked on. Mine hasn't thankfully.

But it still adds to the overall worries I have with these recalls stacking up, even if they don't all apply to my Jeep in particular.

Just saw this, I'm now 3 recalls behind and might not ever catch up at this rate. I'm glad their doing something to correct the problems but this is starting to get out of hand.

At this point I might as well wait until I have a few of them and then go to the dealership once to fix it all. I still have the visor recall that I need to get done and I want to them to check the transmission. I think ill just wait for the next oil change

I was just told there is another recall on the front axles/cv boots joints etc..
Affected build dates March thru April 2014 and even applies to vehicles who HAD this repair already done!

Apparently Chrysler doesn't trust the vendor and there have been failures after their supplied axles were installed, so Chrysler gave them the boot & issued this new recall...

New components by another supplier forthcoming!

This new one was just announced. If it takes it's usual route it will be a month or so before it is put in the system and notices go out. From the number being recalled it sounds like all the 14s will be included.

That's my guess anyway.

I just had three recalls done yesterday (cluster, brake booster, wiring) and now another one came out. If i include the parking lamp issue there have been a total of 5! I also had numerous software updates performed (BCM, TCM, radio, Suspension system...). I like the fact that these issues are being addressed but all of these trips back to the dealer is getting old quick... I have numerous trips to the dealer on my '13 Charger too. These are the first two Chrysler products I have ever purchased (never did because of quality reputation) and now I understand how reputations are earned (at least in my case)...

Bummer because I like styling/performance/features of both...

I'm glad I dumped my early build 2014 Limited for my later build 2014 Overland...the amount of recalls & re-flashes for the early builds is getting ridiculous.

:slapfight:

I'd be happy if Chrysler just came up for a fix for the rough shifting V6 transmissions. It's going on 3 weeks now dealing with Chrysler Customer Care, and they STILL can't find a Jeep dealership in my area who will perform the latest TSB flash AND offer a loaner.

:rolleyes:

If you think Chrysler/Fiat is bad, the others are just as much. Toyota is the worst with recalls it seems, on average. Every month I read about one from either them (including Lexus) or some other manufacturer; Honda (including Acura), Government Motors, Ford, VW (including Audi), etc.

If you want to spend a ton of cash on a vehicle, and then have a legitimate complaint about number of problems or recalls, go buy a Land Rover.

Every vehicle is going to have recalls if the manufacturer is doing their job properly. There are so many different components from so many different vendors anymore, that its impossible to not have human error somewhere.

So right.
Especially about Landrovers.
But that does not mean Jeep need to do better.

Hey, Ford is a little better than Chrysler. :D

Anyone offended by "off topic" comments need not read any further.

While my new ride has nowhere near the capability of the Jeep, it does have a couple of nice features. You can upload your own pictures to use as backgrounds for the 8" screen. And you can change the color and brightness of the ambient lighting. There are seven colors/shades from a blue similar to the Overland to greens and reds. Also, when you open either front door the color turns to red for that door.

And for that "what were they thinking" moment. I have an in dash cd player and in the console an audio input, two USB connections but only one sd slot. The sd slot works great for playing music. But the maps for the navigation come on an SD card that must be inserted to use the nav. Duh!


I guess nobody gets it all right.

Is Ford still using that wacky warning tone when you first turn on the ignition? If so, can it be changed? If not, I wouldn't buy a Ford because of that stupid warning tone.
