IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE'S ANY EFFORT IN CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I KNOW IT'S A RISK DRIVING A VEHICLE REGARDLESS, BUT INCREASING THE POTENTIAL DANGERS FOR A REASON THAT ISN'T MY OWN FAULT IS RIDICULOUS. I WISH I COULD GET RID OF THIS THING, BUT IT WOULD BE A PRETTY LARGE LOSS IF I DID AT THIS POINT, SO I HAVE TO ACCEPT IT UNTIL EITHER THEY FINALLY FIX THE ISSUE LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE MONTHS AGO, OR I GET A RAISE/HIT THE LOTTERY

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V-668 THE RECALL WAS ISSUED MONTHS AGO AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR WHERE: VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. CIRCUITS FAIL, WHICH PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING AND FROM SEAT BELTS RESTRAINING. I HAVE WAITED 4 MONTHS FOR A RESOLUTION AND THERE IS NOTHING. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE (PREGNANT!!!). JEEP SHOULD EITHER PROVIDE A SAFE RENTAL VEHICLE OR BUY THIS BACK. THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE HAS GREATLY DECREASED DUE TO THIS RECALL. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ON THIS-- THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD EXPECT THAT A GROUP WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS TO KEEP DRIVERS SAFE WOULD ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. I EXPECT MORE.

RECALL ISSUED BUT NO REMEDY TO FIX THE PROBLEM - WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS

CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. 42K MILES. PURCHASED FROM DEALER NEW IN 7-24-2012. OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MODULE FAILURE. WE ARE BEING CHARGED FOR REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR. COST IN EXCESS OF $400 PLUS DIAGNOSIS. I SEE THAT THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM IN OTHER JEEP VEHICLES OF SIMILAR VINTAGE. THE RECALL RECENTLY ISSUED SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THIS MODEL AS WELL.

THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED IN THE FIRST MONTH OF VEHICLE PURCHASE THROUGH A SURVEY, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY, SOMETIMES IT LOCKS, MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T. I HAD SOME INCIDENTS WHEN I NEEDED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK. MY PASSENGER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TOO. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT, IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, THE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RESPOND. *TR

MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY A VAN. THE STATE PATROL OFFICER ESTIMATED THE SPEED ON IMPACT WAS AROUND 25 MPH FROM THE VEHICLE THAT HIT MINE BUT MAY HAVE BEEN UNDERESTIMATED BECAUSE THE CRUSH DAMAGE AND DISTANCE THE JEEP WAS PUSHED SEEMS TO INDICATE A HIGHER IMPACT/SPEED. I WAS STRUCK MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT PANEL AND DRIVER DOOR. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BUT I HAD NO PASSENGER TRAVELING WITH ME. AFTER EVERYTHING SETTLED FROM BEING KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS I REALIZED THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AND SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE TRIED BUT FAILED AS PART OF THE AIRBAG WAS EXPOSED. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO A HOSPITAL. THEY FOUND MULTIPLE INTERNAL INJURIES AND STILL LOOKING INTO ROTATOR CUFF AREA AND TRAUMA TO IT. OTHER INJURIES INCLUDED BLEEDING/KIDNEYS BY BLOOD IN URINE, PARTIAL COLLAPSED LUNG WITH MAJOR BRUISED RIBS, CONCUSSION. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS...UPDATED 09-09-14 *BF UPDATED 12/16/2014 *JS *TR
