“We contacted west brothers chrysler dealership in sullivan, mo in feb. 2015 due to multiple recalls on the Jeep. They were aware the Jeep was not running, we were told to tow it to dealership on feb 26, 2015 and that all parts would be there in 2 to 3 weeks, I agreed to pay for a diagnostic test if the Jeep still would not start after recall was complete. I was told diagnostic test could not be done until after the p57 recall was complete. …”

“While driving the vehicle on the hwy all the interior lights on the dashboard flickered on, and then the car lost power. Has happened multiple times since the, and we haven't driven it in 3 months. Chrysler sent us a recall notice last year, but still has not manufactured a part to replace this safety recall. Recall # p57 / NHTSA 14v-567. Since this problem started I have wasted time and money trying to have it repaired..... And it keeps on happening. Jeep dealers should issue loaner cars, until they have a part to fix this.”
