I BOUGHT MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 WITH V8 4.7L, QUADRA TRACK II ON 8/1/2013. ATP I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON ______________. I SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND THE CARE WAS REPAIRED. I SOON CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP BACK AND COMPLAINED OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON INTERMITTENTLY, 4X4 SERVICE LIGHT AND PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ISSUES WERE NOT PARK OF THE RECALL THEY REPAIRED AND TO CALL THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. I CALLED AUTOMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY COMPLAINTS WERE NOT IN THE RECALL AND OR UNDER A WARRANTY WITH THEM AND TO PAY FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE SERVICES SO NO GO. I STILL HAVE THESE ISSUES OFF AND ON AND JUST GOT A SERVICE REPAIR RECALL NOTICE IN 9/2010. LIKE ALL THE OTHERS I'M STILL RISKING EVERYTHING EACH TIME I DRIVE THE ONLY CAR WE OWN AS A FAMILY AND AN WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE AND PRAY I DON'T HURT MYSELF MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER DRIVER, IF THE SYSTEM DECIDES TO COMPLETELY FAIL. COME ON GET YOUR [XXX] TOGETHER WE NEED PARTS AND A FIX ASAP!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
