MY CAR IGNITION INADVERTENTLY TURNED OFF AND DISABLING POWER STEERING, BRAKE ETC. THIS RESULTED IN THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE KEEP. THE JEEP ROLLED DOWN THE HILL AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND AND DAMAGING BOTH THE CARS AND INJURING ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR BEHIND.
I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TEXAS ON APRIL 15, 2015 WITH THE PURPOSE OF EXPORTING IT INTO CANADA, WHERE I LIVE. MY SON AND I DROVE IT BACK TO CANADA AND GOT CLEARANCE TO IMPORT IT INTO CANADA AS PER THE VEHICLE IMPORT FORM - FORM 1 FROM TRANSPORT CANADA ( REGISTRAR OF IMPORTED VEHICLES CASE # T 075907). I PAID THE IMPORT FEE OF $204.75 AND THE EXCISE TAX $100.00 AND GOODS AND SERVICES TAX OF $ 408.56 - $508.56 TOTAL. WHEN I GOT TO SASKATCHEWAN, WHERE LIVE, I TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE LICENCED AND INSURED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I COULD NOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE VEHICLE... I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF ONLY TO FIND THERE WAS NO " FIX" FOR THE RECALL AND NO DEFINITE TIME FRAME WHEN I COULD EXPECT TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE AND GET THE VEHICLE LICENCED AND INSURED WHERE I LIVE. THIS LEAVES ME WITH A DILEMMA!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A RECALL WHERE THERE WAS NO "FIX" AVAILABLE BEFORE THE AUTO MAKER ANNOUNCED THE RECALL. I'M STUCK!!! FORTUNATELY, I STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE INSURED WITH MY TEXAS INSURER AND AM DRIVING ON THE PERMIT FROM THE DEALER. I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG I CAN CONTINUE TO DO THIS LEGALLY. IT'S VERY UNSETTLING !! AS I UNDERSTAND IT, ANY VEHICLE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ARE STILL OK TO DRIVE IF THEY WERE BOUGHT IN USA OR CANADA UNTIL A "FIX" BECOMES AVAILABLE BUT AN IMPORTED VEHICLE IS NOT OK! HELP!!

PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, MY JEEP FELT AS IF IT WERE HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING BETWEEN GEARS. IT FELT JERKY, IF YOU WILL. WHILE TRAVELING ALONG I-95 ON THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA, MY JEEP (TWICE) SLIPPED GEAR AND APPEARED TO HAVE GONE INTO NEUTRAL. IF YOU KNOW THE AREA, IT'S NOT THE IDEAL PLACE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. SINCE RETURNING TO THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA, IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE. I'VE TAKEN TO A SHOP FOR A TUNE-UP AND TO CHECK ON THAT PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE 'FIX' DID NOT FIX IT AND I'M STILL EXPERIENCING JERKY SHIFTS AND GEAR FAILURE. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME TYPE OF INCIDENTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, BUT HAVE NOT LOCATED A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. WITHOUT HESITATION, I'LL SAY I'M TERRIFIED. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
