CarComplaints.com Notes: There's no way around it, the Cherokee's transmission is junk. There's no other explanation for why a vehicle, usually with under 40,000 miles, would have so many complaints

Recall 49A was first publicized on May 11, 2023. FCA notified me about the recall in June, but no repair parts were available. I have received several other notifications from FCA since June (latest today), but every time I call the dealer to schedule the needed repair, I get the same response: no parts are available. Today I called FCA directly at 1 800 853 1403. Same response: no parts available and no estimate of when parts or repairs would be made. I am unable to trade in the vehicle due to the open recall, as no dealer will accept it. During the past seven months the powerlift tailgate has malfunctioned several times, but I have learned how to remove a fuse in the engine compartment to "re-set" it. I am increasingly concerned about a possible fire. FCA advises customers to part outside their garages to wait for the recall repair. This recall is NOT being handled in an effective and prompt manner. I ask that NHTSA investigate FCA's handling of this recall, and require FCA to provide customers with more specific information about the schedule for repairs.
When is FCA going to figure out a solution to Recall 49A? Recalls R27 and R67 have been done on my Cherokee. This is my solution for FCA: "Possible FCA temporary solution to the PLGM catching on fire: Instead of having the PLGM connect to an always hot fuse, relocate the wire in the PDC to an only ON when the engine is running fuse. Of course this means you can only open the liftgate when the engine is running, but at least you could park in your garage. You could put the ignition switch in the RUN position and not start the engine if desired to open the liftgate. This should be an acceptable inconvenience until a 'proper repair' can be implemented."
