@Jeep @StellantisNA @jlareauan @phoebesaid @tkrisher @ClarkHoward @Lisa_L_Gill @NHTSAgov @CRAdvocacy @KATUNews @KGWNews Looks like my link to the previous thread got lost, here's the backtrace https://t.co/B72ncydIeL

[Ben Straub 🟧 @benstraub]

Update on my ✨forbidden glitter✨ situation. It's now been a week since my car's engine broke.

See this thread for the full backstory, but the short version is that @Jeep recalled a fuel pump, and the replacement part failed in the same way the recall was meant to address.

[Ben Straub 🟧 @benstraub]

Update! (Click back two threads if you want the full backstory, tl;dr my fuel pump was recalled, replaced, and then failed in exactly the way the recall was meant to prevent)

I managed to get through @Jeep's phone tree to my case manager.

@Jeep I sent a DM, but I haven't heard back yet. Details there, but also in my case.

[Ben Straub 🟧 @benstraub]

Hey @Jeep and @StellantisNA, I could use a little help here, because I’m in a situation that feels like it lines up a little too neatly with one of your recalls.

[Ben Straub 🟧 @benstraub]

When I called today to get a status update, I was sent to the voicemail of my case manager, who was offline, and the rep couldn't tell me when they'd be back. So now we wait.

Sharing with a few folks who report on auto safety and consumer issues, in case this is helpful context: @jlareauan @phoebesaid @tkrisher @ClarkHoward @Lisa_L_Gill @NHTSAgov @CRAdvocacy @KATUNews @KGWNews

[Ben Straub 🟧 @benstraub]

@Jeep and @StellantisNA I'm hoping you'll take a close look at this and stand behind the recall and your own policy here. I’ll update when I hear back, but figured it was worth sharing the story in the meantime.
