motors and nitsa, they said we did three crash investigations of vehicles where the air bags did not deploy and the conclusions were inconclusive, no way of saying yes there s a problem with the air bags. then when we talked with general motors, look, there are a lot of factors that go into accidents that go well beyond simply hitting a post or something else and the air bag should have been deployed. was it a rollover accident? and also, these are raw numbers, raw data here. when you compare the raw numbers with other comparable models the odds are you may get a similar incident rate if terms of the air bag not deploying. they are saying this is one more example where the federal government and general motors dropped the ball and should have been more concerned about safety, both gm and nitsa are saying we ll continue looking into this but at this point there s not a connection there. phil lebeau, thank you so
air bag may not properly deploy. so those are concerns in a slow rollover. you should take your car in to the dealership if you have one of those. second one, 221,000 wrangler suvs from model year 2012 and 2013. the issue here is that they re concerned a power steering component pay rub against the transmission fluid line and that could cause a lot of wear and ultimately possibly break that line so you could have a transmission spill that could disable your transmission. those are the two recalls today. what chrysler is saying, guys, is that they say there have been no accidents or injuries that they know of related to either of these. but they re doing this because of a result of their own investigation internally. but again, this comes days after they said no to nitsa, the government agency, calling them to recall 2.7 million of their jeep models. so, poppy, i mean it really
agency, the government, drivers? what they told me is that wrangler recall on the wrangler models was driven by some customer complaints. but they told me there were no customer complaints about the patriot and compass models. and also we pulled up these letters, these are from the national highway traffic safety administration or nitsa and they do confirm chrysler notified them about these recalls, not the other way around. but this is timing is, again, right after that big recall request. chrysler is standing its ground, guys, on those 2.7 million vehicles that nitsa is asking them to recall. chrysler is standing its ground and we know from a source familiar with the situation that they will fight that recall, the separate recall we heard about earlier this week, all the way to federal court if they have to. they do not believe there s a safety concern there. okay. if you re an suv owner, go to our website and find out whether you re recalled or not recalled. right. poppy har
this horrible, horrible danger and at the most i was hoping that this would help people find my petition and get enough signatures at change.org to make something happen and after nitsa has received, they ve received 125,000 e-mails from concerned citizens using the platform to have change.org and i think that had to have had an impact on their decision to finally make a conclusion in this investigation. well, janelle, we appreciate you sharing your story with us. we are so sorry for what you and your father went through and that family, but we re so grateful that you took some time to tell us your story and thank you very much. thank you so much. now, i do want to let you know, earlier, chrysler did respond to this issue again as we said.
applicable requirements. i think they are saying they don t see a problem. that is right. they have complied with all federal law. what about them blowing up? some cars blowing up. that is chrysler s point. neil: i don t want to be in the car if it does. we know that, any car maker can t avoid any possible kind of accident. neil: why can t you put people s fears? that is what they have done. they have done their own engineering analysis and their results show their jeeps are not any more dangerous than any other cars on the road. neil: it could be mechanic, no problem. you are right. that is when nitsa can step in and they can order. they think they have to. anyone driving around in
