The latest Jeep recall has many drivers confused and concerned about the safety of their cars.
The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration said this month that Chrysler should recall approximately 2.7 million Jeep SUVs because the fuel tanks can "rupture, leak, and cause fires."
Despite the three-year investigation and recommendation, Chrysler initially declined to recall the vehicles, claiming nothing was wrong with the Jeeps.
The company quickly changed their tune however after Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood had a meeting with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne. The two reached an agreement allowing Chrysler to limit the number of recalled vehicles down to 1.5 million.
The agreement removed 1.2 million Jeep Grand Cherokees between model years of 1999 and 2004 from the recall. Despite this news, people are worried that their cars may still not be safe to use.
Chrysler has been telling its customers that the models have a different design than the ones involved in the recall and are safe to drive.
"It's in my mind that if a car crashes into the back of me, that I've got to be on my toes and I've got to get out," said Els Sipkes whose 2000 Grand Cherokee was originally apart of the recall, according to the Inquisitr.
Despite the agreement, safety advocates have said the 1.2 million Jeeps should still be recalled, though it's unlikely the company will change his mind.
