My issues relates to existing recall # N45/ NHTSA 13V-252. The recall indicates that vehicles without a hitch will have a hitch installed by the dealer or if a hitch was installed after the vehicle was sold then Chrysler will provide reimbursement for the cost. My question is...what about the original owners that purchased the vehicle with the hitch as original equipment? why are they (we) excluded from any reimbursement" why were we not considered in the recall evaluation" I have contacted Chrysler and have been given the typical corporate runaround blaming their inability to offer reimbursement on the NHTSA recall notice. Looks like the balls in your court.

I have been advised years ago of a recall N45/NHTSA 13V-252 on this vehicle. The dealership continually advises that they do not have the parts. How can they not have parts for a trailer hitch, and how could it take years to get those parts? I believe they are simply hoping the consumer gives up on getting these done on an older vehicle.
