Received the recall safety notice and brought the Jeep into fields in glencoe, il. Was told the part was on backorder. It has been 3 months and the part still is not in. Called to check and they say that only one part gets sent every 14 days and people since August have been waiting. I'm now #100 on the list. If I do the math correct in 4 years I'll get the part. Hello" is anyone out there" safety recall!!! this is ridiculous. Called Chrysler and they said the parts are sent as soon as possible. Maybe they should go to a different provider.

Please help. I have received many Chrysler notifications regarding a safety recall on my Jeep. (one component rubs up against the transmission and causes it to leak). I started getting these recall notices in November, 2013. I have called grapevine Jeep many times to get an appointment. They continue to tell me that there are not enough parts from Chrysler and I am on a waiting list of over 40 people. Why are there no parts and Chrysler continues to send out notices of safety issues. This concerns me very much. Please help resolve this issue and put the heat on Chrysler to make us safe. I will be happy to contact the local news stations here. I love my Jeep, however, I'm far from excited about the sales/service that Chrysler (my nearest dealership) offers. I dread dealing with them. Thank you in advance for your prompt needed attention to this matter.

I received a letter that there was a recall on the transmission oil cooler tube (safety recall N28/ NHTSA 13V-234). I took my vehicle in Oct 30, 2013 and was told the parts were ordered and I would be notified when parts arrive. 2 months later I was still not notified of the parts arriving. I called the dealership and was told there was a 2 year waiting period for the part. I was told it was supposedly on order already and to see if it had come in. They said it was never ordered and would call me right back. It has been nearly 3 weeks and I have received no call back. On my recall letter it stated that if a dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect in a reasonable time, that I may file a written complaint. That is what I am here to do.
