I have been receiving notices for a recall for almost a year and the dealer is unable to repair it due to lack of parts. I went to the dealer 7 months ago, still no remedy.

I've received three notifications by Chrysler group llc since September 2013 for safety recall on transmission oil cooler tube coming in contact with power steering fluid return tube. I've called three times since September and received different response.parts not available, taken my name and number, will get in touch, you'll be on a list, etc. No remedy appears to be around the corner. Chrysler outlines what the dealer will do to fix the issue. What action needs to occur for this to happen"?"

I was notified last fall that my vehicle was under recall. The recall has to do with the oil cooler tube coming in contact with the power steering return tube which may cause a fire. I have made several calls to two different dealerships and the best they can do is put me on a "wait list" because daimler is only releasing one repair kit per dealership every 10 days and I have many people ahead of me. It is now may and still no call, however, I keep getting notices to get it done. I don't understand how a recall can be performed in this manner. They tell you your vehicle might catch on fire, but you have to wait months to get it fixed? it doesn't seem right to me, so I called daimler to complain. They confirmed that the one kit per dealer every 10 days is correct and I have to wait. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me...

"safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube" - another complaint regarding patent disregard for consumer safety by Chrysler. I have been waiting 14 months for resolution to this issue. The manufacturer direct me to the dealership. The dealership blames the manufacturer. NHTSA bears responsibility as well as they apparently are failing to compel Chrysler to perform. I certainly do not want anyone to suffer injury due to this defect. Can nothing be done to accelerate the repair process?

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I have been regularly receiving a notice titled "safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube" from Chrysler many times for the past year. The dealership has not made any attempt to perform the recall even though I have often tried to scheduled it. They continually tell me that they cannot get the required parts from the factory, but when they do they will call me. I called the factory recall assistance center (1-800-853-1403) listed on the recall notice and the person who answered gave me the same story; "Chrysler is having trouble getting the required parts from their supplier". I am certain Chrysler has the ability to build anything, so the fact that they say they can't get some simple hoses built is a ridiculous excuse. It is clear that Chrysler is not responding sincerely to this NHTSA recall. Perhaps, like the Chevy ignition key fob issue, cost vs safety is more important to yet another american automobile manufacturer. Note that the Chrysler notice did say that if the dealer fails to remedy the defect within a reasonable time to file a complaint at www.safercar.gov and this form is the only complaint form I could access from that site. If this is the wrong form please redirect my complaint to the correct location.

Received another recall notice regarding the transmission oil cooler tube. Had the vehicle inspected on Jan 20, 2014. Called the Jeep dealership and was told again that they are receiving one part per week for the recall. The dealership was working on vehicle #17 and I was #42 in the waiting list. At one part being ordered per week, it will be at least another 25 weeks before I expect to hear that the part will be available.
