| Description of the problem | I have had numerous occurrences where the van ignition turns off while driving which began approximately a year ago. There has been a recall for this problem since june 2014. I received notification of the recall in sept. 2014 (important safety recall l25 / nhtsa 14v-373). Since then i have made several calls to the dealership trying to schedule a repair. However, i am always told that they have still not received the parts from chrysler. I have to drive my van, but i do feel that this is a hazardous defect. It is very difficult to steer the van when the engine unexpectedly shuts down. It needs to be corrected. What is the purpose of having a recall when the parts are not available to correct the issue? |
