| Description of the problem | The vehicle was hard to steer for about 6 months before having it repaired at my local dealership on oct 14, 2013. It would pull one direction or the other and it would shake and be uncontrollable. The dealer ship replaced the original parts with mopar steering linkage updated kit. This cost me $831. 95 parts and labor, plus $15. 00 shop materials charge. Now that i have received a recall notice np62 / nhtsa 13v-528 from chrysler in january 2014 stating that if i have had it replaced prior to the recall notice to send the original receipts and or other adequate proof of payment to the following address for reimbursement : chrysler customer assistance, p. O. Box 21-8007, auburn hills, mi 48321-8007 attention: reimbursement. Once they receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. I did this and now they are saying they will not reimburse my money for the parts and labor. This vehicle has never been used for anything except a highway truck and has never been off road. |
