| Description of the problem | We own a 2007 ram 2500 mega cab vin [xxx] and a 2002 jeep liberty vin [xxx] that both have an outstanding recall on the air bag systems. We received the recall notices several months ago notifying us of the recall but that the parts are not available to make the repair. We understand that there is a massive settlement against fca regarding recall issues but neither of our vehicles are included in this. The liberty is my 17 year old daughters car that also had to have a hitch installed to avoid her vehicle from exploding in a rear impact collision. We do not feel that we should have to wait for repairs to a vehicle that is improperly manufactured and could cause injury to our daughter thru no fault of her own. The same can be said about the ram since it is used as a family vehicle for vacations and as my husband's daily driver. We would like to request that an investigation into either getting the recalls done immediately or including these vehicles in the current buy back settlement. We have owned several chrysler products over the last 20 years and am very disappointed in how the recent recalls have been handled. The recall notices seem completely useless if the parts are not available to make the required repairs. Not driving our vehicles is not an option and selling a car with this type of outstanding recall is not feasible as it reduces the value. The jeep liberty is our highest priority in getting the needed repairs or including it in the buy back program as we are greatly concerned about our daughter's safety. Thank you for your time and consideration. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
