| Description of the problem | I received a safety recall notice n49/nhtsa 13v-529 in january 2014. I called flower motor company in montrose co. I was informed by service department that parts were not available yet. Called back on february 27, 2014 and was told that flower motors could order 1 part every 14 days. I was put on a waiting list of over 100 people. I called chrysler the same day and confirmed that they are limiting small dealerships to 1 part every 14 days and large dealerships to 1 part every 7 days. I believe this is a safety problem and chrysler is not dealing with it in a responsible manner. I feel that chrysler is more interested in not spending money than they are in the safety of their customers. I hope you can rectify this safety concern. |
