| Description of the problem | Fiat 500 stick shift recall i have contacted chrysler corporate to inquire about my recall and they are stating that they have no parts. If i would like to pay for the repair i could then i could "battle it out" with chrysler for reimbursement. I never received a recall letter. I only found out when i contacted the dealer. I was driving my car when the stick seized up and i couldnt shift my car and it left me stranded in the street. I pushed my car out of harms way and i ended up falling on the street when i lost control of the car pushing it. 2 police officers came to my aid. I contacted the dealer and they had it towed. Then i was advised that there were no parts available/. I have called chrysler corporation but no one will address my complaint. I am without a car, a rental nothing. I was advised 3 times that a fiat manager from corporate would call me. They have not. No one wants to assist me. |
