| Description of the problem | Fiat sent a safety recall for manual transaxle clutch pedal in november, and again in late january but we moved to alaska last summer and now live in juneau, alaska which is only accessible by boat or plane and is 500 miles from the nearest fiat dealer--either in bellingham, wa, or in anchorage, ak nhtsa recall site says that recall was issued may 10 2016; had we received a recall notice in may or june, we could have had the repairs done in albuquerque, as we did not leave albuquerque until july. There is a chrysler dealership in juneau, and i called their repair shop number, but did not receive a call back. I don't know if fiat could send the part and instructions to them to do the repair or not and fca did not offer that as a solution; they want me to incur the expense of ferry plus fuel etc. And i'm not sure that should be my responsibility |
