| Description of the problem | Records indicate that the following recall was performed on my 2014 fiat 500l vin [xxx]: "item affected: power train: automatic transmissiondate announced: 03/04/2014description of recall:chrysler group llc (chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 fiat 500l vehicles manufactured april 5, 2013, through january 22, 2014. In certain temperatures, moving the transmission shift lever may have a delayed effect or no effect on selecting a transmission gear." however, the problem is still unresolved. Every day we first start the car, nothing happens when we put it in gear, and we get an electronic statement that the "gear is unavailable". We have to move the gearshift between auto drive, reverse, and manual drive until something works, after which everything works properly. We believe that it is a software issue, and we do not want to have to pay $6,000+ for a replacement transmission! Can this exact same recall be redone at no cost to us? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
