| Description of the problem | Takata recall - safety recall - s61/nhtsa 16v-668 this vehicle has issues. The vehicle could not be repaired due to the part not available for unknown date in 2017 . I was told by a manager at chrysler that i could obtain a rental for the entire time at my cost, submit the cost at my choice; daily, weekly, monthly, and get a refund. This was an expensive situation and could have been very costly if i had continued. I was not able financially to continue renting a vehicle to drive to work and pay for the one i could not drive. After 2 weeks of renting, i was contacted by mail, that an agreement had been reached for chrysler to furnish a loaner vehicle from a dealership, so i followed that agreement. In the meantime, i started the time consuming ordeal of trying to trade the jeep, which added to the stress and nightmare. I ended up buying another vehicle, not a chrysler, and the jeep was repossed by financial company. To date, a refund has not been refunded to me for the rental i paid for. Each time i call chrysler, i am put on hold, passed from department to department, then told someone will contact me with an update. The jeep will be sold at an auction, still with safety issues for some other person/family to be put at risk. I am facing tremendous hardship financially now and in the future credit wise due to the jeep being reposed. Now, i am seeking legal advice on how to get a refund? Is there any legal circumstances that can help me with the cost of the financial hardship for the repossion ? |
