| Description of the problem | The transfer case on my vehicle (2007 jeep srt) went out. I took to two repair shops and dealer and every place indicated that this has been a long standing issue with these vehicles. I then filed a complaint with chrysler and the case manager indicated that my complaint would stay internal and could not advise me on where to file a complaint for a safety or mechanical defect. I then did some research and it appears it should go the nhtsa. With such a common defect and with such a large scale issue (dealership has part for sale for $4000-$6000 not including labor) i do feel this should be considered a recall. |
