| Description of the problem | Reported a braking problem to jeep dealership happened on 3 occasions on the parkway, fortunately i was able to control the braking by downshifting my jeep. Went to the dealership immediately thinking my jeep needed brake pads... Which i paid to replace anyway to be on the safe side. There was a brake recall from chrysler on 2012 jeeps gc & also reported the breaking problem to jeep headquarters on 2 different occasions. I was told i would receive a recall notice, my reports are on file. It's almost 2 months & i still have not received a recall notice from chrysler i don't understand what is taking chrysler so long to send out recall notices when a braking problem is at stake & has been reported to chrysler & the jeep dealership. I also checked with my dealership today ( apr 22nd) to see if chrysler perhaps has sent the recall to them via messaging ?????????? No luck chrysler has my vin # & report on file, however as of today i have not received a recall notice. Does chrysler wait until someone has an accident before they send out the recall notices ?????????????? |
