| Description of the problem | Jeep put out a recall notice on the brake booster for this vehicle in july 2014. The local dealership, family chrysler jeep, still, as of 9/9/2014 does not have the parts to correct the brake booster issue. The dealership attendant today 9/9/2014, [xxx], (male) stated that i would have to call back some time the end of september to hopefully get an appointment in october. This is not a an acceptable time frame when it comes to break failure. We have a newborn baby that must travel in this vehicle. Speaking today directly with the chrysler group recall center 800-853-1403 they do not have an eta on when the dealerships will have the necessary parts to fix the breaks. Over 2 months and still no parts from the chrysler group?? Totally unacceptable by any standard. When i asked the call center rep to transfer me to a supervisor i was told, this call does not warrant a supervisor. Serious. I hope they did record this phone call today to verify that i was told "this phone call does not warrant a supervisor". After a bit of a talking to and demanding that the rep tell me "no" i have been on hold for 25. 03 minutes on my timer on the phone. I am sending this at the same time i am on hold with the chrysler group recall center. Finally told that a supervisor will call me back in 1-2 business days. Noted to the rep that today is tuesday, september 9 10:27 am and i look forward to hearing from a supervisor. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
