| Description of the problem | The dash gauges on my 99 jeep wrangler ceased to function and i found the nhtsa web site had a recall (no 99v117000) which described my problem. I went to my local jeep dealer (ancira winton jeep - hwy 281, sa, tx) and they ran my jeep wrangler model on their web site and gave me a printout which stated there was no recall information for my vehicle and they would not repair the problem without approval from chrysler. I have contacted chrysler and they have assigned the case no 16611542 for my inquiry. The nhtsa recall documents outline the problem clearly and chrysler has acknowledged their responsibility to repair the item. My vin (xp423303) falls within the range of identified vehicles (xp401783-xp432081), but my greater concern is that chrysler-jeep does not acknowledge this recall item in their operations. I would appreciate your assistance or referral in resolving this problem - thanks! In advance mike buonaugurio, lt col, usaf. |
