| Description of the problem | This pertains to nhtsa 13v-234. I was first notified of this by chrysler in august/2013. Finally in november, i was allowed to bring my jeep in to the dealer for inspection. They confirmed parts must be replaced and they were ordered. Now i am informed by the dealer and a phone call to chrysler, that they will only allow their dealers to obtain replacement parts once every 14 days. I am further informed that there are many people in front of me on the dealer's list so with only being able to order 2 replacement parts per month, it could be months before my jeep is repaired. My wife is afraid of driving the vehicle with this issue looming. Can this safety recall really be treated this way by chrysler? Is there something nhtsa can do? |
