| Description of the problem | I received a recall notification in september, 2013 warning that the transmission oil cooler tube may come into contact with the power steering fluid return tube, causing a leak and possibly a failure or crash. The vehicle has been to the autonation dealership on 116th ave. In bellevue, wa a total of three times since september 2013 to address this issue. It is now almost march 2014 and it still has not been fixed. They are placing all the blame on chrysler for not being able to supply the parts. I called chrysler this morning to confirm the insane waiting time for the parts to remedy the recall. The idea that it takes in excess of 5 months just to get parts for a serious recall issue is preposterous, and the lack of action negligible. |
