Description of the problem | This is a complaint about recall iiv350000. Dealership inspected tie rod end unbeknownst to me about recall in 2012. The tie rod broke in april 2013. Chrysler stated they fulfilled the recall requirement with the inspection. The failure occurred after the inspection. This seems hardly acceptable as a failure can result after a visual inspection, unless some type of non-destructive testing was complete. Chrysler charged my extended warranty for the deductible for the repair. |
