I brought the vehicle to the local dealer for the trailer hitch recall 2 years ago. I have been continuously told parts are not available. Last Tuesday 12-16 I forced the issue with the dealer for an appointment for Friday 12-19. When I went to pick up the vehicle, I was told I don't qualify because the vehicle has some corrosion. If the recall was performed when it should have been, I would have been covered. This appears to be a way for Jeep to shirk its obligations. If there is any repair needed before performing the recall, it should be Jeep's responsibility, not mine...updated 05/14/15 updated 9/11/2017

Recently I heard on the news that only 3% of recalls have been repaired. Fyi. On 10/22/ 14 I called sea view Jeep in ocean, NJ for recall repair. I was told since I didn't buy my Jeep from them I would be put on a list as they were doing repairs their customers first. Thinking, I called Chrysler Corp.on 10/23/14 and spoke with [xxx] who made a 3 way call to sea view and confirmed my conversation that I would have to be put on a list. [xxx], from Chrysler Corp, set up an appoint with another dealer who accommodated me very well. Still being on sea view list since 10/22/14, I still have not been called. I being a senior citizen living on social security and a very small pension, bring this incident to your attention in the event there is a whistle blower reward due me or at least a reward from Chrysler corporation.
