  • 51,341 miles
On 10/1/2014 I took my Grand Caravan into my Dodge deal for repair related to a recall notice (P25 / NHTSA 14V-234). The recall was about a fire hazard if a switch got wet. I was informed that due to a parts shortage they could only disconnect a switch at that time and that they could not replace the switch because of a parts shortage. That was over 2 months ago (67 days). Upon calling the deal this morning, I was informed that they still do not have the part (switch) and have no idea when they will get the part to make the repair. When I first was notified of this recall back in June or July of 2014, I was informed that there was a parts shortage, so I intentionally waited what I believed to be a reasonable period of time before I attempted to get this recall repaired. I have now received a second notice from Chrysler telling me to get it repaired. I can see no reason for the delay of parts for this repair.
