Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 1,745 miles
Fca recall. Received a notice of brake recall that could cause brakes to fail and crash, without any advanced warning. Called Jeep dealer who told me they are unwilling at this time to perform the repair, because they are giving preference to their in stock, unsold units. Dealer (fred martin superstore) refused to offer an appointment to me for this recall and said to call back in October. I contacted the manufacturer (Jeep/fca) and they called the dealer and confirmed the same. I called another Jeep dealer and was able to schedule this recall service, but the soonest they could get me in was September 10th, 2018. This all took five hours of my time and I am forced to continue to drive without this recall being performed, and a safety risk, for at least 20 more days.
