9/12/06 - had electric fan motor assembly replaced while traveling by mcgee tire stores in tallahassee, fl for $535. 9/15/06 - received recall notice F25 from daimler Chrysler for same as repair. 01/02/07 - inspected by dayton andrews daimler Chrysler to verify work was completed. Sent original repair receipt, dayton andrews letter and recall notice with letter to daimler Chrysler requesting reimbursement for repairs. 01/16/06 - received a call from "randi" at daimler Chrysler stating that she revieved our paperwork and determined we were not entitled to reimbursement because we chose not to have Jeep perform the work. She refused to let me speak with her supervisor and stated that she was "empowered by daimler Chrysler to make this decision not to reimburse." The receipt of the recall notice occurred directly following us having to have this work done while traveling to tallahassee, several hundred miles from home and stranded without a working vehicle. While we were having this work performed, we were unaware of this recall as we had not yet received the notification. How do we appeal to daimler Chrysler to reconsider this claim? I have soft copies of all documents, in case "randi" chooses not to return my original documents, which I can produce upon request. Thank you for your help.

The original fan on our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee explode on us while on the road, broke into many pieces and damaged the shroud. We bought an after market fan to fix the problem. End of June 2006 we took it to allen samuels Chrysler Jeep dealer to have it permanently fixed since it acted like there was still a problem. We paid almost $1000. Right before thanksgiving we got a recall notice in the mail from Chrysler on the fan being recalled and for the people that already had the problem fixed to send in the original receipt for reimbursement. So we did mail it all in and we got a phone call from Chrysler denying the claim since hans at allen samuels Chrysler Jeep told them the problem was caused by the after market fan. So I called hans to ask him why he told Chrysler it was caused by the after market fan if we originally came in with the blown up original fan and a broken shroud and thermostat. He said in their system it states that they replaced the after market fan because it was not blowing enough air. Well that is wrong, but unfortunately hans was not willing to be helpful and take care of the matter. He also told me he spoke with my husband when we brought the car in and told him we have to have a new radiator to keep the car from over heating and he was there when the technician told my husband the same thing. The problem is, I was there too and that is not what they told us. About the after market fan, it was replaced because the original fan exploded, if that would not have happened we would have never needed an after market fan and we would not be in this situation, but Chrysler and hans don't see it that way. I believe if there is a recall on a part and we already had it happen to us and we paid out of pocket we should get our money back. We also had a steel bracket on the driver seat brake and Chrysler does not see it as a safety hazard therefore they will not replace it.
