Safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 - Chrysler corporation is not supplying the parts to dealers to complete the repairs necessary to prevent fires & crashes (per the recall notice). This is unacceptable. The waiting list for parts is very long and Chrysler reported to me today that each dealer gets 1 repair kit every 14 days. If someone does the math, these means that it will take over 30 months to supply the parts for the necessary repairs, given the number of recalled Wrangler (1800,000) and the number of dealers in the us. This is unacceptable and the NHTSA has a responsibility to the traveling public to ensure that recalls such as N28 are completely in a timely manner.

Received safety recall N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 and scheduled appointment for repairs (as requested on notification) at flagship Chrysler dealership, bayamon, pr on 14nov2013. The mechanic confirmed the need for replacement of power steering return tube and the transmission oil cooler tube but the parts were not available. According to service rep the parts were ordered. On 04dec2013 called the dealership for status of order to be told that parts could arrive after 1 month but according to service rep the parts department could not tell when will they be available and I should wait until receiving communication by email. I contacted Chrysler corporation (pr office) on 05dec2013 through 1-800-853-1403 and service rep did not have information available related to the recall, took my vehicle's VIN # and agreed to call back. As of 14dec2013 neither the dealership or Chrysler corporation has contacted me with expected date for parts' availability. Since the service date above I received the second notification to take my car for repairs.
- Dorado, PR, USA
Received 1st safety recall notice, N28/NHTSA 13V-234, from Chrysler group 09/10/2013. I immediately called the local dealership (bay Dodge, panama city beach, fl) and was told to call back at a later date because the parts to repair the issue were not in stock and they were waiting for the inventory. 2nd safety recall notice received 12/07/2013. I called the same dealership on 12/09/2013 and was told I would be added to the "wait" list...that I was number 45 and could expect to wait a couple years for the parts to arrive at the dealership. The issue is that the dealership can only order one repair kit every 14 weeks from Chrysler!! what"? so, if the transmission oil cooler tube begins to leak it may cause "damage to the transmission and a loss of transmission function which may increase the risk of a crash"...and it is ok to make me wait years for the repair??"

After receiving safety recall N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 from Chrysler, I contacted my local dealership (from whom I purchased the vehicle) requesting to get the transmission oil cooler tube serviced. They informed me that the part needed to be ordered (1) at a time with at least (7) days between orders. As a result, they said my vehicle cannot be serviced for 20+ weeks, putting myself and my family in jeopardy during this time. While I understand it is not the dealerships fault, this systems failure must be addressed immediately.

- Garden City , NY, USA
I received a recall notice in the mail about my transmission oil cooler tube for my 2012 Jeep Wrangler (recall number N28). I contacted my local Jeep dealer, [xxx] in belleville Illinois. The service department stated that they could not do this for 10 weeks or more due to Chrysler not releasing parts. I also have another dealer in the area and I contacted them. They took my information and put me on a waiting list at least for the parts but still stated it would be several weeks before parts could come in. This is totally unacceptable! I have a newborn child that travels in this vehicle and obviously there is a problem if there is a recall and the company cannot even fix their product! something needs to be done about this! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

- Apoka, FL, USA
After receiving a recall notice (safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube) in the mail, I called my local dealership (clear lake Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, houston, tx) to schedule a service appointment to remedy the possible problem explained in the recall notice. Unfortunately, I was told that this dealership is only receiving approx. 1 - 2 of the parts needed for this problem per week and they have a list of customers for those parts already long enough that will take approx. A year to fill. I was told that I should continue to call the dealership approx. Once a week and see if they, by any chance, received enough of the parts to fix my vehicle. I find this unacceptable! I do not want to wait a year to get my vehicle fixed and feel that I (nor anyone else) should not have to wait that long to get a possible defect in my vehicle taken care of. Are there any other options for me" what can I do to get my vehicle taken care of immediately" I do not want to wait to get this problem taken care of and risk the possibility of the problem materializing and causing an accident that could result in my vehicle being destroyed or, even worse, injuring myself or others! I appreciate any help or advice you could give me in this matter! thank you.

The Jeep auto to manual shifting is way too sensitive and will down shift without driver input to lower gears causing very dangerous sudden reduction in speed. Driving down the road at roughly 65 mph and the Jeep auto trans went into 1st gear by itself and almost stopped the vehicle on the freeway!!! to recover the car had to be put into neutral than put back into drive.

As I went to my appointment for a motor vehicle safety recall on my 2013 Jeep, I was told my dealer that they could only get 1 recall part a week and it would be at least 7 weeks before they would call me to make an appointment for my recall. I feel that if a vehicle is being recalled for a safety issue that more than 1 transmission oil cooler tube a week should be available to the dealers. In the meantime, I am apprehensive about driving my Jeep wondering if this issue will arise and how it will affect me and my vehicle.
- Whitefield, NH, USA
I received a safety recall N28 / NHTSA 13V-234. Transmission oil cooler tube. Called rick hendrick Jeep in charleston, SC to schedule repair. I was told that they can only get 1 part every 14 days and there are 80 people ahead of me. Doing the math that means they will get 26 parts over 365 days, so it will be 3 years before they can fix the problem. Unacceptable.
