I have received several notices about the N28 transmission oil cooler tube recall and have not had any luck at the dealer getting my recall repairs completed. Each time I go in for service I ask about the status and each time I'm told there are no parts available. I was also told that the parts for the recall are on back order and the dealer only gets 2 kits in each month. I was told that I am in line for the repair but they could not tell me where I am in line or how long it will be before the repair is even possible.

Jeep issued a recall last July 7, 2013, over 10 months ago, regarding the transmission oil cooler tube, safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234. I have attempted numerous times since then to set up an appointment at my local Jeep dealer, boerne Dodge Chrysler Jeep in boerne tx, to have this recall performed and I have been told each time that they do not have the parts to do this recall. They went on to state that they have received, and continue to receive, a very limited number of the parts required for this recall and that I should put my name on their waiting list for the recall parts. I placed my name on the list 6 months ago but have yet to receive a phone call. I called the Chrysler group recall center at 800-853-1403 and the customer service rep told me the same thing the dealer did, that they had very limited parts and that they were unable to do anything about it at this time. I would request that this matter be looked into, the recall states that this defect may increase the risk of a crash. Since I planned on leaving on an extended trip in this vehicle I am hesitant to take that increased risk. Thank you

"safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube" - another complaint regarding patent disregard for consumer safety by Chrysler. I have been waiting 14 months for resolution to this issue. The manufacturer direct me to the dealership. The dealership blames the manufacturer. NHTSA bears responsibility as well as they apparently are failing to compel Chrysler to perform. I certainly do not want anyone to suffer injury due to this defect. Can nothing be done to accelerate the repair process?

I have been regularly receiving a notice titled "safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube" from Chrysler many times for the past year. The dealership has not made any attempt to perform the recall even though I have often tried to scheduled it. They continually tell me that they cannot get the required parts from the factory, but when they do they will call me. I called the factory recall assistance center (1-800-853-1403) listed on the recall notice and the person who answered gave me the same story; "Chrysler is having trouble getting the required parts from their supplier". I am certain Chrysler has the ability to build anything, so the fact that they say they can't get some simple hoses built is a ridiculous excuse. It is clear that Chrysler is not responding sincerely to this NHTSA recall. Perhaps, like the Chevy ignition key fob issue, cost vs safety is more important to yet another american automobile manufacturer. Note that the Chrysler notice did say that if the dealer fails to remedy the defect within a reasonable time to file a complaint at www.safercar.gov and this form is the only complaint form I could access from that site. If this is the wrong form please redirect my complaint to the correct location.

No accident...yet. I have received 3 recall notices in the mail from Chrysler regarding the transmission oil cooler tube - safety recall N28/NHTSA/ 13V-234 over the course of a year. With each notice I have called the superstition Jeep Chrysler dealership where I bought my vehicle. Each time I am told they would have to order the part and then call me back to schedule the repair. There is never a call back. With today's 3rd notice, I was again told the part was not in. This time they said the problem is that only a very limited number of parts have been shipped out at a time. It seems wrong of them to hold back on shipping the parts if they know their is a potential risk to owners. Per the recall notice, I am issuing this complaint.
