The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 13V234000 (power train, steering) had surpassed a reasonable amount of time for repair. The dealer stated that the part was not yet available and that the manufacturer was only distributing one repair kit per week. The contact was number 30 on the waiting list which meant he would have to wait an additional 30 weeks to have the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I have now received three recall notices on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. These notices describe a problem with the transmission that could result in crash if not fixed timely. The problem is that Chrysler corporation is not providing the dealerships with the parts necessary to fix the problem. Why would Chrysler not provide the necessary parts to fix a problem before a crash or major transmission problem. The knowledge of this recall and my inability to get it fixed in spite of several attempts to schedule the required repairs at my local dealers has caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety as there is always lurking in the back of my mind the possibility of having a catastrophic mechanical problem resulting in a sudden crash and possibly injury or death to my family and me. Please resolve these issues immediately.

  • 3,000 miles
After numerous attempts to have a recall regarding the transmission oil cooling tube repaired I am writing to complain regarding Chrysler corporations extremely slow response to provide parts to my local dealer. After receiving the recall notice, I contacted my local dealer for the repair at the 3,500 mile service. I was told that the parts were not available. During the 7,000 mile service visit I was told that the parts were being rationed by Chrysler and my parts would be ordered. During the required alignment visit at 8,000 miles, I was told that there were 16 people in front of me. I next contacted Chrysler to complain and was told that they were aware of the problem and were trying to rectify the situation. I next emailed my dealer to express my frustration and was told that my email would be shared with the dealership hierarchy. Two days ago I received my third recall notice and emailed the dealership again to see if the part has arrived with no response.

Received another recall notice regarding the transmission oil cooler tube. Had the vehicle inspected on Jan 20, 2014. Called the Jeep dealership and was told again that they are receiving one part per week for the recall. The dealership was working on vehicle #17 and I was #42 in the waiting list. At one part being ordered per week, it will be at least another 25 weeks before I expect to hear that the part will be available.

This is complaint related to safety recall notice N28/NHTSA 13V-234 (transmission oil cooler tube). Last year I had received a safety recall notice N28/NHTSA 13V-234 from Chrysler. As instructed in recall notice I scheduled an appointment with dealer- magnussens Dodge Chrysler Jeep, located at 1901 grass valley hwy, auburn, ca 95603, ph (530)885-2900. On 02/05/2014, I brought my vehicle in to get safety recall repairs done. Mr. Brian evans #1028, who is a service advisor with magnussen, stated they did not have a required part. I found this situation rather strange. Two weeks before my appointment I was reassured that part would be there. Since I was already there with my vehicle I brought to his attention unrelated to safety recall notice mechanical issue (possible squeaking belt noise). After inspection of my 2013 Jeep with 10K on odometer, they told me that it needs a new water pump? they replaced, free of charge, a water pump (invoice 189828). They hold my Jeep in their shop for two days. Communications with service advisor/department were horrible. I have to spend significant amount of time just to locate and contact their service manager in order to know when my vehicle will be ready for pick up. When I finally picked my Jeep up on 02/07/2014 [xxx]. told me again that required transmission oil cooler tube would be there soon. He promised this replacement part "?will be reserved for my vehicle?? and he will contact me as soon as he gets it??. here we are in the beginning of month may?. I am still waiting to hear from magnussens Dodge Chrysler Jeep. All my attempts to contact said service advisor went nowhere. Moreover, thanks to magnussens I am driving this unsafe Jeep every day. As of today no part replacement mandated by Chrysler recall was done. Now what" information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
