I HAVE RECEIVED 3 RECALL NOTICES REGARDING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (NHTSA 14V154, 14V530 AND 14V391). AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE 14V154 I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER IN BOISE IDAHO) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS INFORMATION WAS REPEATED IN SEPTEMBER. HAVING NOW RECEIVED 3 RECALLS I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE ALL 3 RESOLVED AT THE SAME TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRIED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE, I'M TOLD THAT, WHILE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, THEY WILL NOT ORDER THE PARTS UNTIL I BRING MY VEHICLE IN FIRST. WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED THE VIN NUMBER. HOWEVER, THEY NOT ONLY HAVE MY VEHICLE INFORMATION ON RECORD AND I HAD THE VIN AVAILABLE DURING THE CALL. I ASKED TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE ORDER ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "POLICY" TO SCHEDULE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PRESENT AND ONLY THEN WILL THEY ORDER PARTS. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS EXCEEDED THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AND IS CREATING AN UNREASONABLE BARRIER TO COMPLETING THE SERVICES. *TR

WE RECEIVED BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL NOTICE (P14/NHTSA 14V-154) BACK IN JULY 2014. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. NOW 6 MONTHS HAVE PASSED. DEALER REPORTS THAT "THEY ARE WORKING ON CUSTOMERS WHO RESPONDED IN JUNE, 2014 AND WILL GET TO US AS CHRYSLER RELEASES MORE PARTS."
