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 WRANGLERS (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. *TR

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.

THE ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN ONLY ORDER ONE REPAIR KIT EVERY 14 WEEKS FROM CHRYSLER!! WHAT??
