Power train, Dec 23, 2013
IN AUGUST 2013 I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL N28 / NHTSA / 13C-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUB FOR MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTIFICATION IN OCTOBER 2013. AFTER RECEIVING THE SECOND NOTIFICATION I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY JEEP AND WAS TOLD I WAS THIRD ON THEIR LIST TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED. MY SALES REP. EXPLAINED THE REASON FOR THE DELAY WAS CHRYSLER REQUIRES THE DEALERSHIP SEND BACK THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THEY REPLACED BEFORE CHRYSLER WOULD SEND OUT A NEW ONE. HE INFORMED ME I WAS THIRD ON THE LIST FOR JEEPS EFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND ONCE THEY REACHED MY NAME AND RECEIVE A NEW TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. IN EARLY DECEMBER 2013, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND I'M STILL THIRD ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT. I ASKED WHY I WAS STILL THIRD, HE COULD NOT PROVIDE ME AN ANSWER, BUT INFORMED ME HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT, OVER TWO WEEKS LATER STILL NO ANSWER OR NOTIFICATION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE CHRYSLER IS FOLLOWING, HOWEVER WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT SEEMS RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE 8/13 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE REPLACED UNDER SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234. LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MANAHAWKIN KEEPS TELLING ME NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER HAS BEEN TELLING ME THE SAME. I UNDERSTAND MY TRANSMISSION IS AT RISK WHICH MAY INCREASE MY RISK OF A CRASH. I THINK 4 MONTHS WAIT TIME IS EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT. *TR
Steering, Power train, Engine, Dec 10, 2013
THIS PERTAINS TO NHTSA 13V-234. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS BY CHRYSLER IN AUGUST/2013. FINALLY IN NOVEMBER, I WAS ALLOWED TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY CONFIRMED PARTS MUST BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE ORDERED. NOW I AM INFORMED BY THE DEALER AND A PHONE CALL TO CHRYSLER, THAT THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW THEIR DEALERS TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS ONCE EVERY 14 DAYS. I AM FURTHER INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE DEALER'S LIST SO WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO ORDER 2 REPLACEMENT PARTS PER MONTH, IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE MY JEEP IS REPAIRED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE LOOMING. CAN THIS SAFETY RECALL REALLY BE TREATED THIS WAY BY CHRYSLER? IS THERE SOMETHING NHTSA CAN DO? *TR

RE: SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER STEERING FLUID TUBE WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (BILLY BENDER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH WITHOUT NOTICE THAT THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ORDERED SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN TO CHECK ON PARTS. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WAS CURRENTLY 9TH ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE THE SAFETY RECALL PARTS. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER JEEP WAS ONLY SENDING THE DEALER ONE (1) SET OF PARTS PER MONTH SO IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLES' SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO GO 2 MONTHS WITHOUT REPAIR LET ALONE FOR CHRYSLER TO ONLY SUPPLY ONLY ONE PART PER MONTH TO DEALERS WHICH WILL ADD 9 ADDITIONAL MONTHS (SINCE I'M 9TH ON THE WAITING LIST) TO GET A SAFETY RECALL FIXED!!!! *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I WAS MOVING THE SHIFTER TO REVERSE AND HEARD A CLUNK SOUND. IT WAS NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT. IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF SPACE AND MOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER TO DRIVE AND HEARD ANOTHER CLUNKING NOISE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. AS I TRIED TO PICK UP SPEED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE RPM'S WENT HIGHER AND HIGHER. WE DROVE THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT.
