RECEIVED NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION EARLY JUNE TO HAVE INSPECTED TO SEE IF NEW BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM WAS NEEDED OR JUST SHIELD. DEALER INFORMED ONLY SHIELD WAS NEEDED. DROPPED VEHICLE OFF WITH AN APPOINTMENT BEFORE A ROAD TRIP ON AUGUST 12, 2014. I WAS INFORMED AFTER (AROUND 8/16/14) I RETURNED FROM ROAD TRIP THAT BRAKE BOOSTER AND CYLINDER WERE ACTUALLY NEEDED AND MORE TIME WAS NEEDED FOR REPAIR. DEALER WOULD NOT GIVE ME RENTAL AS NONE WERE AVAILABLE. FINALLY GOT RENTAL MIDDLE OF FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER TAKING OFF WORK AGAIN. PARTS DELIVERY ETA EXPEDITED TO 9/1/14. RECEIVED CALL 8/28/14 INDICATING VEHICLE REPAIR DONE. I WAS REQUIRED TO RETURN RENTAL BEFORE I COULD VERIFY WORK ON VEHICLE. RETURNED RENTAL, TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE DEALER'S PARKING LOT. SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THIS IS NORMAL WITH THE RECALL REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DISAGREE SO ADVISOR HAS TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT AND AGREE WITH ME THAT IT ISN'T NORMAL. I AM INFORMED ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE BLED A FEW MORE TIMES. HAD TO GO HOME AGAIN AND RETURN LATER TO PICK UP VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS OK. COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR PARTS, HAD TO TAKE OFF MANY DAYS OF WORK, AND DEALER HAD NO EMPATHY FOR SITUATION. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO HAVING TO FIGHT FOR A RENTAL. NOW, A FEW DAYS AFTER HAVING RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK, VEHICLE HAS LOUD TICK ON STARTUP AND WHILE DRIVING LOUDER THAN RADIO, BUT I COULD NOT REPLICATE AT DEALER. SERVICE ADVISOR DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME ABOUT TICK AND I WAS TOLD HEMI ENGINES TYPICALLY TICK. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST VEHICLE OR MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A HEMI ENGINE. IT ISN'T NORMAL. NO INTEREST IN SERVICING VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS MAKING THE TICK SOUND. I'VE TRIED TWICE AND I CAN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN AT DEALER. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER IN REFERENCE TO A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS SPECIFIC TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER IN THAT THE SHELL MAY INGEST WATER IN WET CONDITIONS (RAIN, SNOW, FOG, WASHING THE CAR, ETC.) WHICH WOULD TOTALLY DISABLE ANY BRAKING FUNCTION FOR THE VEHICLE. THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO TAKE TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR WHICH I DID MONTHS AGO. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE PARTS NECESSARY TO REPAIR HAVE NOT BEEN DELIVERED AND EVERY DEALERSHIP I CHECKED WITH HAVE A 200+ WAITING LIST OF CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR REPAIR PARTS TO BE DELIVERED. I'VE CALL CHRYSLER'S SUPPORT LINE LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET IS THAT PARTS ARE ON THE WAY, WHICH IS THE SAME RESPONSE I'VE RECEIVED FOR MONTHS! WHO DO THEY HAVE MAKING THESE PARTS THAT IS TAKING SO LONG, AND ISN'T LOSING ALL BRAKING CAPABILITIES IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO MOVE UP ON THE PRIORITY LIST??? *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER IN MAY. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP IN EARLY JUNE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT RECEIVING PARTS TO FIX THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND I HAD TO GO ON A 12 PAGE WAITING LIST. I CALLED TODAY TO FIND OUT THE STATUS (2 MONTHS LATER) AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ME ON THE LIST AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD PUT ME AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE - WHEN A RECALL IS MADE, THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO SERVICE THESE VEHICLES AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE A BETTER WAY OF KEEPING TRACK OF THINGS THAN A HANDWRITTEN LIST. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT ISN'T A PROBLEM SINCE IT'S NOT YET FREEZING OUT, BUT IF I HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS AGAIN AS I ALREADY HAVE - IT WILL BE WINTER AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

I RECEIVED A BRAKE BOOSTER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE - P14 NHTSA 14V-154. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AUGUST 4TH TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR ([XXX], TRAVERSE CITY, MI). THE DEALER SERVICE REP INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS, ONLY GET MAYBE THREE PARTS A WEEK, AND SAID I COULD BE ON A WAITING LIST WHICH NOW HAS OVER 30 PEOPLE. I SAID AT THAT RATE IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THE SAFETY RECALL IS COMPLETED. HE SAID HE HAD NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE REPAIR MIGHT HAPPEN AND AGREED THAT THEY (CHRYSLER) WERE NOT BEING VERY RESPONSIVE. I GOT ON A WAITING LIST AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME IF THEY GET ANY PARTS. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A SAFETY RECALL IF THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER CANNOT PROVIDE ANY SERVICE OR COMMITMENT? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF ON 5/29/14 IN REFERENCE TO BRAKE ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED, BUT AS OF 7/18/14 THE DEALER CLAIMS THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER AND HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.
