NHTSA Complaint #10628062 — 2004 JEEP LIBERTY

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE CHRYSLER RECALL N46/NHSTA 13V-252. I RECEIVED TWO (2) RECALLS -ONE LAST DEC. 2013 AND IN AUGUST 2014 FOR THE REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT. I CALLED 2JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE ONLY PROVIDED 5 TRAILER HITCHES AND HAD A WAITING LIST OF 55. I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN MID-SEPTEMBER. THIS RECALL IS A JOKE. I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL ASST. CENTER AND SPOKE WITH TAYLOR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRAILER HITCHES WERE STILL BEING MANUFACTURED AND THAT THE HITCHES AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WAS TOLD WHEN I GOT THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND THEY ARE NOT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS NOT ACTING IN GOOD FAITH TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND HAS NO INTENTION OF REPLACING THE RECALLED ITEMS. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE JEEPS IN QUESTION TO DISAPPEAR AND GO TO JUNK YARDS. THEY HAVE NO INTENTION IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT IS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO FIX. I FEEL RIGHT NOW THAT THE END RESULT OF THIS RECALL THAT ONLY 10% OF THE JEEPS IN QUESTION WILL ACTUALLY BE REPAIRED. I HAVE NEVER GONE THROUGH SUCH A LONG, DECEITFUL RECALL BEFORE. I HAVE ZERO FAITH IN CHRYSLER DOING THE RIGHT THING WITHOUT ANOTHER GOVERNMENTAL COURT ORDER. *TR
