NHTSA Complaint #10743524 — 2014 DODGE DURANGO

THIS IS A COMPLAINT CONCERNING THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN SO FAR TO GET THE ALTERNATOR RECALL (NHTSA 14V-634 REPAIRED BY OUR DEALERSHIP, BREWBAKER MOTORS IN MONTGOMERY, AL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE SHORTLY AFTER THE 1ST OF THE YEAR. WE WERE TOLD FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER. I CALLED AGAIN IN MAY AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE GETTING BOTH PARTS IN IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THE PARTS MANAGER DID CALL ME AROUND THE 1ST WEEK IN JUNE TO SET THE APPOINTMENT. WE HAD 2 RECALLED PARTS, AIRBAG AND THE ALTERNATOR. WE TOOK THE CAR IN, LEFT IT OVERNIGHT, PICKED IT UP THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY THE AIRBAG PART HAD BEEN REPLACED. WHEN QUESTIONED THEY SAID THE ALTERNATOR PART WAS NOT IN (AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID BOTH PARTS WERE IN), AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY WERE IN. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM THEM I CALLED ON 07/23/2015 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS IN BUT IT WOULD BE THE END OF AUGUST BEFORE THEY COULD GET TO THE REPAIR OF MY CAR. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A REPAIR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SHUT DOWN MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, OR START AN ELECTRICAL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
