NHTSA Complaint #10839241 — 2015 DODGE JOURNEY

IN DEC 2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ANOTHER NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN I WAS TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THIS IS FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE 2ND NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN JAN16. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 1/4 AND 1/21/16 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE MY NAME AND NUMBER AND PUT ME ON THE WAITING LIST AND CALL ME WHEN THE PART WAS IN. IT IS 3/1/16 AND I HAD NOT HEARD FROM LANDMARK DODGE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH. I CALLED THEM TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART AND GUESS WHAT THEY SAID THEY JUST HAPPEN TO GET 5 IN TODAY! HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT SCHEDULE THE REPAIR UNTIL 4/1/16. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM HERE. 4 MONTHS TO DO A REPAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW WAS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY SAKE. I REALLY FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. ALSO THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED IT FOR A YEAR YET. THE FIRST WAS THE ENGINE BEAUTY COVER WHICH WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THAT PART ON ALSO. WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE WITH A FAULTY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. AND THAT WAS JUST SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT REALLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. AND I DON'T THINK THE DEALER WAS EVEN GOING TO CALL ME BACK AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD.THANK YOU. *TR
