MY ISSUES RELATES TO EXISTING RECALL # N45/ NHTSA 13V-252. THE RECALL INDICATES THAT VEHICLES WITHOUT A HITCH WILL HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED BY THE DEALER OR IF A HITCH WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD THEN CHRYSLER WILL PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST. MY QUESTION IS...WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE HITCH AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT? WHY ARE THEY (WE) EXCLUDED FROM ANY REIMBURSEMENT? WHY WERE WE NOT CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL EVALUATION? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE TYPICAL CORPORATE RUNAROUND BLAMING THEIR INABILITY TO OFFER REIMBURSEMENT ON THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE. LOOKS LIKE THE BALLS IN YOUR COURT. *TR
