Received safety recall notice N28, NHTSA 13V23400, and contact dealer in Michigan city, in 46360 same day to get repair done. I have since contact the dealer in mc 3 more times and they still do not have the part (transmission oil cooler tube) in stock to do the repair. Advise me it is not receiving the tubes from Chrysler and they will call me back the next day. They never call me back and I have to keep contacting them only to get the run around that they do not have the tube in stock.

Wrangler 6-cyl

Safety re-call notice: The transmission oil cooler tube on the vehicle may inadvertently come in contact with the power steering fluid return tube. This tube to tube contact could eventually cause the transmission oil cooler tube to develop a wear hole and leak. A loss of transmission fluid could cause transmission damage and if the leaking fluid comes in contact with an ignition source, cause an underbody fire. The service shop has scheduled my appointment all the way until January 2, 2014. This is my only mode of transportation and I fear for an accident to occur if I wait too long.

I got a recall letter, ( safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube ) which says could cause risk of crash. The dealer says they can only order one part every 7 days and I won't be able to get it fixed for 4 months. Is this true and is it safe to drive?

I responded to a safety recall ( N29/NHTSA/ 13V-234 for a defective transmission oil cooler tube) received in Sept. 2013. I called the dealer and was told the part was not in stock, but would be ordered for me. Several weeks later I called again, still no part. The parts man informed me that the part was "being rationed" due to parts shortage - and that I would be contacted in the future. I asked if I was "in line" by my date of call, he said that I was. Still no contact. I do have a mysterious leak showing up on the garage floor - could it be this problem? my Jeep is a 2012 and has shown no leaks before.

Months ago we received a notice that there was a safety recall on the transmission in our 2012 Jeep Wrangler. My husband took it to our local Jeep dealership, [xxx] and they confirm the line had to be replaced. They said the part was on back order and it would be a month or so. They are receiving approximately one part a week and instead of repairing customers' vehicles, they are putting them on the Jeep Wrangler that are on their lot for sale. They do not care that they are putting their customers in danger. I contacted Chrysler directly and they said that there was nothing they could do to help me. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Received 2 recall notices for transmission oil cooler tube, first one on 9/30/13. The second notice told me to contact my Chrysler dealership immediately to set up an appointment for part replacement. Have called dealership twice since receiving notices and each time get told parts are not available yet. Why are they sending these notices out to us owners if the parts are not available?

Recall was made on the vehicle indicating the oil cooler tube may come in contact with the power steering fluid return tube. Said they will replace the power steering return tube. Dealership indicates that only 1 part is being released every 7 days and it will take months to get the part in. Called Chrysler who was of no help and said to be patient. This is very unacceptable but typical for Chrysler.
