I have received four recall notices on this issue (safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234) starting in September of 2013, and have contacted dealer a number of times who say they have no parts to repair the issue. Obviously simply sending the owner more recall notices, without the ability to repair is a waste of time.

I received my second notice for a recall involving the transmission oil cooler tube which may effect the power steering fluid return tube or transmission itself. I called the dealer to schedule an appointment for the work to be done, I was advised by dealership that I will be placed on the waiting list of over 140 people as the part is on backorder and they are only allowed to order 1 part (for this recall) every 14days. I contacted Chrysler and was advised this is correct, they limit the part to dealerships since it must be distributed evenly nationwide. When I asked, "why the part isn't being made in mass production to accommodate the need required to fulfill this recall?", Chrysler did not have an answer. I'd like to know how the consumer is supposed to feel safe in their vehicle that is known to have a problem (hence the recall) when the manufacturer doesn't feel it necessary to supply the parts needed to fix the vehicles. A recall doesn't do anyone any good if the parts aren't readily available to correct the problems. This seems more like a stall tactic from the manufacturer to renege on their responsibility.

I received a notification a few months ago of a recall on the transmission oil cooler tube which could lead to a crash. I contacted my dealer & have been waiting for an appointment to address this recall. As of my last conversation with him a few days ago, he informed me that it would be at the very least 9 months before he could schedule an appointment, that he was not receiving the parts from Jeep. In the interim my 17 year old daughter is driving an unsafe vehicle which Jeep itself issued a recall for and they are apparently not honoring this recall, and are unconcerned that they are putting their customers in danger.

I was notified of a safety recall regarding the transmission oil cooler tube notice N28 back in September 2013. I immediately contacted multiple dealers to try to schedule an appointment to have the repair done. I was told there is a waiting list because parts are not available. It has now been almost 8 months since we tried to get our Jeep repaired. I asked the status numerous times without any luck of getting any answer except the parts are not in and we have you on the list. Your help in holding Chrysler Jeep accountable for any damages including personal injury and death. I plan on filing a law suit in the near future and will subpoena the national traffic safety on this topic if not resolved within a month of this submission. Ignoring this request puts us at risk very similar to the ignition switch recall GM is going through right now and that several people died. I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
