In 2012 we received our first recall notice from Chrysler group llc. I responded by setting up an inspection appointment with them. They later cancelled the appointment. In 2013 I received the 2nd recall notice. I set up another inspection, they inspected the vehicle and told me that they did not have the part on hand to make the repair. They would order the part and call me. They never did call back. I called them later that month to check on the part and they stated they never received the repair part. Now I get a third recall notice. This is a company vehicle that Transport many passengers throughout the year. We are indangering lives. I have expressed this to Chrysler and they never respond with a repair. Please help.

While driving North on I-75 from manatee county to tampa to go to work, both side air bags self-deployed. I had the car towed to ferman Jeep on sr 54. I called Chrysler and was told that the incident had been elevated and that an investigator would go out and call me within one business day. I called the next day and was told that the issue had been escalated and that I would be called within 1-2 business days, meaning Thursday. I called Thursday and was told I needed to wait until 8pm that evening. No call. I called Saturday requesting an update on my vehicle. No call. I called this morning Monday July 7, requested to speak with a supervisor and was told that was not possible. I have no update on my only form of transportation and am desperate to understand, if my vehicle can be fixed. I need temporary transportation. I commute 100 miles in this vehicle every day. I need help escalating my case to the proper people. Thank you.

I have contacted two dealer, one in jamestown, NY and one in cory, pa. I get the same run around from both dealer. They don't have the and will order them and call me to schedule an appointment. I waited six months on the dealer in jamestown before contacting the dealer in cory, pa. I explained my problem to the service manger and ask if they could do the repairs. That was 2/5/14, he assured me they could do the repairs and would order the parts needed. As you can see that has five months and still no word. Please advise me on what I should do to resolve this issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
