This is a complaint about the timeline in which this recall P14/NHTSA 14V-154 (brake booster) is taking to get fixed by the Chrysler group. I have been on the waiting list at my local dealer in rapid city since mid June and they inform me that they are only getting 3-4 parts per month to fix this. I don't understand why Chrysler is reacting so slow at getting the parts out to the dealers to fix this, especially with the winter months coming up and if water gets into the brake system and freezes it may cause the brakes to not work properly. I called Chrysler to complain and they didn't seem to feel concerned and just gave me a canned standard statement that it is a controlled recall. Now in the meantime I have a 2nd recall P36/NHTSA 14V-391 (sun visor vanity lamp wiring) which I am on another waiting list to get fixed. If someone can please respond and let me know what is considered a reasonable waiting time for the brake booster to get fixed? if my dealer can only repair 3-4 vehicles per month, it may be years before all the affected Jeep are fixed.

I have had a brake recall notice for my vehicle for months! when I check with Chrysler and the dealer parts to repair the brakes have not been released! I have now received a second recall for a possible short in the headliner that could cause a fire, again no parts to fix the problem. Is the government going to look into this or am I wasting my time filling out messages on this site"?"

I got a recall # P14 I have tired for over 3 months to get it repaired at royal olds in charleston where I purchased the vehicle they said they don't have the part and only get one part in at a time per month. It is apparent that they don't want to fix this recall, I'm not the only customer having this problem I have talked with others.

I have gotten two safety recalls from Jeep. The first one is P14/NHTSA 14V-154 ( brake booster may prematurely corrode) and the second is P36/NHTSA 14V-391 ( sun visor vanity lamp may experience high resistance short). I have called several dealerships to try to get my car in for them to check and have either been told they don't have the part or are "too busy to service my car". I was even told at helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep and Ram in houston (713)533-6100 that they couldn't service my car because they were too busy and under staffed and then the man said " I don't mean to be rude, but it's true". my service engine soon light also came on at one point and they said they couldn't take my car in. I am very frustrated with Jeep's costumer service. I also called the dealership I bought my car from (auto nation) Chrysler Jeep and Dodge in spring, Texas three times and never received a phone call back after leaving three messages with the service operator. I was told to file a compliant on this website if the recalls were not taken care of within a reasonable time. Thank you for your time.

I received a recall notice in June and took my car for repairs. They did the inspection on the Jeep and found that I need a new part. I have now been waiting 3 months to get this part and my dealer tells me they can get the part from the factory and don't know when they will. Today I received a new recall notice P36 /NHTSA 14V-391 for a wiring issue on the overhead lights. I took it to the dealer and they told me they would order the parts. Again with know ideal when this would be repaired. The first could cause my breaks to fail the second could cause my car to burn down. I would like to get this repaired what do I need to do? I have contacted the factory with no help. They claim they are trying to produce the parts for the brakes.
