Complaint against Chrysler group. Recall N46/NHTSA 13V-252: Re: "the fuel tank on your vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire." I have called Chrysler group 1 X in August 2014 (beginning of recall), November, January and 02/16/15. They have failed to get my parts to the local dealer in a timely manner, therefore putting me at risk of a rear end collision ignition of flames. I need these parts sent to my local dealer immediately. My local dealer is only getting parts at the rate of 5 pieces per week, to fix the more than hundreds of thousands of customers. That is Chrysler fault. Not the dealers. I waited to speak w/Chrysler, on the phone for 1 hour & 25 minutes on 02/16/15, trying to get this resolved. It was the customer service dept, for this particular recall. I never got to speak w/a live person. This is unacceptable. I need my parts sent to my local dealer immediately....updated 05/14/15 the consumer stated the vehicle was repaired. Updated 05/28/15

I received a recall notice several times over the past 1-2 years to get a trailer hitch put on ! after each notice I received I called a local Chrysler dealership, bernard's Chrysler of new richmond wi. Each time I called to set up an appointment, they told me they had to order the trailer hitch and when it comes in they would call and we will schedule an appointment! this has gone on for 1-2 years with them never calling back to say they have the hitch in! I just hope we are not involved in a crash where this will turn into a legal issue....updated 05/14/15 recall was completed on April 30, 2015, after waiting almost three years. Updated 12/22/2015
