I have received notices from Chrysler regarding my Jeep Wrangler recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234. I have contacted Chrysler on numerous occasions and ordered the replacement part on Feb 14, 2014. As of this morning it was still not available and the dealer told me directly that they are only allowed to order 1 part every 2 weeks and that there were about 50 people waiting. If this is the case and my safety is in jeopardy I'm curious as to how serious Chrysler is taking this if at this point 50 people have to wait about 2 years to have this resolved? please let me know.
