Safety recall N28/NHTSA 13V-234 notification code N28 notice received approx. 4 months ago. Went to the dealership this am 2/5/2014 to have the repair done. Dealer said that they only get one part per month so they put me on a wait list. Apparently there are 15 ahead of me at jones Ford/Chrysler in wickenburg AZ. So it looks like a year plus wait. Can't be much of a part regarding the issue so am at a loss at the delay. The failure however can result in a incident. Some prodding to get parts out to the dealers may be in order.

I received a recall notice N28 transmission oil cooler tube from Chrysler. I reached out to the dealership to schedule the work on the recall and was told they didn't have the parts and were receiving 1 part every 2 weeks and they had 400 people on a waiting list. I called another dealer and was told a similar story and at best case would be 6 months before they could have a part for me. The recall mentions potential for a transmission issue which could result in increased risk for a crash. I called Chrysler as well and all they could tell me was sorry they don't have enough parts. So I am supposed to drive an unsafe vehicle and hope that nothing goes wrong in the 6 months before they maybe have a part" this is unreal that a notice is sent out warning of increased risk and then I am told by Chrysler they cant do anything and that they are sorry. Regardless of why, the fact is there are hundreds of unsafe vehicles out there that can not be fixed and notices are being sent out telling the consumer to take them in and get them fixed? why send the recall notice if you cant fix the problem? what is being done to protect me as a consumer with a vehicle that the manufacturer has told me could be unsafe and now has a higher potential risk for a crash and their only answer is "sorry""

This is a safety recall complaint N28/NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube. First notice received in 6/2013, parts to fix not available at the time. Second notice received 1/2014 indicating parts available and to contact dealership "right away to schedule service appointment." Contact was made with dealership and they indicated there is a 4 month waiting list because they are only provided one set of parts per week needed for this recall, which means, only 4 Jeep a month are receiving the repairs for a 2 hour fix. This is absolutely ridiculous. Dealerships should be provided these parts as soon as a customer contacts them on this safety recall. I have been put on the "list" and will be called when I move to the top. A 4 month waiting list means only 16 Jeep will have this safety recall taken care of before I am scheduled. Solution: Dealerships need to have these parts available to them as customers call to schedule an appointment. They should not be rationed nor should a complaint be filed against the dealer. The complaint is with Chrysler group for not being able to supply parts for a safety recall that could potentially present a life threatening situation if the defect is not taken care of.
