On Friday March 14, 2014 I was driving with my 1 year old daughter on harmony church road (route 704) on my way to my son's elementary school. My daughter was in a car seat in the back seat, directly behind the passenger seat. While en route, my 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited hit drifted to the shoulder of the road and the passenger side front tire was pulled into soft mud. I lost control of the vehicle. My vehicle was pulled to the right shoulder of the road and I went off the road. The vehicle struck a tree and various bushes. The loudoun county sheriff"S department and loudoun county fire and rescue responded to the scene. My husband and I recently put larger tires and rims on the Jeep and a 3? lift kit. My husband commented that with the larger tires and the raised height, the Jeep was more difficult to control on the road and I had noticed the vehicle visibly ?wander? on the road when I had followed my husband while he was driving the Jeep. The sheriff?S department called my husband at home and he responded to the accident scene and took our daughter. I sustained injures in the collision, but my daughter was unharmed. The Jeep"S airbags failed to deploy and I sustained a fractured nose, facial lacerations, facial contusions and a contusion to my sternum. I was taken by ambulance to leesburg hospital at 224 cornwall street.

I received a safety recall notice N28/NHTSA 13V-234 for the transmission oil cooler tube in Oct. 2013. 5 months later I'm still being told by my dealer that I'm on a waiting list to have this taken care of. I don't know what the NHTSA's definition of remedying this defect within a reasonable time is, however, 5 months definitely seems excessive to me for a recall that states "the loss of transmission function may increase the risk of a crash".

This website system does not seem particularly well-suited for this feedback. I have received repeated recall notices from Chrysler regarding the transmission cooler tube. NHTSA 13V-234. On those forms, it requests that we log onto safercar.gov if the dealer fails to repair the defect within a reasonable time. I cannot find any place to register that complaint except here. I have received a series of harcopy mailings between perhaps September 2013 and current (Mar 2014). They suggest I call a local Jeep dealer to schedule a repair. Each time I call the service department of the local Jeep dealer, I get a different response, such as "we only have enough parts to repair vehicles on the East coast first. We will eventually call you when we have parts available to repair yours in Colorado" the next time, the dealer said they still don't have parts, and that I must just keep calling back every week or so to see when they arrive. The third time I called they assured me that Jeep will call me as soon as they are available. The fourth time the local dealer said they had no mechanism to contact me when parts become available, and the burden was indeed on me to keep calling. What a stupid system. My daughter also has a Jeep (a 2003 gcherokee). She has undergone similar hassles with parts not being available for more than a year for a recall. Each time she calls it is a different story. I don't know what the NHTSA believes is a "reasonable time". but it seems stupid to keep mailing me hardcopy recall notices if Jeep doesn't have the parts or ability to make the repair. And when I call Jeep, they should have a true and consistent story about what I need to do to get the repair completed.

Received safety recall notice N28 / NHTSA 13V-234 transmission oil cooler tube which affects some 2012 and 2013 Jeep Wrangler vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. I contacted our Jeep dealer right away and the response I received from them was there is a national backorder on the part in question and they have no idea when it will be available. I had them place me on a list that extended into 2015 for replacement when and if they get the part.
