Over 9 months ago we received a safety recall notice from Chrysler: Safety recall N26 / NHTSA 13V-239 front axle tube welds letter states that parts needed to do repairs are not on hand. As soon as they are made available they will contact us for repairs. Here it is 9months later and we get the same exact letter. The letter states that this defect could cause a driver to wreck and lose control of the vehicle. I feel that time has exceeded for them to make this right.
