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. *tr

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. *tr

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"? *tr

I took in my jeep to motor village la (2025 s figueroa st, los angeles, ca 90007). i brought it in for a recall of the transmission oil cooler tube (n28/nhtsa 13v-234). upon calling to determine if the work had been completed, i was told that they only inspected to see what parts would need to be replaced. they further explained that the parts requiring replacement would take a while to be received. when i pushed for more information, they told me that they are only allowed to order 1 part of this type every 14 days from the manufacturer. they said that i would be added to the waiting list for this part. when i asked how many people were on the list, he merely said that there were a lot. so i asked if it would be weeks, months, or what that means? he said he didn't have any further information for me. i believe that this situation fails to meet the requirement of replacement within a reasonable period of time. i could even live with a month or two, but an indeterminate amount of time is ridiculous. *tr

Received 1st safety recall notice, n28/nhtsa 13v-234, from chrysler group 09/10/2013. i immediately called the local dealership (bay dodge, panama city beach, fl) and was told to call back at a later date because the parts to repair the issue were not in stock and they were waiting for the inventory. 2nd safety recall notice received 12/07/2013. i called the same dealership on 12/09/2013 and was told i would be added to the "wait" list...that i was number 45 and could expect to wait a couple years for the parts to arrive at the dealership. the issue is that the dealership can only order one repair kit every 14 weeks from chrysler!! what?? so, if the transmission oil cooler tube begins to leak it may cause "damage to the transmission and a loss of transmission function which may increase the risk of a crash"...and it is ok to make me wait years for the repair??? *tr

After receiving a recall notice (safety recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234 transmission oil cooler tube) in the mail, i called my local dealership (clear lake dodge/chrysler/jeep, houston, tx) to schedule a service appointment to remedy the possible problem explained in the recall notice. unfortunately, i was told that this dealership is only receiving approx. 1 - 2 of the parts needed for this problem per week and they have a list of customers for those parts already long enough that will take approx. a year to fill. i was told that i should continue to call the dealership approx. once a week and see if they, by any chance, received enough of the parts to fix my vehicle. i find this unacceptable! i do not want to wait a year to get my vehicle fixed and feel that i (nor anyone else) should not have to wait that long to get a possible defect in my vehicle taken care of. are there any other options for me? what can i do to get my vehicle taken care of immediately? i do not want to wait to get this problem taken care of and risk the possibility of the problem materializing and causing an accident that could result in my vehicle being destroyed or, even worse, injuring myself or others! i appreciate any help or advice you could give me in this matter! thank you. *tr
