I received a recall notification from chrysler several months ago regarding the transmission oil cooler tube. recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234. i have called river oaks jeep and chrysler every month since receipt and they said they do not have the parts to make the repair. they said that chrysler has not sent them the tube and they have such a long running list that they quit taking names. my 17 year old drives this car and if it is in any way unsafe this is a huge problem! if this will cause a transmission problem after the warranty is out, this will be another issue. please advise. *js

Months ago we received a notice that there was a safety recall on the transmission in our 2012 jeep wrangler. my husband took it to our local jeep dealership, [xxx] and they confirm the line had to be replaced. they said the part was on back order and it would be a month or so. they are receiving approximately one part a week and instead of repairing customers' vehicles, they are putting them on the jeep wranglers that are on their lot for sale. they do not care that they are putting their customers in danger. i contacted chrysler directly and they said that there was nothing they could do to help me. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Safety recall n28/nhtsa 13v-234 - chrysler corporation is not supplying the parts to dealers to complete the repairs necessary to prevent fires & crashes (per the recall notice). this is unacceptable. the waiting list for parts is very long and chrysler reported to me today that each dealer gets 1 repair kit every 14 days. if someone does the math, these means that it will take over 30 months to supply the parts for the necessary repairs, given the number of recalled wranglers (1800,000) and the number of dealers in the us. this is unacceptable and the nhtsa has a responsibility to the traveling public to ensure that recalls such as n28 are completely in a timely manner. *tr

I have been trying to get this recall (see below) repaired for over a year. i am alwas told there are no parts available from my dealer. i wrote chrysler and they say there is a shortage. i still get notices in the mail telling me to get it fixed??? they even set up a web site for me??? http://n28.myautorecall.com/kenlamonda i am hoping you can get this resolved for me or tell my not to worry like my dealer tells me... report receipt date: jun 04, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v234000 component(s): power train , steering potential number of units affected: 180,131 all products associated with this recall expand details close 11 associated documents expand manufacturer: chrysler group llc summary: chrysler group llc (chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 jeep wrangler vehicles equipped with a 3.6l engine and an automatic transmission and manufactured january 23, 2011, through february 23, 2013. the power steering line may contact and wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line resulting in a loss of transmission fluid. consequence: a loss of transmission fluid may result in a loss of transmission function which may increase the risk of a crash. remedy: chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering return tube assembly, free of charge. the recall began on september 23, 2013. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. chrysler's recall campaign number is n28. notes: owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. *tr

I have been waiting for this part (transmission oil cooler tube) since last july. i called immediately to have it addressed by my dealer and they put me on a waiting list. almost a year later (and several phone calls during this year to them) i am still on that waiting list. my recall states: "...operating the vehicle with insufficient transmission fluid may cause damage to the transmission and a loss of transmission function which may increase the risk of a crash." i am supposed to be okay with this? i tried to trade it in for a newer model, but the dealer did not give me a decent deal. my jeep is only a year old. *js

I received first recall notice (notification code n28) in june 2013. contacted dealer and was put on "wait list" for part. i have received 2 more recall notices. calls to dealer result in being told that chrysler is not supplying enough parts for the repair and my wait will be another 6 months minimum ( as of may 2014 ). calls to another dealer confirms that they received 2-3 parts per month for repair resulting in wait list of months. *tr

This is a recall that has not been fixed i have called dealerships since 2013 and no one has call me back. this recall is for the transmission oil cooler tub may come in contact with power steering fluid return tube. prolonged contact with the tubes could cause a leak in the transmission oiler cooler tube. operating the vehicle with insufficient transmission fluid may cause damage to the transmission and a loss of transmission function which increases the risk of a crash. *tr

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 jeeps 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 jeeps 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. *tr

The shifter includes a feature called autostick that allows you to manually shift the gears. the autostick is too sensitive, and if bumped will down shift to first gear causing a sudden reduction in speed. i was driving down the road at roughly 50 mph when a person in the passenger seat gently nudged the gear selector to the left, which shifted the car into 1st gear. to recover the car has to be put into neutral than put back into drive. *tr
