Description of the problem | August 29, 2015 i had a tune-up performed on my 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland. When i returned to pick up my vehicle i was informed that when the service advisor was removing the car from the garage a fire started in the interior of the vehicle. The service advisor showed me the interior damage and it was the passenger sun visor. The visor had approximately a quarter size burn mark on the plastic piece covering the vanity mirror and a burn on the head liner directly above the damage on the cover. It was suggested that i take the car directly to the other dealer that had done the p36/nhtsa 14v-391 recall in october 2014 as the dealer that had done the tune up would not fix the damage and would not help with anything. After i inquired about my safety driving the vehicle (at the dealer's suggestion) it was determined that it probably should be towed. I contacted the dealer that had done the recall. The vehicle was left at the dealer and i contacted chrysler for assistance. A case was opened for me. August 31, 2015 the dealer that had done the recall repair contacted chrysler regarding the case and were informed by chrysler that the vehicle was not to be moved until and investigation could be done. September 1, 2015 i sent an email and timeline (to date) to the gm/president of the dealer that performed the tune up. September 2, 2015 i contacted chrysler regarding my case and was informed it was closed. The representative re-opened the case. September 6, 2015 i contacted chrysler regarding my case and was informed it had been assigned and i would need to wait until the assigned agent contacted me. September 8, 2015 to date i have not been contacted by chrysler, the gm/president of the dealership that has the vehicle, i have not been provided any transportation and i have no idea the status of my vehicle. |
