Description of the problem | I received a recall notice for nhtsa 14v-154 notifying me of a potential problem with the brakes on my vehicle. I have called my dealer repeatedly in the over 3 months since i received the recall notice and have been told each time that the parts to perform the recall work are still unavailable. I know that jeep has been manufacturing and selling new 2014 grand cherokees during this time that have the part that is needed to perform the recall on my vehicle. How can you (the government) allow them to use the part that is needed for a safety recall on my vehicle on other new vehicles that they haven't sold yet and claim that the part needed to perform the recall on my vehicle isn't available? Shouldn't they be required to use those parts to perform the recall on the vehicles that are already on the road and in use by consumers before they are allowed to use them in new vehicles that they haven't sold yet? |
