DURING THE YEAR (2014), I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SEPARATE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER. WHEN I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE (P14/NHTSA 14V-154 BRAKE BOOSTER), I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER (CARSON DODGE/JEEP) AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY DID NOT YET HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL, SO IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I GOT THE SECOND SAFETY RECALL (P36/NHTSA 14V-391 SUN VISOR WIRING). I CALLED CARSON DODGE/JEEP AGAIN. THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND IT "DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THEM UNTIL THEY COULD PERFORM THE INSPECTION FOR BOTH SAFETY RECALLS". THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW THE END OF THE YEAR, CARSON DODGE/JEEP HAS NOT CALLED ME TO PERFORM EITHER OF THE SAFETY RECALL INSPECTIONS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING JERKED AROUND. AS THESE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER ARE NOT DATED, I CANNOT BE SURE OF THE EXACT MONTH/DATE THEY WERE RECEIVED. AS IMPORTANT AS THESE DOCUMENTS ARE, THEY SHOULD BE DATED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A TINY PEBBLE STRUCK MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, WHICH RESULTED IN A CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHIP RESULTED IN A CRACK THAT SPANNED THE ENTIRE HORIZONTAL LENGTH OF MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD DRIVEN/OWNED OTHER NON-JEEP VEHICLES IN WHICH WINDSHIELDS WERE STRUCK BY LARGER PEBBLES/ROCKS AND SURVIVED WITHOUT HAVING SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY HUSBAND'S 2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAS SUSTAINED CRACKED FRONT WINDSHIELDS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A THREE MONTH PERIOD. DESIGN DEFECT?? SUBSTANDARD FRONT WINDSHIELD??? *TR
