Multiple incidents - stopped at corner heading uphill. Happened to touch both brake and gas pedals at the same time. I found that when going into the intersection at the change of light, no gas (propulsion) for approx. 5 seconds. Complained to service mgr. He advised he had heard this before and would contact chrysler. Never heard from him again. Over the two years this problem occurred about 4 times. I have since been told that nissan has also engineered this into their cars as if this makes it right.

My wife has contacted the jeep dealership in fayetteville ar about her brakes not feeling correct and took the jeep in to get checked and was told no recall had been issued. Within 2 weeks there was a recall however we have been told after the recall came it would be 5-7 business days for the part to come in. We are over two months later with no resolve and not feeling any better over the issue. Multiple phone calls and me going in person to the dealership we are now told sorry we can not tell you how long the wait will be for our part to come in. If there is such a severe issue that is causing fatalities then why is it when someone reports having had issues with the way the brakes felt once applied why is nothing being done at this point? This is our primary vehicle for our family and the news on the recalls is steady getting worse. We understand thousands of people are affected but how long is the final wait going to be? Should I be preparing for getting another vehicle so I don't have a death trap going into the winter? We like the vehicle but at this point the issues needs to be resolved in a more timely manner, as to if it will be fixed before a set date or the complete buy back of the vehicle.

Attempted to complete brake booster recall (p14/the federal safety agency 14v‑154) at helfman dodge/jeep in houston on 6/30/14. The dealer will not accept appointments for recalls so the work is only performed first come, first served. Helfman is unable to approximate when they will even be able to begin the recall work. According to helfman dodge, chrysler has made no accommodations for customers being without a vehicle for an undefined period of time. Helfman advised that I would have to pay for the rental vehicle myself. I do not have any other means of transportation and do not have the ability to take a full day or more off of work to wait to see when the dealer can complete the recall repair. I should not have to pay for my own rental vehicle for a recall repair. Because I cannot make an appointment, and the dealer does not know when they will be able to perform the work and thus must keep the car for an undetermined period of time, I do not have the luxury of taking a day or two off work to sit 11 hours in the waiting room hoping they can get to my car then repeating this the next day if it was not repaired, and because I should not have to pay for the rental vehicle during a recall repair, I am unable to complete this recall repair on my 2012 jeep. Chrysler is not making any accommodations to customers to make this repair practical for the typical vehicle owner.

I received an "important safety recall" notice from chrysler for my car. It says that the brake booster needs to be inspected and then replaced or a protective brake booster shield needs to be installed. I called chris nickel jeep chrysler dodge to schedule an appointment and they state that they have no parts for this and have no eta on when a fix will be available. The notice also said that if the dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect within a reasonable time, I was supposed to notify the administrator of the federal safety agency at this website. That is what this complaint is for.

I received a safety recall notice campaign p14 / the federal safety agency 14v‑154 related to a problem with the brake booster. I contacted my dealer to schedule a service appointment and was informed that they do not have the parts needed for this recall. When I asked how I should proceed with getting the recall taken care of they stated I should check back with them in one month to see if they have received any parts. I find this highly unacceptable that chrysler issues a recall notice without already having supplied dealers with the recall parts. The dealer did even offer to put me on a notification list, simply said I should check back.

I responded to a safety recall concerning a brake booster for the above referenced vehicle. The recall notice stated that after an inspection of the issue, if a repair or replacement of parts were needed, the repair would be performed at that time. However, I was informed that they (the dealership) do not have the parts on hand, and that it will take about two months to get those parts in. This is unacceptable. If the manufacturer sends out a safety recall, then they should have already supplied the dealerships with those parts. And at the very least, if it was going to be necessary to order those parts, there is no excuse for it taking close to two months to receive. I also take issue with the statement that "it's ok to drive your car until the parts get here". If it's considered so safe, why the need for a safety recall?
