WAS LEAVING MY HOME FOR WORK AND COMING UP TO STOP SIGN WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED. RADIO WAS STILL ON BUT CAR NOT RUNNING. I HAD TOWED TO SHOP WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF THAT WAS PROBABLY CAUSING TROUBLE. THANK GOD I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME PARTS FOR TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR RECALL REPAIR. CALLED CHRYSLER WHO STATED PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND FOR THAT REASON THEY DENIED RENTAL CAR. WEBSITE CLEARLY STATES "REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE" DEALERSHIP INSISTED PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AS WELL. VICIOUS CYCLE WENT ON FOR 2 WEEKS, BACK AND FORTH 2 HOUR PHONE CALLS UNTIL CHRYSLER ADMITTED THAT THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO USE ANOTHER PART FROM A DIFFERENT VEHICLE "FOR NOW". 3RD WEEK INTO ORDEAL I GET CALL FROM DEALERSHIP THAT I NEED TO PAY $300 FOR TIPM CONNECTOR WHICH IS NEEDED FOR RECALL REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED. OBLIGATED TO PAY SINCE CHRYSLER STATED PART IS NOT UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY BUT YOU CAN'T DO ONE WITH OUT THE OTHER. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 3 WEEKS WITH OUT VEHICLE SO AT THEIR MERCY PAYING FOR PART. NO COMPENSATION OR RENTAL FROM CHRYSLER. FAILED TO MENTION 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE IN 2012 VEHICLE OVERHEATED LEAVING ME STRANDED. ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND OF COURSE UNABLE TO RETURN DEFECTIVE VEHICLE SINCE I SIGNED MY LIFE AWAY WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
