MY VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND A HALF. TRIED FIXES OVER AND OVER AND IT STILL COMES UP AGAIN STATING "MISFIRING, COIL" ETC....... IT STARTED AFFECTING THE FOBIKS TO MY VEHICAL OVER A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE BEEN REPLACING MY FOBIKS OR JUST USING THEM MANUALLY SINCE THEN. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE RECALL AND TRIED TO SCHEDULE MY RECALL TODAY. THE DEALSHIP STATES: THEY HAVE ALREADY SCHEDULED ALL THE PARTS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE FOR CUSTOMERS WHICH IS 9. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CALLING IN TO SCHEUDLE AN APPOINTMENT RANDOMLY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET A PART IN FOR MY VEHICLE UNTIL ONE HAS BEEN USED THAT WOULD FIT MY VEHICLE. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN AND OR WHICH PART IS APPROPRIATE FOR MY VEHICLE SO THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHEN TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPT. THE DEALER STATED THEY DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO ASSIST RIGHT NOW. I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO CALL IN WEEKLY RANDOMLY NOT KNOW IF THE PART I NEED IS AVAIBLE OR HAS ALREADY AGAIN BEEN SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER CUSTOMER AND THE CYCLE FOR EACH PART IS 14 DAYS. IF THEY ONLY HAVE 9 PARTS OF WHICH THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FOR MY VEHICLE OR NOT HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN TO CALL IN OR IF SOMEONE BEATS ME TO MY PART OR WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED? WHAT A PROCESS. AND RIGHT WHEN IT IS TIME TO TRAVEL IN MY VEHICLE. NOT GOOD AT ALL! NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE

ON THE EVENING OF MAY 27, 2015, I WAS UNABLE TO START MY VAN. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. THE VAN DOESN'T USE A "REGULAR" KEY BUT A WIN MODULE. I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY BUT THE VAN STARTED FOR MY BROTHER. HE JIGGLED THE CLUTCH AND EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE WASN'T IN GEAR. THE VAN WORKED FINE THE NEXT DAY ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015, UNTIL THE EVENING. THE ENGINE AGAIN WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I LOCATED A SHOP MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 2015, THAT WORKED ON WIN MODULE SYSTEMS AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO VACATIONS AND ILLNESS, THE SHOP WAS UNABLE TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE UNTIL MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE VAN'S WIN MODULE WAS FAULTY. DURING THE INTERIM, ON JUNE 4, 2015, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VAN REGARDING THE WIN MODULE. IT WAS NOTICE R03. SINCE THE RECALL, THE WIN MODULE ISN'T AVAILABLE. THERE ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DEALERSHIPS (THE TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN GIVEN 20 YET, THEY HAVE OVER 300 CUSTOMERS NEEDING THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. IT WILL TAKE MONTHS TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS DEFECT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO "JOSHUA". CHRYSLER HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO ME. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE A CAR FOR MY USE UNTIL MY VEHICLE CAN BE FIXED NOR PAY FOR A RENTAL. THAT IS WRONG. IN ADDITION, MY VAN, WHICH IS INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PART, WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE. THAT WILL BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. WHY? I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, EVEN THOUGH, "JOSHUA" KEPT SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP ME. WHY DO I HAVE TO BEAR THESE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES WHEN THIS SITUATION IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY CHRYSLER'S FAULT? WHY WASN'T CHRYSLER REQUIRED TO INCREASE THE REPLACEMENT WIN MODULES? THIS INVOLVES PEOPLE'S LIVES.
