THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # P77/NHTSA 14V-796. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR A REMEDY FOR THIS SEVERE DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THEY SAY THAT PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 5-6 MONTHS. SINCE THIS CONDITION IS REPORTED THAT IT COULD CAUSE A SUDDEN AND SEVERE CRASH AND VIRTUALLY MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE WAITING 5-6 MONTHS FOR A FIX IS VERY UNREASONABLE. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TOW A CAMPER TRAILER WITH CHILDREN MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN DISASSEMBLE THE POTENTIAL FAULTY PARTS AND DETERMINE IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. I BELIEVE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE LENGTH OF TIME THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO RESPOND THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE INTERMEDIARY SAFETY STEPS. *JS
