THIS CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED(P41) BUT BECAUSE NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR. IT WAS A GOOD THING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THIS TIME (ABOUT 4:00PM) I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE DEAL WITH AND ALSO SENT A LETTER TO THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON D. C. I WAS CONTACTED BY MR. JIM BURKE AND WE SET UP A TIME TO MEET MARCH 31 AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN VICTORVILLE. ACCORDING TO MR. BURKE HE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH CHRYSLER. MR. BURKE INSPECTED THE CAR ON THE 31ST OF MARCH. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 31ST ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM OUR HOUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS IS ABOUT THE FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED . THE FIRST TIME THROUGH THE FOURTH TIME IT WAS ALWAYS LATE IN THE EVENING USUALLY ON A SATURDAY. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROCESS. MY WIFE IS RIGHT WHY SEND OUT A RECALL NOTICE IF NO PART WILL BE AVAILABLE? I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED SO THAT WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER.
