VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE. HAD BEEN DRIVEN HOME AT 11:30P.M. AND WOKE UP TO FIRE IN THE GARAGE AT 1A.M. ENTIRE HOME AND CONTENTS WERE LOST. WE HAD TO JUMP FROM 2ND STORY WINDOWS TO ESCAPE OUR HOME. FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE MARSHALS FELT THAT FIRE BEGAN IN THE GARAGE AND FOUND IT UNDETERMINED, BUT TOLD US THAT THEY FELT STRONGLY THAT IT WAS THE VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY WITH INFO WE FOUND ONLINE THAT STATED THE BRAKING PROBLEM WAS BEING RECALLED. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NO INFORMATION TO PURSUE. CAR WAS ALSO A TOTAL LOSS. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE WE CAN DO TO FIND OUT WHY THIS RECALL #06V149000 WAS NEVER SENT TO US? HAD WE KNOWN WE WOULD HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM OUR HOME!!!! AND WOULD HAVE GLADLY TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR THAT WAS NEEDED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WENT OUT TO START MY CHRYSLER 300 TO HEAD TO WORK AND AGAIN THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. I CALLED CHRYLSER (THE COMPANY) AND WAS TOLD IF I TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED IT WAS POSSIBLE I COULD HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE FREE. SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A PART LOCATED WITHIN THE GEAR SHIFT THAT MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE GEAR SHIFT NOT TO MOVE. THE PART JUST SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT IT WOULD COST ME NEARLY $700.00. THE SAME DAY I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED I CONTACTED CHRYSLER (THE COMPANY) AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. SO I WAITED TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO. ON JULY 17, 2014- I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO TRY AND SPEAK WITH THEM ONE LAST TIME ABOUT THE SITUATION BEFORE GOING TO COURT. AT ONE POINT THE REPRESENTATIVE EVEN BECAME TEMPERAMENTAL WITH ME STATING THAT BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER VIN # IT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, REGARDLESS IF IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OR NOT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED.
