THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I RECEIVED A RECALL BACK ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM FCA. I CONTACTED FCA REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST AND CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF CONTACT AND ITS NOW APRIL 24TH 2017. I HAVE EMAILED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE OF MY VEHICLE ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITH NO SAFETY RECALL ISSUES OR COMPLETE MY RECALL. HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. I WENT TO DODGE AND ASKED WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED, THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND COULD ONLY DO IT NOW IF IT WAS SAFETY RELATED. "WHICH IT CLEARLY IS." I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO ENSURE I AM DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE. IT IS CLEAR DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO ENSURE THE DRIVERS OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE. I'M WRITING ON HERE IN HOPES TO GET HELP TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED OR GET A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS DODGES OBLIGATION TO FULFILL ONE OF THESE. I WILL CONTINUE TO CONTACT EVERYONE I POSSIBLE CAN TO MAKE SURE DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND TO SOLVE DODGES PROBLEM.

WE HAVE 2 OF THE EXACT SAME 2012 DODGE AVENGERS ON OUR LOT, WE ARE NEEDING A RECALL EXTENSION AND POSSIBLE REFUND ON OUR EXPENSES FOR THE VIN I PROVIDED DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART ON THE OTHER AVENGER THAT WE HAVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CAMPAIGN: 13V552000 AND MFR CAMPAIGN: N52 ARE ON ALL DODGE AVENGERS, SO TO PREVENT OUR COMPANY FOR PAYING FOR A PART THAT HAS A RECALL WE ARE WANTING TO EXTEND THE RECALL SO IT COVERS THE AVENGERS MADE FOR THE YEAR OF 2013. NOT JUST THE ONES MADE AFTER THE RECALL THAT WAS MADE HALF WAY DURING THAT YEAR.
