THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED ON RECALL N62 IN JANUARY, 2014. IN MAY 2014 I WAS ADVISED BY DODGE THAT PARTS WERE BEING RESTRICTED AND THAT THE DEALER WOULD RECEIVE ONE (1) PART PER WEEK. THIS MEANT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT OVER ONE (1) YEAR TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED. IT APPEARS THAT DODGE IS STALLING ON REPAIRS. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE OTHER THAN APPEAL TO THE MEDIA? *TR
