My 2016 Dodge Dart has been sitting at a local dealership since very beginning of June 2019- due to v34 NHTSA 19v293 transmission shift cable bushing recall! a very scary situation directly related to recall actually happened to me while I was in vehicle on may 31st. I still have not even received a �recall notice� from Chrysler nor any phone or email communication unless I initiated it. I had to beg the local dealership (whom I bought car from 1 yr ago) to get me into a loaner or rental vehicle! im still in it ! and no explanation from anyone !! I share a vehicle with my 18 yr old daughter & legally I don't believe she is to be driving this rental (due to her age). I need answers pleae ! getting my vehicle back �safely repaired� or getting me into another vehicle at Chrysler's expense needs to happen ASAP - to avoid me contacting an attorney. Lisa keys.
