I received 2 recall notices. I have spent hours trying to work with Chrysler to find a dealership that would be able to fix and align my tow truck. They have been unable to find a dealership within 145 miles of my home. From what I have found out, they have several dealerships that sell my type of tow truck. . But none are able to service and align my tow truck. I feel that this is unacceptable. Please advise. 1-609-412-2198.
