I have been informed by Chrysler via phone conversation is not recalling my vehicle. The 1998-2004 were listed as having severe design flaw with the gas tank located near the rear end and prone to impact explosions. Chrysler stated my vehicle did not qualify for recall since I did not have a tow hitch installed and it was not a 1993-1998 vehicle. 1. If my vehicle has a unprotected gas tank and over 250 vehicles have caught fire on impact why is my car not going to get a protective guard ( this was done on other vehicles that owners complained while under warranty) 2. How is a tow hitch going to stop a back end collision? 3. Why is the design after 2004 of the gas tank not located so close to rear end. If the location isn't a safety concern it shouldn't have needed to be relocated. Chrysler fought this recall for years and ntsa allowed it until a petition was circulated on change. Org to have model years 1998-2004 cars recalled. Could it be the vehicles Chrysler will fix are even still on the road and that is why they are eager to fix those. I am stuck with a car cannot be sold or drive. The defect doen't just hurt me but the poor person who would hit me and risk an explosion. Chysler must be held acountable!.
I would just like to know about vehicle without a trailer hitch to protect people from being hit from behind and maybe afire. And what n. H. T. S. A. Is going to do about this matter.
