3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2012

Reported a breaking problem to Jeep dealership happened on 3 occasions on the parkway, fortunately I was able to control the braking by downshifting my Jeep. Went to the dealership immediately thinking my Jeep needed brake pads. . . Which I paid to replace anyway to be on the safe side. There was a brake recall from Chrysler on 2012 Jeeps gc & also reported the breaking problem to Jeep headquarters on 2 different occasions. I was told I would receive a recall notice, my reports are on file. It's almost 2 months & I still have not received a recall notice from Chrysler I don't understand what is taking Chrysler so long to send out recall notices when a braking problem is at stake & has been reported to Chrysler & the Jeep dealership. I also checked with my dealership today ( Apr 22nd) to see if chrisler perhaps has sent the recall to them via messaging ?????????? no luck Chrysler has my VIN # & report on file, however as of today I have not received a recall notice. Does Chrysler wait until someone has an accidentbefore they send out the recall notices ??????????????.
