On july 18 2014 recall # p41 was issued by chrysler corp. They have, as yet no solution for this issue. It has been almost a year and no solution in sight. Who in their right mind issues a recall without a solution? I need this recall completed so i can get it licensed. I need the nhtsb to insist that chrysler live up to it's claim that safety is of paramount importance. Either abandon this recall or fix the problem.
