Recall on jeep alternator and brake booster water shield. My complaint is the length of time in getting the parts. The alternator went out and it has been sitting at the dealership for 11 days now and parts are still not released from chrysler. They will not give me a rental. What is a person to do? Except pay 800$ and then fight chrysler to get my money back.
