Chrysler issued a recall on my vehicle in december 2013 but as of today cannot tell me when they will know how to fix it. I believe that this is unreasonable. Also, they have not once told me whether or not it is safe to continue to drive my vehicle. I believe at this point i should be entitled to a full refund on this vehicle. *tr
