I AM ON MILITARY ORDERS AND AM PLANNING ON SHIPPING MY JEEP WRANGLER TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION LOCATED IN LIMA PERU.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP WITH THIS SITUATION. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN TO YOU UNDER REFERENCE #10429043, FOR A LEAKING GAS TANK. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE BLOWN ME OFF AND NOT ADDRESSED THIS RECALL OR SAFETY ISSUE. I NOW CARRY TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IN THE CAR AWAITING THE IMPENDING EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE. IN ADDITION, CHRYSLER TOOK MY CAR TO THEIR BAYSIDE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND CHARGED ME $217.75 TO INSTALL CLAMPS ON (I BELIEVE) THE GAS LINE. THAT LASTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE LEAK STARTED AGAIN. [XXX] (NO LAST NAMES ARE GIVEN) FROM CHRYSLER ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD REFUND MY $217.75, WHICH WAS NEVER DONE. TODAY, I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE NY DAILY NEWS THAT CHRYSLER IS DODGING THE RECALL BY THE NHTSA ON GAS TANK PROBLEMS WITH MANY YEARS OF JEEPS, WHICH PROVES MY POINT MORE THAT THEY ARE DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. I WOULD LIKE MY FOREVER LEAKING GAS TANK FINALLY FIXED AND I WOULD LIKE MY $217.75 REFUNDED; OR THEY CAN OFFER ME A BRAND NEW JEEP AS A REPLACEMENT, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK DOESN'T LEAK. OTHERWIS
