1989 Jeep Cherokee

I HAD MY JEEP TOWED TO THE DEALER AS I HAD NO BRAKES AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT THE ABS PUMP AND COMPONENTS WERE BAD, AND IT WOULD COST $1600 TO CONVERT IT TO NON ABS WITH MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER AND CUSTOM BRAKE LINES. I ASKED WHY IT WASN'T COVERED AS THE RECALL STATED THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD PICK UP MY JEEP AND THEY COULD ORDER THE PARTS, BUT THEY WOULD NEVER ARRIVE. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ONLY TO BE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR 10 DAYS. AFTER SPEAKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE, I DEMANDED A SUPERVISOR WHO ALSO STATED THEY COULDN'T HELP ME DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE(1989 JEEP CHEROKEE). I EXPLAINED THAT ON THEIR WEBSITE UNDER MY VIN THAT THE RECALL STATED IT WAS COVERED FOR LIFE, MEANING AGE DIDN'T MATTER. THEY STATED THAT I WAS ON THE HOOK FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY COULDN'T CONTACT THE DEALER TO REDUCE THE COST, AND OFFERED NO HELP WHATSOEVER. HOW IS THIS LEGAL? THIS ISN'T A LOCK OR HINGE, IT'S MY ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM.

DEALERSHIP CAN NOT GET PARTS TO FIX THE ABS BRAKES WHICH WERE RECALLED AND HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. MY JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE NOVEMBER 2015 WAITING FOR PARTS. NOW THEY TELL US THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THEM. I HAVE PAID ABOUT $350 TOWARDS ABS PARTS DURING THE TIME THAT IT HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
