TAKATA RECALL, THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JULY 1 OF 2016. AS OF TODAY THERE IS STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL ACCORDING TO SAFERCAR.GOV. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS AT LEAST THE SECOND RECALL SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK THAT I'VE HAD TO WAIT MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FOR PARTS TO FIX A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT BY LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM MOPAR IS "COVERING THEIR BUTT", BUT IF THEY FAIL TO GET PARTS OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER I FEEL THEY SHOULD STILL BE HELD LIABLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS OUT FASTER THAN THEY DO.

THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END CAN BE REPRODUCED AT ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE HIGHWAY AT 65+ MPH. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BOUNCES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OUT OF CONTROL SHAKING IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRAFFIC FOLLOWING MY TRUCK HAS BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ACTION TO AVOID PLOWING INTO THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK. DODGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE RUN AROUND AND MISDIAGNOSIS OF THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I WILL BE REPOSTING EACH OCCURRENCE HERE.
