2007 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALL REFUSE TO SET ME UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED

WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNALS (MAINLY LEFT SIGNAL) THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL COMES ON INDICATING I AM TURNING RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT. SEVERAL INSTANCES I HAVE COME CLOSE TO A NEAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM, BUT VERY INTERMITTENT. RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE STATES THAT THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE TURN SIGNALS WORKING IMPROPERLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS THAT I KNOW OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FRACTURED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE FRONT WHEEL, BRAKE ROTOR, AND BRAKE CALIPER TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. PREVIOUSLY, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ALSO FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,000.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO, AND JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE, STATING THE SAME THING, THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO EAST TN DODGE RIGHT AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE FROM YOU. THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST. OVER A YEAR LATER AND I AM STILL ON THE LIST. INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY SENDING ME RECALL NOTICES, WHY DON'T YOU SPEND THE MONEY ON MAKING SURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL? EAST TN DODGE TELLS ME THEY ONLY GET SO MANY PARTS A MONTH.
