I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE RECALL WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED. MAKE SEVERAL CALLS TO LOCAL DEALERS AND COPERATE OFFICES. I'VE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE IN REFERENCE TO THIS MATTER. UNABLE TO USE MY TRUCK ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO FEAR OF A INCIDENT.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION SEPTEMBER 2015. LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAID WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SPRING 2016 TO HAVE AIRBAG DEFECT REPAIRED SINCE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WE ARE #300 ON WAITING LIST FOR THE REPAIR. 6 MONTH WAIT IS NOT A TIMELY RESOLUTION TO A SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL MOVEMENT. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE STEERING DRAG LINK INNER JOINT AND DAMPER BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE REAR AXLE LOCK-UP AND THE DRIVESHAFT DETACHED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS CAUSE MY TRUCK TO LOCK UP THE REAR TIRES NEARLY CAUSING AND ACCIDENT. I WAS ON THE RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. 20 MORE FT AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL ON THE AIR BAG INFLATOR MONTHS AGO. THIS NOTICE ALSO ADVISED THAT NO PARTS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN AVAILABLE. YESTERDAY, HAVING HEARD NOTHING, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST AND I MIGHT GET A CALL IN ~ 4 MONTHS WHEN PARTS ARRIVE. NHTSA KEEPS TELLING ME I AM IN DANGER BUT THE CAR MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO RESPOND WITH ANY URGENCY. HOW DO WE SPEED THIS UP?

ON MY 2008DODGE RAM 1500 I DID THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL NECK TWICE AND STILL HAD PROBLEM WITH IT THEN STARTED TO WORKING RIGHT. THEN JUST LAST WEEK START HAVING PROBLEM WITH AGAIN ON 10/17/2015 WHEN I FILL UP .THE GAS START TO COME BACKUP AND TAKE 20 MIN TO 1/2 HALF HOUR TO FILL MY TRUCK AND DID IT AGAIN 10/23/2015

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS FAILED AT 3 YEARS OLD AND 4 YEARS OLD AND WE REPLACED THEM OUT OF POCKET. ALL 4 O2 SENSORS FAILED AT 5 YEARS OLD BUT DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THIS CORRECTLY WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THESE AND THE PCM, WHICH BURNT OUT BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE O2 SENSORS, AFTER THE TRUCK WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND WE CAN'T SELL THE VEHICLE AS IT IS. CHRYSLER STATES IT IS NOT PART OF THE BUYBACK AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WE CAN'T SELL.
