2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I GOT RECALL P77 IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2015. AS OF JUNE 10TH 2015 I HAVE CALLED ALL THREE DODGE DEALERS AROUND ME AND NONE OF THEM HAVE PARTS AND NO TIME FRAME FOR PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL WHICH IF IT BREAK (MINE AS NOT YET) CAN BE DEADLY. I BELIEVE IN MY OPINION DODGE IS TAKING ITS TIME SINCE IT'S A TEN YEAR OLD VECHICLE
