2010 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

HAVE RECALL N49/NHTSA 13V-529 .HAVE HAD THIS NOTICE SINCE JANUARY 2014 AND NOW HAVE RECEIVED THE SECOND NOTICE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY DODGE/CHRYSLER IS HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME IN PRODUCING REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. I CONTACTED 2 DEALERS WHILE IN FLORIDA (JAN-APRIL2014) AND MY LOCAL DEALER WHEN I RETURNED. SAME ANSWER NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WE ARE RETIRED AND TRAVEL WITH A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

THE DODGE RAM WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUPPLE THE RECALL PARTS (RECALL N 49) SINCE THE DATE OF RECALL (DECEMBER 2013). I CALLED EVERY MONTH FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND ONLY ON THE LAST CALL DID THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELL ME THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD SUPPLY THE RECALLED TIE RODS ON MAY 29. CONSEQUENTLY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO BE INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE TIE ROD PROBLEM ON 5/14/2014 BECAUSE, AS I TOLD THEM, I PLANNED TO DRIVE 10 HOURS FROM SANTA FE NM (HOME) TO FT COLLINS CO PULLING A HORSE TRAILER WITH TWO VALUABLE HORSES AND DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. THE TIE ROD BROKE AS I WAS BACKING UP TO ATTACH THE HORSE TRAILER FOR THE HOMEWARD BOUND TRIP. TEN MINUTES LATER AND WE WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN DEAD. THANK GOODNESS THE FT COLLINS DEALERSHIP DID HAVE THE NEW TIE RODS IN REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIEVE THE SANTA FE LITHIA DEALERSHIP WAS MUCH REMISS IN NOT OBTAINING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR ITS LOCAL CUSTOMERS AND CLEARING THE TRUCK FOR A LONG ROAD TRIP. *TR

DRIVING UP COUNTRY ROAD AT 45 MPH IN MY DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL, WITH ONLY 40K MILES ON IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, DEATH WOBBLE HITS. NO ABILITY TO STEER AND NO BRAKES. RIGHT WHEEL GETS JAMMED INTO FRAME OF TRUCK AT 45MPH AND CAN'T SPIN SO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING. EVIDENCED BY TIRE MARKS ON THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK. HAVE PHOTOS. SENDS ME UP THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND ALMOST FLIPS THE TRUCK UPSIDE DOWN. MANAGED TO GET TRUCK UNDER CONTROL, BY SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES, IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY DOG HITS THE WINDSHIELD. POLICE OFFICER WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND WITNESSED THE ENTIRE EVENT, TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. WHEN I CALLED DODGE THEY DENIED EVERYTHING. LOOKED UP INTERNET AND FOUND "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT TRANSPIRED WITH THE TRUCK. FORTUNATELY AT THE TIME I WAS NOT HAULING MY HORSE TRAILER OR ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. DAMAGES TO DATE SO FAR IS 8K, INCLUDING FRAME, FRONT BUMPER, FRONT SUSPENSION, STEERING, FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS FOR A TRUCK THAT ONLY HAS 40K MILES. *TR
