I RECEIVE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL # N62 / NHTSA 13V-528 FROM CHRYSLER CORP. FOR THE DODGE TRUCK LISTED ABOVE. THIS RECALL WAS SENT TO ME LAST NOVEMBER OF 2013. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY TUTTLE DODGE IN TUSTIN, CA. THIS IS THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2055. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THIS VEHICLE NEED THE SAFETY REPAIR AND SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD INFORM MW WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN MAKE THE SAFETY REPAIRS. I HAVE CHECK WITH TUTTLE DODGE EVERY MONTH SINCE AND WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THIS REPAIR IS TO THE LEFT TIE ROD, AND IF IT BREAKS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO STEERING. THIS WOULD RESULT IN 10,000 POUND TRUCK RUNNING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL WITH UNDERSTANDABLE DISASTROUS RESULTS. I WANT SOME HELP GETTING THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED TO A SAFE CONDITION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD SON TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45-50MPH AND THERE WAS A SPOT IN THE ROAD THAT WE RAN OVER WHICH WAS A REPAIR SO IT WAS RAISED UP A BIT FROM LEVEL. AFTER RUNNING OVER THE REPAIR THE INFAMOUS DODGE DEATH WOBBLED STARTED. ONCE THE SHAKING STARTED I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR US THE DEATH WOBBLE SHEARED THE TIE ROD END THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE PITMAN ARM COMPLETELY OFF OF THE TRUCK SO I HAD NO STEERING CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK AND WE FLEW IN TO THE NEXT LANE AND WOUND UP ON THE SHOULDER HITTING THE CURB. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THAT A MANUFACTURER WOULD ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO PERSIST FOR YEARS. DODGE HAD THIS ISSUE STARTING WITH 2003 TRUCKS. I HAVE SPEND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND DODGE ALWAYS SAYS "WELL MAYBE IT IS THIS" AND WANTS MORE MONEY. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR [XXX] PRODUCT. IT ALMOST KILLED MY SON AND I. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
