I SEVERE STEERING WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER HITTING A BUMP/ POTHOLE IN THE ROADWAY. S WOBBLE STOPPED UPON SLOWING. WHILE DRIVING CAN FEEL SOMETHING BUMPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL ANYTIME YOU HIT A BUMP WHILE ON SLIGHT TURN. I CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERS IN THE OHIO WEST VIRGINIA AREA I EXPLAINED MY DIFFICULTY THEY STATED THEY ONLY GET PARTS TO REPAIR 1 VEHICLE PER WEEK. THEY STATED THERE IS A LIST OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME EVEN THOUGH THEY STATED HAVING POSSESSION OF PARTS TO PERFORM 6 RECALLS EITHER N 62 OR H47. ELM GROVE DODGE IN ELM GROVE WV AND BOB CALDWELL CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH IN COLUMBUS OHIO ALSO STATED HAVING PARTS TO DO 4 RECALLS THEY ALSO STATED HAVING A LONG LIST AND ONLY RECEIVING 1 RECALL PART PER WEEK. THE DEALER IN RI PAUL BAILEY DODGE IN NORTH KINGSTOWN GAVE ME THIS SAME STORY MONTHS AGO SAID THEY WOULD PUT ME ON THE LIST AS WE'LL. THEY NEVER CALLED. I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER 7/2/14 ADVISED OF THEM OF MY SITUATION AND I'M AWAITING A FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL 7/3/14 TO ADVISE ME IF THEY HAVE FOUND A DEALER TO ASSIST ME. I OFFERED TO DRIVE 3 HOURS TO CALDWELL CHRYSLER IN COLUMBUS OHIO. ALSO I OFFERED TO LEAVE THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK OR 2 FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION. PS I OFFERED TO BUY THE PART THEY STATED THE NEW CUSTOMER PAY PART REQUIRES THE PURCHASE OF 3 ADDITIONAL STEERING LINKAGE PARTS AS THE STEERING LINKAGE HAS BEEN UPGRADED AND THE NEW PARTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OEM PARTS INSTALLED NEW AT THE FACTORY. HOWEVER THE TIE BAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE OEM STEERING LINKAGE THUS MAKING IT NOT NECESSARY TO REPLACE 3 OTHER STEERING PARTS DAIMLER WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL THIS SPRING REGARDING A LEFT TIE ROD REPLACEDMENT. I NOTIFIED DON DAVIS DODGE IN EL CAMPO, TEXAS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS. I CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER. I CALLED THE COMPLAINT HOTLINE ON 3/10/2014. THIS WEEK I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR THE SAME THING. I DROVE TO EL CAMPO AGAIN TODAY, JUNE 1, 2014 AND CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN WITH DON DAVIS DODGE, AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TIE ROD ON SEVERAL VEHICLES LATELY AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THESE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT GOOD, AND THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON NEW PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AT MANY DODGE DEALERS. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THIS TRUCK DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN I TURN TO THE RIGHT I FEEL IT POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DON DAVIS THAT THIS IS THE SYMPTOM. THEY SAID THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIE RODS ON 2 VEHICLES THAT HAD JUST BROKEN. NOW, I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK UNTIL I GET THIS CORRECTED. I USE THIS TRUCK TO HAUL CATTLE AND I NEED ANSWERS AND ASSISTANCE NOW. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
