I GOT A LETTER LAST YEAR 2014 ABOUT THE RECALL AND WENT BACK A MONTH LATER, AND THEY VERBALLY SAID THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE RECALL. THE RECENT ONE, I TOOK IT TO TURLOCK DODGE AND THEY PUT ME ON THE LIST AND I'M AT THE BOTTOM AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, BUT I WANT IT FIXED ASAP. THE RECALL SAYS: "THE PROBLEM IS THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD ON YOUR TRUCK MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WILL REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. TO DO THIS, YOUR DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING LINKAGE ON YOUR TRUCK AND REPLACE STEERING LINKAGE COMPONENT/S IF REQUIRED. THE INSPECTION WILL TAKE LESS THAN 1/2 HOUR. IF LINKAGE REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED, THE WORK WILL TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 1 HOUR TO COMPLETE..ETC" THIS WAS COPIED FROM THE RECALL NOTICE. SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX IT?! FIX THIS ASAP, I'M FRUSTRATED SINCE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME EXCEPT THE LETTER! *TR

SHARP PARTS AND PIECES KEEP FALLING OFF THE DASH OF MY TRUCK AND MOST OF NOT ALL HAVE EITHER HIT MY PASSENGER OR MYSELF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WAS CHANGING OIL ON MY 03 DODGE RAM 3500 AND NOTICED THE FRAME RAIL NEAR CAB MOUNT ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THRU WITH A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES LONG AND 1/4" WIDE. I'M AFRAID TO HAUL MY GOOSE NECK TRAILER UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I'M AFRAID THAT ADDITIONAL WEIGHT COULD CAUSE THE FRAME TO COLLAPSE. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION. *TR

AIR WILL NOT BLOW THROUGH THE DEFROSTERS. HOT AIR WILL ONLY BLOW THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2009 AND 2010 MODELS. THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST YOUR WINDOWS. *TR
