WAS NOTIFIED OF RECALL CHRYSLER N49, NHTSB 3V 529000, IN DEC 2013. NOTICE STATED CALL YOUR DEALER IN 1ST WEEK OF JAN 2014. I HAVE BEEN WAITING NOW 3 MONTHS FOR PART TO COME IN TO DEALER. WAS INFORMED BY DEALER THAT THE NEW PART HAS BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT WHEN THE PARTS ARE RELEASED BY CHRYSLER, ONLY 1 PART WILL BE SENT TO THE DEALER EVERY OTHER WEEK. MY DEALER NEEDS OVER 200 TO FILL THE ORDER THAT ARE NOW WAITING. DO THE MATH, THAT MEANS IT WILL BE OVER 7 YEARS TO FILL THE ORDERS. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT. IF IT IS, SHOULD I PARK THE TRUCK. IS NHTSB GOING TO FINE CHRYSLER FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THE RECALL. CAN NHTSB FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE MY TRUCK. IF IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED 3 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. STEERING TIE ROD BROKE WHILE DRIVING AFTER THE FIRST RECALL IN JULY 2013. THE PART GOT RECALL AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2013 FOR THE SAME PART. TO THIS DAY, THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART, AND CHRYSLER STATED THERE IS A DANGER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE NEW AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS A DEATH WOBBLE AND STEERING LINKAGE N64 WAS SCHEDULE TO BE REPLACED BY A SAFETY RECALL BY MANUFACTURE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I WAS PUT ON A LIST AROUND MID FEBRUARY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULD ONLY GET SO MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS A MONTH. I CALLED MONDAY 10 MARCH 2014 TO GET AN UPDATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS CANCELED BY CHRYSLER DUE TO THE PART WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER NATIONAL RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT OTHER PARTS ARE THE PROBLEM AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A PART CAN BE DEFECTIVE THEN DECLARED NOT DEFECTIVE. DODGE HAS 1000'S OF THESE 3/4 AND 1 TON TRUCKS OUT THERE THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE MAY BREAK AT ANYTIME. MOST OF THESE TRUCKS ARE PULLING 5000+ LOADS DOWN THE ROAD. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY SUBSTANDARD PARTS USED BY THE MANUFACTURE. NO OTHER MANUFACTURE HAS THIS STEERING ISSUE WITH THERE TRUCKS. I HAVE ENCLOSED A YOU TUBE LINK. (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Z6H5EH261GW) (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=BWVG63GP81U). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED.

I CONTACTED DIEHL AUTOMOTIVE CONCERNING THE RECALL (N49/NHTSA 13V-529) THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD ON THIS TRUCK MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS WOULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THAT HE COULD ONLY GET THE PARTS FROM DODGE AT A RATE OF (1) PER WEEK. THAT MEANS THAT I WILL HAVE TO GO APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR BEFORE I GET THIS REPAIRED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER GM SCREW UP WHERE IT WILL TAKE SOME LIVES BEFORE THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING. IT'S NOW TIME TO EXPOSE YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN TO THE NEWS MEDIA. WHY WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT ANYTHING ELSE FROM A GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION. *TR UPDATED 07/28/14
