2011 DODGE RAM 3500 Complaints

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2013. WE WHERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO CALL UNTIL JANUARY 6, 2014. I CALLED ON THE 8TH AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO PARTS WHERE AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING BY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER. ON THE NOTICE IT STATES " THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD ON YOUR TRUCK MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." WE USE OUR VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND ALSO TOW OUR RACE CAR TRAILER WITH IT. I FEEL IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE IF CHRYSLER ISSUED THE RECALL. I DO NOT WANT TO CHANCE INJURING MYSELF OR MY FAMILY, OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE CARELESSNESS OF CHRYSLER. I JUST WANT THIS CHANGED BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT IS HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED TIE ROD BALL STUD (N49/ NHTSA 13V-529) INDICATING MY VEHICLE MAY CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. CHRYSLER HAS NOT SUPPLIED THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND NO EXPECTED TIME AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. THE NHTSA MUST ENSURE THAT CHRYSLER CORP. IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS PRODUCT. IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER. MEANWHILE, THOUSANDS OF HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS HAULING THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF CARGO CONTINUE TO OPERATE ON HIGHWAYS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF CRASHING AS INDICATED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY AS CHRYSLER IS PUTTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN DANGER BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED. THE NHTSA, IF NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE ISSUE. *TR
