VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT EXTREME AND UNCONTROLLABLE FRONT-END VIBRATION WHEN TURNING OVER A BUMP OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS OVER 25 MPH ("DEATH WOBBLE") SUBSEQUENT TO THE N49 RECALL FINALLY BEING PERFORMED ON SAID VEHICLE ON 10/9/14. THE VIBRATION CONTINUES UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO A STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TOW A FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER IN EXCESS OF 18,000 LBS, WHICH IS UNDERSTOOD TO EXACERBATE THIS DEFECT AND CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND CRASHES THAT WOULD AFFECT NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME NECESSARILY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THOSE VEHICLES.

THE OEM INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER WILL NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BRAKES ON THE TOWED VEHICLE WHEN DEPRESSING THE TOW VEHICLE FOOT BRAKE. YOU MUST MANUALLY SLIDE THE BRAKE CONTROLLER LEVER IN ORDER TO ACTUATE THE SYSTEM. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING A CAMPER, TRAILER, ETC. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TWICE TO THE DEALER: THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG; THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED THE CONTROLLER W/ A NEW ONE. IT PERFORMS EXACTLY THE SAME--THAT IS, IT DOESN'T. THEY ASSURE ME IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED IT WAS MY TRAILER. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TRAILER I AM TOWING, IT DOES NOT WORK. ALL OF MY TRAILERS BRAKE FINE WHEN HOOKED TO OTHER TOW VEHICLES. *TR

WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 4TH, 2013, AND THEY TOLD US THAT WE DO NEED THIS RECALL FIXED. HOWEVER, THEY ALSO SAID THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. FAST FORWARD OVER A YEAR, AND WE ARE STILL ON THE WAITING LIST FOR A REPLACEMENT PART. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET, STOPPED TO BACK INTO DRIVEWAY AND STEERING LINKAGE BROKE. THIS WAS A FACTORY RECALL PROBLEM (N49/NHTSA 13V-529). I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR PARTS SINCE FEBRUARY, 2014. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS WERE BACKORDERED AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN THEIR SERVICE ENTRANCE (VIA TOW TRUCK) THEY SUDDENLY HAD THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE WRITER AT HOYTE DODGE, DURANT, OKLAHOMA THAT THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM DO THE REPAIRS UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT'S OWN ALIGNMENT MACHINE. HAD THIS BROKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. *TR
