SAFETY RECALL R36 / NHTSA 15V-459. MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE RECALL DONE AND STILL HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO CORRECT. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE DEALER ACTUALLY DID THE WORK PROPERLY OR AT ALL. MY STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CONTROLS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE HORN RARELY WORKS BUT WHEN IT DOES IT USUALLY COMES ON AND STAYS BLOWING UNTIL THEY IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN INVOLVING THE CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE ONLY ANSWER I GET FROM MY DEALER IS "THE RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, YOU'LL NEED TO PAY FOR THE WORK". I DON'T FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A SHODDY REPAIR JOB INVOLVING A RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE 4 OTHER OPEN RECALLS ON MY TRUCK THAT THE DEALER "CAN'T FIT IN THEIR SCHEDULE".

MY CONCERN IS THE BLINKER BULB REPLACEMENT. SOMETHING THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW AND SAFETY STANDARDS TO FUNCTION, SHOULD BE READILY ACCESSIBLE AND CHANGEABLE. HOWEVER ON THIS VEHICLE THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED LIGHTS ARE NON REPLACEABLE WITHOUT CHANGING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. IN ORDER FOR MYSELF TO SATISFY THE LAWS OF THE ROAD I MUST SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $1000 INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL 5 DOLLAR BULB. THIS IS AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD SAFELY AND IS FORCING ME TO PARK MY TRUCK UNTIL THE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARRIVE ONE WEEK FROM NOW. NOT ONLY IS THIS RIDICULOUS BUT IT IS CRIMINAL.

THE BEARING BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE FAN CLUTCH ON EXPLODE SENDING THE FANS INTO THE RADIATOR. WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU HAVE LIMITED BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS IS NOT FIRST ONE TO DO THIS TO ME. THIS TIME THE TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE BECAUSE OF HOW HOT THE PARTS WERE. ALL OF THE FAIL ON THE CUMMINS ENGINE. EACH TIME HAS BEEN AROUND 65MPH . THE SHOPS LAUGH ABOUT IT BEING ANOTHER WHEN YOU TOW IT IN.
