I have never been notified the federal safety agency recall id 14v‑795-broken springs in clutch assembly. Never notified of the federal safety agency recall id 13v‑528-faulty left tie rod assembly. The left side does make a clunking sound. I was just notified (late) of the federal safety agency recall id 15v‑313- faulty air bags. It's been a month, I was informed they had no parts and I had to wait until notified again when parts are available. My son and his children ride in my truck with such a great hazard and I'm told to wait until they have parts? I cannot afford to wait nor can I afford to buy another vehicle while I own this one. I work for a non-profit company and have limited resources. What about the recalls I was never notified of? I would like fca to buy my vehicle back.
