The passenger side outer tie rod end fell out of the wheel. Violent shaking occurred but kept it in control and I stopped. Before this happened, in may of this year I stopped in to see if my vehicle had the tie rod that was under recall notice. The technician looked underneath and said "no your vehicle does not have the defective part." monday after this incident, I called chrysler and told them what happened and the representative (beth) since you did not have the malfunctioning (recall) part and because of the mileage on the truck, that there is nothing they can do. But she said to keep your receipts for repair in case there would be a recall notice for that part. I saved the defective part and had it fixed by an independent auto care specialist.

I severe steering wobble at highway speed after hitting a bump/ pothole in the roadway. S wobble stopped upon slowing. While driving can feel something bumping in the steering wheel anytime you hit a bump while on slight turn. I contacted several dealers in the ohio west virginia area I explained my difficulty they stated they only get parts to repair 1 vehicle per week. They stated there is a list over a hundred people and they could not help me even though they stated having possession of parts to perform 6 recalls either n 62 or h47. Elm grove dodge in elm grove wv and bob caldwell chrysler plymouth in columbus ohio also stated having parts to do 4 recalls they also stated having a long list and only receiving 1 recall part per week. The dealer in ri paul bailey dodge in north kingstown gave me this same story months ago said they would put me on the list as we'll. They never called. I contacted daimler chrysler 7/2/14 advised of them of my situation and I'm awaiting a follow up phone call 7/3/14 to advise me if they have found a dealer to assist me. I offered to drive 3 hours to caldwell chrysler in columbus ohio. Also I offered to leave the truck for a week or 2 for them to complete the repairs. This is a very serious condition. Ps I offered to buy the part they stated the new customer pay part requires the purchase of 3 additional steering linkage parts as the steering linkage has been upgraded and the new parts are not compatible with the oem parts installed new at the factory. However the tie bar associated with the recall is designed to be compatible with the oem steering linkage thus making it not necessary to replace 3 other steering parts daimler would not have to pay for. Please advise asap.
I received a recall notice in the mail this spring regarding a left tie rod replacedment. I notified don davis dodge in el campo, texas and they stated that they were waiting on parts. I contacted them several times and received the same answer. I called the complaint hotline on 3/10/2014. This week I received another recall notice in the mail for the same thing. I drove to el campo again today, june 1, 2014 and contacted the service department again with don davis dodge, and now they are saying that they have replaced the tie rod on several vehicles lately and have recently been notified that these replacement parts are not good, and they are still waiting on new parts for this recall. This seems to be the same problem at many dodge dealers. I can no longer drive this truck due to this defective part. When I turn to the right I feel it popping in the steering wheel and I was told by the service department at don davis that this is the symptom. They said that they replaced the tie rods on 2 vehicles that had just broken. Now, I can not drive this truck until I get this corrected. I use this truck to haul cattle and I need answers and assistance now. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The tie rod assembly broke while driving at approximately 25 MPH. I filed a complaint with your department in 2013, complaint #10507531, because chrysler stated that our manufacture date was not included in the 2006 recall. The recall has since been expanded to include my manufacture date. Now they are telling me that it is not covered because the recall is for mopar tie rods only, and that I would have to have it fail 2 times for it to be covered under recall. I am the 2nd owner of the truck and cannot verify how many times the tie rods may or may not have failed prior to my purchase. Also, since the repair was done prior to notification or knowledge of the recall, the failed part was not kept to see the manufacturer. All I do know is that the tie rod did fail and the steering went completely out on the truck while driving. This is a diesel model truck that is good for 250,000 to 350,000 miles. This should not have happened. Chrysler is denying my claim under the recall and told me to have a nice day. I am not satisfied and do not feel this is justifiable. If their intent is to blame the numerous tie rod failures on a particular brand of part, it does not explain why my tie rod failed if it had their part. I ask for your assistance. The failure should be included under the recall.

I received recall notice n62/the federal safety agency 13v‑528 regarding the steering linkage. I had a failure of the linkage in 2011 and it was repaired, but with the same defective parts. When I went to the dealer to have him check to see if the vehicle was included in the recall, after inspection he stated "yes". I was put on a long list and was told it might be june before the repair is completed due to unavailability of parts from chrysler. This is unacceptable to continue to operate the vehicle for this long with the potential that the defect could cause a loss of directional control and/or crash without warning." (quote directly from the recall notice). Chrysler needs to provide parts, and the dealers need to address this recall on a much more timely basis.
