About 11 months ago I received a recall notice from chrysler for my 2008 dodge ram 2500 pick up truck, it was for a suspension problem with the tie rods, recall #n49/the federal safety agency 13v‑529 I called my local dodge dealer where I bought the truck and they said they could not get the parts, I called several months later and they told me the replacement parts had been "recalled". I have contacted them numerous times still no parts. I have called chrysler several times and get the same run around, no parts available. This is a real safety issue as the failure of the parts could cause me to crash. I would think chrysler would be nervous as the liability issue could be very expensive. What if they fail and someone is killed, is this my fault would I be liable? This has been going on for almost a year and still not resolved.
While traveling on an interstate highway the vehicle hit a bump and began to shake violently. I slowed the vehicle and the shaking subsided however steering control was minimally maintained. Subsequent bumps or increase in speed resulted in the shaking. The vehicle was stopped and inspected. At that time it was observed the right tie rod end had become completely detached from the steering knuckle. The vehicle was towed to a dodge dealer. The dealer indicated this vehicle was not part of the recall and replaced the right tie rod assembly at my expense. Further inspection showed the left tie rod end also showed excessive wear and was also subsequently replaced.

2008 dodge ram 3500. Consumer writes in regards to left tie rod recall notice. *smd the consumer stated the tie rod broke causing his truck to cross traffic, which resulted in him landing in a ditch. Chrysler sent the consumer a letter stating the repair order he submitted, did not show replacement of parts or services involved in the recall. According to the invoice, the right outer tie rod end broke and damaged the right sway bar end link.

I have received an recall notice in january 2014. I was told to wait until april to set up an appointment for servicing my vehicle. It is now the end of august. I have made repeated phone calls and I was told that I am on the list. Call back in a month. I have and now it is just a nuisance. I have called other dealerships and they have told me that customers have called in december and their vehicles are still on the list to get repaired. Why would a manufacture have a recall when they can not honor it. The letter stated, "important safety recall n49/the federal safety agency 13v‑529", is a joke. This notice should not be sent out unless they can honor it!

At higher speeds the front end starts to shake violently (death wobble) to the point of loosing control, you have to come to a complete stop to get it to stop which can be a problem when driving on the freeway I've took it to the dealer and they said it was the ball joints so I had them replaced it didn't help I also replaced the shocks and steering dampener all this at my own expense. I've had the truck in twice for recalls on the tie rod ends also. From the research I have done online it seems that alot of owners are having the same trouble with no help from dodge to correct the problem.

Received notice approximately 6 months ago, same story as the other complaints I've seen for this same issue. Dealer states that they don't have parts... Not enjoying driving my family around thinking about the possibility of having an accident for the entire duration that we've known about this. Hard to fathom why they even bothered to send out notice with no ability to follow through and remedy the defect.
While driving this truck at approximately 60 miles an hour I hit a expansion joint as I was on a slight left turn cause the vehicle to shake violently almost losing control until I slowed down to below 30 miles an hour then the suspension stabilized. This has occurred on many occasions since the first incident and I have learned to anticipate when this may occur and expect it. I have taken vehicle to have suspension check and they have found no problems. It was recommended that I put a dual shock absorbing steering stabilizer on this vehicle. This was done and did not correct the problems.
There has not yet been an incident but we have been trying to comply with this safety recall since january 20, 2014 and our dealer does not yet have the part from chrysler to repair our truck. Why?? I believe the dealer to be honest in their attempt to obtain the parts and do not understand why there is not a designated operation to produce and provide these needed safety corrections.

I received a recall notice back in january 2014 and it stated to contact the dealer to have the recall maintenance done. I have called and tried for 5 months to get an appointment to have my ram looked at, to no avail. I keep being told that they are waiting for parts. If chrysler initiated this recall why don't they have the parts to fix it. My neighbor has a ram also and he is in the same position. What can I do to get my ram repaired? The recall # is n49/the federal safety agency 13v‑529.

Submission from constituents re 2008 dodge ram 2500 pick up truck recall notice. (full document not imaged). *smd the consumer stated, he experienced problems with the truck for several years. Whenever he went out of town, the vehicle would severely vibrate. The problems included, the tie rods and front end issues. Finally, the problem was identified in a recall letter, he received. Also, the egr had to be replaced at a cost of $ 950.
I received recall notice n49/agency13v-529 and took my vehicle to a local dodge dealership in january 2014. I was placed on a waiting list for parts to be ordered. I called the dealership in march 2014 and was told the parts were on back order. It is now june and I am being told the part is still on back order. I do not feel comfortable operating my vehicle on the freeway knowing there is a discrepancy with my steering. I also do not think a 6 month wait to repair a safety recall is timely or acceptable. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
