I rcvd recall notice n49/ the federal safety agency 13v‑529 for my dodge. I called jim click dodge, in tucson, arizona, the dealership where I purchased the vehicle to schedule the repair. I was told that it would 65 weeks (over one year) for the part to come in for the repair. I believe this is an excessive amount of time for a part to be ordered and come in for a safety recall.

While rounding a left hand curve, lost control of the vehicle when the vehicle suddenly jerked hard to the left. The vehicle then started an uncontrollable spin and went over an embankment and into a dry creekbed. The vehicle sustained substantial damage. On inspection the front left tie rod assembly was broken. Myself and my 14 yr son sustained minor injuries. We later received notice from chrysler on 12/24/2013 of the recall of our vehicle for same failure of tie rod assembly.
When I buy the vehicle it show that was fix, when I buy the vehicle it broke again for the second time with in 4 month of the buy. Now for the 3rd time I get a recall notification to replace it again. My complain is that I being driving all this time thinking that was fix good and my live its being on risk because it shows that it never was fix properly. I buy this vehicle because my job the depends on this truck and I can drive something that can kill me with out knowing it. Thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle began shaking uncontrollably. The shaking ceased once the contact applied the brakes. The failure was recurring and the vehicle was constantly taken to the dealer over a two year span. The technicians were never able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was also included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v529000 (steering) but could not confirm if the failures were related. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
I was driving on I-10 going west by blthe, ca I went over a bridge and ran over the joint between the bridge and the road the truck went into a speed wobble it didn't stop until I got on the brakes hard down to 40 MPH I have had it happen several times more always at bridges or rough spots on the road.
While in reverse and turning left, the left tie rod end snapped at the ball joint. It appears to be a geometry problem, not all about a faulty part. Chrysler stated the part had already been replaced during recall l16, but it has not fixed the problem. Customer service stated they will only replace the part once under the recall.
While leaving church in parking lot turning left backing up heard loud clunk tried to go forward truck did not want to move. Got out and looked and saw tie rod had broken. Vehicle was in dealership march 12 for tie rod recall 12600 miles they said no problems with tie rod and did nothing with it. Obviously there is a problem tie rods do not wear out in 27000 easy miles.
Left tie rod broke while reversing. New tie rod replaced by dealership. This despite recall previously being performed and original tie rod found to be "within specs."
While driving my 2011 dodge ram on the freeway, the front end started shaking so violently that the hood latch popped, and forced me to the side of the road. Towed to dealer nothing found wrong continued this 10 to 15 times until it took me across two lanes of traffic to the center median on the interstate at 70 MPH.the steering arm and dampener was replaced. Continued the same problem 3 more times and 3 separate dealers have looked at vehicle and made repairs. I have 15,000 miles on vehicle and continue to have same issues and dodge will not make it right. I have a 50,000 dollar death trap that I am expected to drive or trade to an unexpected family!
While backing a trailer into my driveway. The drivers side tie rod broke off. I contacted the dealer and they stated that my truck was not covered under the l16 safety recall. Strange that my trucks VIN does not fit into the recall but it broke just like the trucks that are covered in the recall have broken. I have the broken tie rod if you want it.
I was backing out of my parents driveway and turned the wheel to the left and the ball joint broke in half.
Vehicle went into the "dodge death wobble" which almost caused a crash as the vehicle was hard to control. We were north of amarillo tx when it first happened. It did it at least 11 more times as we drove to oklahoma city. We kept driving slower and slower as the "dodge death wobble" would not stop until we got the speed down to 30 MPH. It happened again 3 times on 8/12/13 as I drove from jones, ok to the dealer in guthrie ok. I do have video's of the last 2 "dodge death wobbles". The dealer is telling me they fixed the vehicle by putting in one bolt that was missing. I feel this vehicle is not safe to drive. I'd rather not ever get it back, but if I do, I feel all the parts in the front end should be replaced because of the trauma all the parts went through during at least 15 events of the "dodge death wobble". You'd have to be in the vehicle to realize how violent the shaking is when it does the "dodge death wobble".
Truck suddenly started bouncing all over the road. Felt as though all four tires had suddenly gone flat. Extremely difficult to maintain control and went into oncoming lane sideways. Inspection did not show any failed component (tire, steering system, etc). Check engine light illuminated for a day, then went off. Light illuminated again, with no indication of problem. Loss of control has happened three more times since first occurrence. Similar speeds during each event, with two different operators. Serious difficulty retaining control to stop the vehicle and roll over/crash concerns preclude attempting to duplicate event. Dealership has been unresponsive to date. I will never trust the oncoming dodge truck until this is addressed. People are going to die. It is sad.
Driver side tie rod end snapped in a turn on a curvy country road.
The truck experienced the dodge death wobble and I have spoke with chrysler and they are not working to correct an issue with their product that has been know about since 1994 and has had many recalls for this issue needs to be resolved before people get hurt or killed from the vehicle losing control and cause traffic accidents. The vehicle shakes uncontrollably and has even ripped the steering wheel from my hands while driving and had to come to almost a complete stop before it would quit.
Traveling on interstate highway for about an hour or 74 miles, at highway speed. Suddenly the steering and or front wheels and axle started shaking violently from side to side. Shaking the entire vehicle out of control and into the median.the violent wobble and or shaking was so severe it blew the steering hose off causing the lose of fluid , steering and braking. Had my wife been driving, there was no way she could have held it together. Thankfully I got it stopped without a rollover or involving another vehicle. Something must be done before someone is killed by this poorly engineered front end. I've learned sense then many others are having this problem. Please get something done in behalf of consumers about this matter before someone is killed.

While driving north on hwy101 at approx 70mph I drove over an expansion joint when the front end of the vehicle began to violently shake to the point of almost losing control. I was forced to brake to a complete stop in the number one lane/shoulder and though the ABS was activated it didn't seem effective due to the violent shaking (I believe the front wheels where actually leaving the ground). I was able to hold the vehicle in a generally straight direction but did not have complete control. Once I came to a stop the violent shaking stopped and I was able to continue normally. This was the second incident of a similar occurrence. I had the alignment and steering components checked and all seemed to be within standard tolerances.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while in reverse he noticed a vibration in the steering wheel, brake pedal, and in the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated the rack and pinion would have to be replaced. After the repair, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
Truck circulating dirt road after 25 miles constant. The billet shock tower, left deformed material fatigue. Deforming the chassis support area, and the shock is destroyed. Generating a wobble uncontrollably, cutting rods. Both wheels being uncontrolled. The upper coil support, shows a clear in its zone fatigue. This same fault happened at 3500 miles, and chrysler dealer in chile, just change the bars tracks.
