On highway 174, approximately 20 miles nw of meridian, tx, the 2012 ram 3500 veered to the right and went off the road into a steep ditch. According to the state trooper's report, a witness was driving behind this truck and saw the passenger side dual wheels with axle attached come off of the truck and go across the road before the truck left the pavement. Two different employees of the wrecking yard where the truck was taken said it looks like the axle came apart. Since this accident, I have spoken to another individual that this happened to also.

Traveling on highway at aprox 65 MPH, when approaching an overpass the surface height of the lanes shifted up (bump). The front end of the truck started shaking uncontrollably, steering wheel was yanked from my hands. I had to slow down to gain control, which caused the vehicles behind me to slam on there brakes and veer off aggressively to avoid hitting my truck. Terrifying and embarrassing event.

Recall 13v529000 still not performed. Have been on waiting list for almost a year. No parts available????
This recall has been our for over 6 months for the left tie rod. There have been reported failure of this unit leading to loss of steering control. I tried to schedule a recall appointment with my dealer, towbin dodge to have the parts replaced under this recall. I was told that I was number 42 on the list 6 months ago!! I am now number 24. The pace of replacement is criminal. There is no reason this can't be done faster specifically with such a critical steering component...

When I asked dealer about this recall, the dealer (service) claimed they could not get the part from manufacturer. Can you send the part to me and I can take it over to have fixed.

My vehicle is subject to recall n49/the federal safety agency 13v‑529 re: left tie rod. I received notice of recall quite some time ago. I called my local dealer, lithia dodge of missoula, mt and got on "the list" of persons who are subject to the same recall but we are all waiting for parts. I think I got on the list in december. I have followed up once or twice with the dealer and they tell me they are still waiting on parts from dodge to satisfy this recall. Please look into this and tell me what my rights are. Thank you.

Vehicle inspected in june '14 by closest dealership, 90 miles one way, as recall notice requires service rep reported replacement requirement and will inform me when parts arrive. No reply, called service center sept 8 to be told they still do not have parts from chrysler. I called chrysler group recall assistance center at 1‑800‑853‑1403, talked to "dennis" who stated parts are not readly available and somewhat blamed the dealership and didn't know when parts would be sent. I travel baja mexico and expected this to be repaired prior to oct 15 is there truly a problem or not?

I purchased my vehicle new and was not notified about a recall for the tie rod ends. After learning of the recall I contacted my local dealer only to discover they have no parts to make the repairs and I am approximately number 800 on the waiting list. This recall is a safety issue and I feel the manufacturer should be forced to quit dragging their feet and get the necessary parts to the local dealers for installation. It doesn't take this long for them to build thousands of complete vehicles.

The failure recurred and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Each truck, was recalled under the steering recall, where the left outer tie rod was replaced. In addition to the recall, there were failures to other parts of the steering.

I was notified by letter concerning recall n49 / the federal safety agency 13v‑529 in december 2013 to setup an appointment with the local dealer after january 6, 2014. At first, I was told "no parts, try again in 2 weeks", then "no parts, come back at end of february", then "no parts, we've put you on the list, you'll get called when we know more". After waiting 3 months of not hearing anything, I stopped by the local dealership again just to get "we lost the list, but have a pallet of parts; however they are confirmed for the local military vehicle fleet that was brought in last week. We'll call you if and when we get something, but it could be another year." I have put 14000 miles on the truck in all sorts of situations that could result in a failure and drive at least 100 miles a day. The customer service affiliated with this recall is abysmal at best. The recall assistance center has been of no assistance in getting the repairs handled.

We have tried to have recall completed for 6 months with no success. This is a company work truck that is driven hard everyday and on the road 6 hours a day. We have 2 more units in our fleet and have not had any success getting recalls ccompleted on any of the vehicles.
Received safety recall from dodge about steering. The recall states that the dealer "will repair" the vehicle. To do this the dealer "will replace steering components". Lee dodge in westbrook maine, wants me to bring the truck to them so the service writer can look under the truck to "determine" if it needs repair!! The recall notice has already told me that the truck does indeed need replacement parts. Are we to drive the truck until an accident happens?
