Recall n49/the federal safety agency 13v‑529.... There is a major recall on our truck, chrysler has no parts to fix any of these trucks, we are driving vehicles that the left tie rod ball stud may fracture under certain driving conditions and could cause loss of directional control and/or crash without warning...how would you like to be driving this truck when this happens??? We are in our 70s, we bought a new truck so we would not have vehicle problems and could travel without worry. Now we have a huge worry and dodge could care less...they have no idea when the parts will be available and we are driving a time bomb because they cannot fix them, we want the parts to fix the truck or we want our money back so we can buy a vehicle we do not have to worry about. We live in a very rural area and have to travel long distances for medical and appointments, we want something done now not later...we need a safe vehicle...I have written to our senators and congressmen...

In august 2012 the engine warning light came on. It was taken to dodge dealer numerous times for repair. They would reset saying chrysler would not allow repairs. In october the dodge dealer kept the vehicle until a week or so before christmas 2012. The engine warning light has stayed off. However within a few days of the vehicles return, I received a recall notice regarding the left tie rod ball stud....which could cause crash without warning. I immediately called the dodge dealer. He said chrysler was not supplying the repair parts. He put me on a list. I have called the dealer many times and he says I am at the top of the list for repairs but chrysler is only shipping one or two parts for the repairs per month.

Re: safety recall n49 / the federal safety agency / 13v - 529 on mar 12, 2014 I received this recall notice. I'm currently wintering in yuma, az and about to return to alberta on march 28. The fisher dodge, yuma confirmed the recall is necessary however they have 200 vehicles on backlog and they receive about one replacement part per week. I then phoned my home dealer (cochrane dodge) and they have 6 pages of backlog and only receive a replacement part every couple of weeks. I am pulling a 10,000 plus pound fifth wheel trailer at interstate speeds for about 2500 kms. Needless to say, my wife and I are very concerned. The your safety recall letter states "if your dealer fails to remedy this defect...within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint". I think several months (if not years) is too long to wait for this steering component recall repair.
