I have never been notified NHTSA recall id 14v-795-broken springs in clutch assembly. Never notified of NHTSA recall id 13v-528-faulty left tie rod assembly. The left side does make a clunking sound. I was just notified (late) of NHTSA recall id 15v-313- faulty air bags. It's been a month, I was informed they had no parts and I had to wait until notified again when parts are available. My son and his children ride in my truck with such a great hazard and I'm told to wait until they have parts? I cannot afford to wait nor can I afford to buy another vehicle while I own this one. I work for a non-profit company and have limited resources. What about the recalls I was never notified of? I would like fca to buy my vehicle back.

Bad and worn out tie rods, leaking front shocks.

While driving during normal road conditions, at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle will begin to shake and vibrate excessively. This usually occurs when a bump in the road is hit or when taking a curve in the road at the mentioned speed. Shaking and vibrating only decreases when vehicle speed is reduced below 50 mph. Have replaced shocks and in the process of replacing tie rod ends to see if this alleviates the issue. Have also experienced issues with the vehicle shutting off during normal operation, the will sputter and stall out when coming to a stop, this issue has occurred four times in the past.

Safety recall notice n62/ NHTSA 13v-528 - left tie rod. After going to Chrysler for a replacement, I was told that it would take 52 weeks before the Dodge service department will receive the part for replacement. I believe this an acceptable time frame and not acceptable considering that failure of the part as described in the recall notice, could be a high risk event, placing myself and my family at risk.

2007 Dodge Ram 1500 mega cab 4x4 with previous recall for front steering linkage drivers side tie rod snapped while driving making me loose control of the vehicle. Recently notified by dealership during a routine maintenance that a recall for this item had been issued. I never received recall notice from Dodge. Dealership confirmed that the left tie rod needs to be replaced under the n62 recall. Dealership inspected per Dodge direction and confirmed it was safe to drive vehicle. I was placed on waiting list for part. Part would not be available until may possibly. Dealership is only allowed to order 1 recall kit per week per the service manager. I noticed Dodge customer service and was issued case number. Vehicle is at dealership service at this point and I am waiting for response.

My family and I were driving home a few days ago when suddenly the steering wheel jerked hard left while the front end of the truck started sliding into oncoming traffic. I corrected the wheel but it was so loose that we fish tailed the other direction. The steering wheel was violently whipping back and forth as I tried desperately to gain control. Finally the truck straightened out and seemed to be functioning normally after the near catastrophic accident. The following day I took the truck and it started screeching like dragging metal under the drivers side floorboard. I got out to see if anything was dragging from the truck, but didn't see anything. I made it home but it was screeching off and on. The next day when I jacked the wheel off the ground to check under the car I found that the wheel was very loose. I started doing some research online to diagnose the problem and I soon found two recalls for my truck. The first recall was a faulty left tie rod assembly and another was an unreliable wheel hub assembly. I called Chrysler corp. To get my truck fixed but I was told that it was not part of any of the recalls. I verified that my truck was on both recall lists and she agree while explaining every vehicle in that particular production wasn't recalled.

The outer tie rods are worn again. I had them replaced already once, at approximately 22,000 miles. Don't think that they should wear so fast, this will be the 3rd set including the originals. I see that Dodge has recalled the 2008 my and greater, but not 2007. I think with a late model 2007, chances are the parts are the same as the 2007 my. I think Dodge should pay for this 2nd repair and provide some sort of warranty for it for the future.

I have a 2007 Dodge ram megacab, I experience what ive come to hear people call "death wobble" in the truck. I bought the truck in November of 2010, the truck was inspected, I drove the truck on the highway, was driving at 100-120km/hr then experience a shaking in the truck, a violent shaking, much more severe then misalignment or part wear. I arrived in fredricton, got service done on vehicle, and had front end checked out, all was good. Recently I was driving on highway and death wobble happened again, and sheared my outer tie rod end off. It wasnot a failure from the ball in the socket, it was the shaft that goes through the steering knuckle that was sheared off. Called and asked Dodge if they had any issuses with uncontrollable shaking in their trucks, aka death wobble they said they havent. I have a pretty good background in mechanics, I know the death wobble is not right, and ive never seen a tie rod shear off like that before.

My truck shakes violently when I drive in excess of 57 mph. When I hit a bump in the road (specifically the seems between the road pavement and the concrete bridges) or am in a curve, the shaking is even worse. The only solution is slowing down to 20-30 mph. I have replaced my steering suspension, had my tires rebalanced, had my tires rotated, and had diagnostics checks on tie rods, struts, bearings, etc. To no avail.

Vehicle was brought for oil change at dealership. At time, they found excessive play in both outer tie rod ends. Both tie rod ends were replaced and set toe, which was covered under warranty.
