1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2019

The throttle linkage is a recall. I took it to douglas chrystler Jeep Dodge ram dealer in venice, FL and they said they couldn't help me because the recall had already been performed once. Seeing that it is a safety recall I was under the impression that they would take care of it but when I called they said they can only replace a recall item once. Vehicle lunges forward when I am at a stop light and idles high.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2014

I own a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500, I have noticed this problem on multiple Dodges and read about it on the internet, the front lower axle mount rots out due to poor design leaving nothing to hold the spring in place my coil mount is rotted out and there is barely any left of it, and Dodge nor do any auto part stores sell coil mounts to replace it the mount is welded directly on the axle so the axle housing would need to be replaced, this is very unsafe if the axle were to give out dew to this.
