Steering Failed problems of the 2009 Dodge Ram 2500

While having other recalls fixed it was discovered that the steering box was leaking and making noise while turning. The repair shop stated that there was no recall and that there were no repair parts available. The steering could fail anytime. Chrysler /Dodge should be fixing this issue as I have found that it is a problem that they know about. Vehicle has 80,000. Miles on it.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 13v529000 (steering) and 15v313000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. In addition, the contact stated that the front steering linkage failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. No further details on the failure were available. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car was brought in 5 times to have various front end recalls performed , two different dealers bedard brothers in cheshire mass. And beterra for stering recall (now n49/NHTSA 13v-529) previously same recall had two or three different numbers. They have never had the parts and could never perform the recall. Because they say that the steering may fail at any moment I have used the vehicle only when I absoluely have no other transoportation. Hence as of today the car has 17,200 miles only. The other problem is loss of coolant , the egr cooler has been leaking , I have had it at dealers three times and they have no clue how to repair . This is a common coplaint. Because this internal leak goes into the turbocharger. The turbocharger failed and on 7/08/13 had to be replaced at 16,150 miles . That was the symptom of the egr cooler leak, but the cause (leaking egr cooler was not addressed then or on two following trips to the dealers. On to bedard and one to berterra. The Chrysler case number may be 24954056 after dealers worked on car two trouble codes appeared p052 and p0700 I don't want to continue driving a car that the steering will fail at any moment or the engine may blow because of coolant loss.
