Waiting for 2 months for recall deemed unsafe to drive.

I have received my fourth recall notice for n49/NHTSA 13v-529. Dealer in lexington park still has no parts. I am on waiting list for the past 4 months. Chrysler is failing to take action on recall.

I received the recall notice in January 2014 and went to my local dealer. They said to check back in February. I called in February and they said check back in March. I was told that the parts aren't even available. I checked again in April, they said call back in may which I did and my parts were ordered may 1, 2014. It's June 9, 2014 and I called my dealer to find out when to bring my truck back. They said it will be a couple months because they are only given a couple parts at a time. Fortunately I've not had an accident but you would think for a steering defect the manufacturer would make this part a priority. My complaint is that neither the manufacturer of the vehicle nor the faulty part have remotely responded in an acceptable timeframe for a defect that could result in serious injury or property damage.

I purchased this vehicle from stew hansen ram on April 3, 2014. During the purchase procedure, I was not fully informed of the existing recall n49. It was not until several weeks later when I received an email notice of an oil change being due that I found out about the recall, as it was included in the maintenance notice. I then found out about the parts unavailability. I was very clear when buying the vehicle that I would be towing a travel trailer to CA with it this summer. I believe the dealer was quite remiss in not informing me of the situation prior to the sale. I also believe it should be illegal to sell a recalled vehicle that has not been repaired, especially one with potential loss of steering control. The dealer has been unable to provide a time frame for repair.

I am a marine stationed aboard mcas new river in jacksonville nc. I had just dropped my son off at his babysitter. I arrived at work and as I was pulling into my parking spot I noticed that my truck would not turn. I came to a stop just before I hit the truck next to me. I put the truck in reverse and I noticed a dragging sound coming from the front of my truck. I got out of the cab and checked it out. That is when I noticed that the left tie bar had sheared from the ujoint. I was lucky that I was not driving at a high rate of speed while my son was in the truck when this happened. To survive 4 deployments to iraq but to only get killed by a broken bolt. When I dropped it off I was told that it would get fixed with the same hardware that failed in the first place because they new parts were not available. I am a helicopters mechanic and I am not new to safety and quality maintenance so the idea of putting the same part on that failed before does not seem right to me. If it were something in the entertainment system or maybe the comfort control, I could see something like this being done. Not the steering!!! we are being told that I would not be able to have courtesy vehicle from the dealer because they don't offer them because of recalls. So they tell me that they will fix my truck with recalled parts and give it back to me to drive until parts come in. Really!! so I risk the lives of my family members cause Dodge wants to safe a buck. I don't believe that I am responsible for this and Dodge should stand behind the product it produces. This is a safety concern that must be addressed. It leaves me and other families no choice but to drive a dangerous vehicle.

Received notice of safety issue with steering components and was told it would be more than a year to warranty the problem. This is not acceptable as this is a safety issue and we tow with this truck!!!! further more I tried to call the 800 327 4236 # and got nothing but a sales pitch and when answering not interested I was hung up on twice! why are government lines being used for sales pitches rather than service? because of this I have not been able to file a complaint.

I have not had an accident, but there is serious potential for one. Regarding Chrysler safety recall n49 / NHTSA 13v-529: this is a recall for a serious problem that can affect the vehicle's steering. Two different Dodge dealers have told me that they can only order a few parts each week. Here in susanville, CA, there are at least 37 trucks on the repair list, and Chrysler can only deliver 1 part per week! the last person on that list has to wait 9 months to get his truck fixed. In the meantime, we all have to drive on mountain roads and risk losing our steering. This is atrocious.
