The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 4500. The contact was traveling 4 mph when the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was towed was to the dealer and the contact was advised that the front driver's side tie rod had detached from the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that a recall applied to the contact's VIN under NHTSA campaign id number:10v657000(steering:linkages:tie rod assembly) but was repaired one year prior to the recent failure. The manufacturer offered to make the recall repairs on the vehicle for a second time. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,000.

My suspension/steering snapped and the dealer will not releases the vehicle to me and told me to call Dodge since there is an open recall on it. I have called 3 times and nobody calls back. My truck has been at the dealer since September 2015.
