Traveling on highway at aprox 65 mph, when approaching an overpass the surface height of the lanes shifted up (bump). The front end of the truck started shaking uncontrollably, steering wheel was yanked from my hands. I had to slow down to gain control, which caused the vehicles behind me to slam on there brakes and veer off aggressively to avoid hitting my truck. Terrifying and embarrassing event.

- Kent, WA, USA
This recall has been our for over 6 months for the left tie rod. There have been reported failure of this unit leading to loss of steering control. I tried to schedule a recall appointment with my dealer, towbin Dodge to have the parts replaced under this recall. I was told that I was number 42 on the list 6 months ago!! I am now number 24. The pace of replacement is criminal. There is no reason this can't be done faster specifically with such a critical steering component...

My vehicle is subject to recall N49/NHTSA 13V-529 re: Left tie rod. I received notice of recall quite some time ago. I called my local dealer, lithia Dodge of missoula, mt and got on "the list" of persons who are subject to the same recall but we are all waiting for parts. I think I got on the list in December. I have followed up once or twice with the dealer and they tell me they are still waiting on parts from Dodge to satisfy this recall. Please look into this and tell me what my rights are. Thank you.

Vehicle inspected in June '14 by closest dealership, 90 miles one way, as recall notice requires service rep reported replacement requirement and will inform me when parts arrive. No reply, called service center Sept 8 to be told they still do not have parts from Chrysler. I called Chrysler group recall assistance center at 1-800-853-1403, talked to "dennis" who stated parts are not readly available and somewhat blamed the dealership and didn't know when parts would be sent. I travel baja Mexico and expected this to be repaired prior to Oct 15 is there truly a problem or not?

I purchased my vehicle new and was not notified about a recall for the tie rod ends. After learning of the recall I contacted my local dealer only to discover they have no parts to make the repairs and I am approximately number 800 on the waiting list. This recall is a safety issue and I feel the manufacturer should be forced to quit dragging their feet and get the necessary parts to the local dealers for installation. It doesn't take this long for them to build thousands of complete vehicles.
