I was notified by letter concerning recall N49 / NHTSA 13V-529 in December 2013 to setup an appointment with the local dealer after January 6, 2014. At first, I was told "no parts, try again in 2 weeks", then "no parts, come back at end of February", then "no parts, we've put you on the list, you'll get called when we know more". after waiting 3 months of not hearing anything, I stopped by the local dealership again just to get "we lost the list, but have a pallet of parts; however they are confirmed for the local military vehicle fleet that was brought in last week. We'll call you if and when we get something, but it could be another year." I have put 14000 miles on the truck in all sorts of situations that could result in a failure and drive at least 100 miles a day. The customer service affiliated with this recall is abysmal at best. The recall assistance center has been of no assistance in getting the repairs handled.

Received safety recall from Dodge about steering. The recall states that the dealer "will repair" the vehicle. To do this the dealer "will replace steering components". lee Dodge in westbrook Maine, wants me to bring the truck to them so the service writer can look under the truck to "determine" if it needs repair!! the recall notice has already told me that the truck does indeed need replacement parts. Are we to drive the truck until an accident happens?

I have received two safety recalls on my Dodge pickup. I took it to martin swanty Dodge in kingman, AZ.. the first time I was told the company had not informed them of what they were to do to fix this problem. The second time I took it there they said they would order the parts and call me when they came in. It has been two months and I have heard nothing. I feel that since the recall is for a tie rod ball that may crack, my life and the lives of my family are in danger. I want them to fix it. But, I sure would like them to do it soon.

Left tie rod ball stud. Still waiting. What good is a truck I cant use afraid to drive could cause lose of steering. Bought from anderson Dodge in rockford Illinois.

- Rockford, IL, USA

Received safety recall around Jan 2014 stating that the left tie rod ball stud on my truck may fracture. Contacted miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep in gallatin, tn in Feb 2014 and was told that the parts are not available due to high demand and that their service department would call me when the part came in. I have called multiple times with the same results. I took my truck in on May 20, 2014 for routine service and was told that parts were ordered on that day to fix the recalled left tie rod ball stud. After no follow up from the dealer, I went back to the service department on July 10, 2104 and was told that I had 21 other customers ahead of me waiting on the same recall. Moreover, the dealership stated that they were only getting enough parts in to service only 4 trucks per month. This translates to at least a 5 month waiting period. This is unacceptable and unsafe.

This complaint is in regards to our safety recall notice for a left tie rod ball stud. Upon examination by our local dealership, it was determined our vehicle was in need of repair. We were then told the part would take at least a month to come in, and until then, we would be driving at our own "risk" and the pickup could crash without warning. Being a mother of three, we obviously would not take this chance, and are now without a vehicle for at least a month. We find it reprehensible that Dodge would leave it's customers stranded for an unacceptable amount of time, without offer of a rental or any other compensation for this dangerous inconvenience. The next time I need a vehicle, I will be passing by the Dodge dealership. Horrendous lack of responsibility by a company who is only interested in their bottom line.

Received safety recall around March of 2012 N49 left tie rod ball stud may fracture. Contacted hunter Dodge in lancaster, ca and was told that the parts are not available due to high demand and hunter Dodge would call me when they part comes in. I have called 3 times with the same results. I just received a second recall telling me to have the service done. Contacted service department and got the same run around with no promise that the part would be available. I contacted haddad Dodge in bakersfield and an appointment has been set for 7-27-14 at 7:30 am. Some one needs to investigate hunter Dodge and find out why I have to drive an unsafe vehicle because they cannot get this tie rod ball stud. It has been 5 months since my first contact and they still can't service this recall.
