Have a safety recall N49/NHTSA 13V-529 called dealer and told that Chrysler only sending 1 part per week. I am #89 on the list. That's a year & a half out. Very dangerous. Do I have to park my truck for that long?
- Gunnison, CO, USA
Recall N49. I got a notice from Dodge that my call is on recall for the left tie rod ball stud on my truck may fracture. This could cause a loss of directional control and crash without warning. I made an appointment to get it fix and was told I have to wait 36 week before the part are here. This is unacceptable because the car could crash. My dealer is airpark Dodge in scottsdale Arizona 480 556 7400.

Was at home, backing out of drive way, , the driver side tie rod fell off! could not get a tow truck inside my drive to take to the dealership to get fixed. So I got a buddy to help me remove the old tie rod end and replace it with a moog tie rod end. Had it realigned. My complaint is Dodge won't reimburse me for the parts and labor. Dodge supposedly checked this out 3-27-12 at bill hodges Dodge in vinita, ok. They did a measurement and decided it was ok. Well not so!, it broke in my drive way backing straight back. What if I had been driving down the turnpike 75 mph? if it needs checked on a recall it needs to be replaced!!!!

Backing up horse trailer and tie rod end broke completely off driver side. Vehicle was inspected on 3/12/12 per recall but nothing was done. Its a shame dealers are sending you off with steering components that are not safe.
