I received an official recall notice for my vehicle (recall notice N49/NHTSA 13V-529) affecting the left tie rod. I have tried having my truck serviced at two different dealerships for this recall since receiving this notice in late December 2013. The dealerships have not been able to schedule my service because they say Chrysler is having difficulty sending the replacement parts. The repair delay (three months) is unreasonable and should be addressed with Chrysler. Is it possible for owners like me to purchase quality after market parts to repair/address only the recall issues and have Chrysler cover the cost if Chrysler is having difficulty finding suitable quality parts vendors?

I received a safety recall N49/NHTSA 13V-529 which requested that I contact the dealer after January 6, 2014 and set up an appointment. When I contacted the dealer shortly after that date with the recall number they informed me that they did not have the parts to correct and they would notify me when they arrived. I have called back twice to check on the status of the part and was given the same answer that they did not have the parts to repair the safety recall. I would expect that if this is a safety issue they would make every effort to get it corrected. I have used this vehicle very little due to this issue. I would appreciate any help you can bring to bear on Dodge to get this resolved.

N49 safety recall. No parts available. Vehicle is wandering from part wear/fatigue. I am told could take up to 8 months to get part and make repairs. I use this vehicle to make my living, if it is unsafe to drive, what am I supposed to do? I need assistance, Chrysler says they feel for my situation, but that it is not their issue but a supplier issue. I purchased my truck from Chrysler not the supplier, I believe that it is Chrysler's responsibility to either fix my truck in a timely manner or provide a replacement. 8 months is not timely or acceptable, please help.
