STEERING
I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 REGARDING THE STEERING LINKAGE. I HAD A FAILURE OF THE LINKAGE IN 2011 AND IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE HIM CHECK TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AFTER INSPECTION HE STATED "YES". I WAS PUT ON A LONG LIST AND WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE JUNE BEFORE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FOR THIS LONG WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." (QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE RECALL NOTICE). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PROVIDE PARTS, AND THE DEALERS NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL ON A MUCH MORE TIMELY BASIS. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH MINOR STEERING ISSUES, DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, LOTS OF "PLAY" IN THE WHEEL, SEEMS TO "WEAVE" FROM SIDE TO SIDE. HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE, WHEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON STEERING PARTS FOR MY TRUCK. CONTACTED THE DEALER IN JANUARY 2014, AS ADVISED. WAS PUT ON A LARGE WAITING LIST AND TOLD THAT THEY WERE ONLY BEING SENT ONE PART PER WEEK. IT IS NOW MARCH 21, 2014. TWO MONTHS LATER, STILL NOT FIXED. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY IN FACT, TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER!!!!! SENT THEM MALFUNCTIONING REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THEY ALL HAD TO BE SENT BACK. SO NO ONE HAS RECEIVED A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. MEAN WHILE, MY TRUCK CONTINUES TO DRIVE WORSE AND I AM NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BALL JOINTS. MY QUESTION IS, WHEN MY STEERING LINKAGE SNAPS CAUSING ME TO "LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE" (AS STATED IN THE RECALL LETTER) WHAT ARE MY ACTIONS OF RECOURSE? EVENTUALLY THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND PROBABLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS EVER FIXED AT THIS RATE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW, WHAT ELSE IS BEING DAMAGED DUE TO THIS SPECIFIC PART AND THE PROBLEMS IT MAY CAUSE. IF I GET THE REPLACEMENT PART, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SEVERAL MORE ITEMS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND WHAT I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN. WHAT DOES CHRYSLER INTEND TO DO WHEN I WRECK MY VEHICLE WITH THEM INSIDE???? THERE HAS GOT TO BE A QUICKER/BETTER WAY TO GET THESE REPAIRS DONE FOR THE PUBLIC. *TR

I HAVE CALLED AND VISITED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALER (LIBERTY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM- PATASKALA, OHIO) IN OHIO TO TRY AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED DUE TO THE RECALL. I HAVE HEARD EXCUSES FROM- WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS YET, WE WILL CALL YOU IN 3-4 WEEKS WHEN WE HAVE PARTS (NO CALL BACK), OUR SERVICE SUPERVISOR IS NOT IN RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK (WENT BACK A DAY LATER, THEY ARE IN MEETINGS ALL DAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THE RECALL), CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID WE STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS WE WILL CALL YOU BACK (NO CALL BACK, KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS 6 WEEKS AFTER THE ORIGINAL CALL DATE), THIS PAST WEEK I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID LET ME CHECK WITH OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A CALL BACK THIS AFTERNOON(NO CALL BACK). THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF OPPURTUNITIES TO ATLEAST BE CURTIOUS AND GIVE ME A CALL BACK TO UPDATE, LET ALONE FIX THE RECALL. I HAVE EVEN TOLD THEM MY FRONT TIRES HAVE EXTREME ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE INSIDES, AND THEY'RE RESPONSE WAS, WE WILL HAVE OUR SERVICE MANAGER CALL YOU BACK(NO CALL BACK). I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AS WE HAVE A 6 WEEK OLD BABY AND WE WILL NOT USE THE TRUCK TO TRANSPORT HER ANYWHERE DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN, SO WE HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO TAKE HER TO APPOINTMENTS, ETC. I WOULD LILKE MY TRUCK FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
HAULING A GOOSE NECK TRAILER EMPTY TO NEW MEXICO, SUDDENLY THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" OF THESE VEHICLES. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THE WHOLE FRONT END NEED TO BE "UPDATED" TO THE BIGGER BEEFIER SUSPENSION. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT CHRYSLER HAS CREATED A WHOLE KIT FOR DOING THIS UPGRADE. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT CONSIDER IN NEED OF THE RECALL REPLACEMENT JUST FOUR WEEKS PRIOR. THE SERVICE WRITER STRONGLY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR A FULL INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHILE INSPECTING HE KNEW THE FRONT END WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT NHTSA HAS STEPPED ON THE END OF ITS PECKER LIMITING THE RECALL TO ONE STYLE OF FRONT END ROD. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS DEFECT OF THE TRUCK. WORSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. NHTSA NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL DODGE TRUCKS WITHOUT THE BEEFIER FRONT END SUSPENSION. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN JANUARY 2014. MADE AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPAIRED/REPLACED AT FORT COLLINS DODGE FEBRUARY. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 4, AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BY JESSE. JESSE SUBSEQUENTLYL CALLED AN SAID THE APPOINTMENT WOULD BE CANCELED AS FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL WAS NEEDED. JESSE JUST CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND SAID THAT THE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS COULDN'T BE PERFORMED UNTIL AFTER APRIL 15. I NEED TO USE MY TRUCK TO PULL TRAILERS AND HAUL LOADS. WHAT IS A REASONABLE TIME TO EXPECT TO HAVE THIS DEFECT RESOLVED? WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? *TR

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 INDICATING A RECALL AGAINST MY TRUCK. TRAVELING IN SOUTHWEST US AND CONTACTED NEAREST DEALERSHIP IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY TRUCK AND DETERMINED MY TRUCK REQUIRED THE KIT TO FIX THE DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE KIT AND IN FACT WAS RECEIVING ONLY ONE KIT PER WEEK FROM DODGE. AND THEY HAD A WAITING LIST OF 60+ VEHICLES. CONTACTED THE OTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH SIMILAR (50+ WAITING LIST) RESULTS. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PER THE RECALL NOTICE. THE AGENT CALLED SEVERAL CITIES ALONG MY PLANNED TRAVEL AND EACH DODGE DEALER HAD THE VERY SAME SITUATION - 50 OR MORE VEHICLES ON THE WAITING LIST, WITH AN EXPECTED DELIVERY OF ONLY ONE KIT PER WEEK FROM CHRYSLER. AT THIS RATE, IT WILL TAKE ME A YEAR TO GET A SAFETY DEFECT FIXED. I AM NOW ON THE WAITING LIST AT THE DODGE DEALER NEAR MY HOME AND I AM APPROXIMATELY NUMBER 58 ON THE WAITING LIST. PROBLEM: SUFFICIENT REPAIR KITS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 SAFETY DEFECT. AND CURRENT KIT DELIVERY INDICATES THIS SITUATION WILL EXIST FOR MORE THAN A YEAR! MY SAFETY IS AT RISK! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
11/21/2013 5:00PM WHILE LEAVING LAKE CASTAIC, I NOTICED ABNORMAL EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING OF MY TRUCK. I WAS TOWING MY BOAT AND I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO POSSIBLY BEING TIRED AFTER A LONG DAY ON THE LAKE. I PULLED OVER AT CALGROVE EXIT OFF THE I 5 TO VISUALLY INSPECT MY TIRES AND ANYTHING NOTICEABLY WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK, SO I REDUCED MY SPEED AND TOOK PRECAUTION. JUST PRIOR TO BANDINI EXIT (S) 710 WE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WITHOUT WARNING MY TRUCK VEERED INTO TRAFFIC. THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN TO THE RIGHT AND THE WHEEL WOULD TURN FREELY TO THE LEFT, WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEELS. I HAPPEN TO BE A VERY STRONG INDIVIDUAL AND IT TOOK EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH TO MAINTAIN STABILITY AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. A PERSON WITH LESS STRENGTH, WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF A FULL SIZE TRUCK, WHILE TOWING A BOAT ON THE 710 FREEWAY IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. WITH A STROKE OF LUCK AND A BLESSING, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND SAFELY EXIT THE FREEWAY. I HAVE SINCE BEEN INFORMED BY CERRITOS DODGE , SERVICE ADVISOR DANIEL MORENO THAT THAT THE STEERING BOX BROKE RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1,689.00 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS AMOUNT AND THEN CONTEST CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED OUT OF CERRITOS DODGE AND CURRENTLY SITS IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S DRIVEWAY.
