ACCORDING TO VIN RECALL SEARCH IN JUNE 2015, THERE ARE 3, POSSIBLE 4 "RECALL INCOMPLETES" ON THE TRUCK, NHTSA RECALL #'S 09E001; 13V-528; 15V-313, AND/OR MANUFACTURER RECALL #'S H46; N62: R25 RESPECTFULLY, PLUS POSSIBLE AFTERMARKET PITMAN ARM RECALL. NO ACCIDENTS OR FAILURES DEALER SAYS MANUFACTURER IS ONLY RELEASING LIMITED AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES PER DEALER AND THEY CANNOT REORDER TILL CURRENT STOCK IS INSTALLED. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE TO WAIT TILL OTHERS AHEAD OF ME HAVE THEIR WORK COMPLETED AND THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES GETTING CUSTOMERS TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS. FOR SOME REASON, I KEEP MOVING DOWN THE RECALL LIST INSTEAD OF UP THE LIST. SEEMS UNREASONABLE TO TAKE SO LONG FOR THESE RECALLS, SOME OF WHICH ARE 2 TO 6 YEARS OLD.

STEERING
MY GRANDSON AND I WERE TAKING MY 2012 DODGE RAM TO THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY WORK WE WERE DOING AROUND 60 MPH WHEN WE CROSSED A RAIL ROAD CROSSING THE VEHICLE STARTED WOBBLING SO BAD I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE EVERYTHING ON THE DASH AND CENTER CONSOLE FLEW ON THE FLOOR ANYTHING IN THE BACK SEAT WENT UNDER THE FRONT SEAT IT SCARED BOTH OF US. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING BUT AXLE SEALS LEAKING BUT DID,NT HAVE TIME TO FIX THEM. I WORK IN THE NORTH DAKOTA OIL FIELDS I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE SO I GOT AN APPOINTMENT AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP 100 MILES AWAY THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG INCLUDING THE AXLE SEALS AND CHARGED ME 96.30. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE 1150 MILES TO NORTH DAKOTA WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS HOWEVER ON THE WAY BACK WAS ANOTHER STORY. MONTANA RAISED THEIR SPEED LIMIT TO 80 MPH AT SLIGHTLY OVER THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I WENT ACROSS ONE OF THOSE LITTLE BUMPS ON A BRIDGE I DID NOT THINK I WAS GOING TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BEFOR I WENT OFF THE ROAD OR IN TO THE GUARD RAIL IT DID THIS TO ME THREE MORE TIMES BEFOR I GOT HOW. I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A WOREN TIRE OR IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I FIND OUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST DODGE FOR THIS AND THEY RISK MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES LIFE NOT TO MENTION THE PEOPLE I COULD HAVE KILLED IF I HAD BEEN PASSING A TRUCK OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FREEWAY AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED AT 80 MPH SOMEONE USUALLY DIES IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY KIND OF SAFETY HAZARD WITH THIS PICKUP.
