Consumer Description
RECALL N49/NHTSA 13V-529.... THERE IS A MAJOR RECALL ON OUR TRUCK, CHRYSLER HAS NO PARTS TO FIX ANY OF THESE TRUCKS, WE ARE DRIVING VEHICLES THAT THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING...HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS??? WE ARE IN OUR 70S, WE BOUGHT A NEW TRUCK SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE VEHICLE PROBLEMS AND COULD TRAVEL WITHOUT WORRY. NOW WE HAVE A HUGE WORRY AND DODGE COULD CARE LESS...THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WE ARE DRIVING A TIME BOMB BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIX THEM, WE WANT THE PARTS TO FIX THE TRUCK OR WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK SO WE CAN BUY A VEHICLE WE DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. WE LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND HAVE TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES FOR MEDICAL AND APPOINTMENTS, WE WANT SOMETHING DONE NOW NOT LATER...WE NEED A SAFE VEHICLE...I HAVE WRITTEN TO OUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN... *TR
