NHTSA Complaint #10584652 — 2011 DODGE RAM 2500

RECALL WAS SENT DECEMBER TO START EFFECTIVE JANUARY THE 6TH AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX PROBLEM. PROBLEM:(THE LEFT TIE ROD STUD ON YOUR TRUCK MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.) TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AT GULFGATE DODGE IN HOUSTON. THE TECHNICIAN IS SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF GARY. WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK TO SEE WHY THEY HAD NOT CALLED ME IN TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN PART CAME IN. I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. MAY IS AROUND THE CORNER THIS IS NOT GOOD. PEOPLE DIE FROM RECALLS EVERYDAY I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST, BUT I HAVE INFORMED MY FAMILY OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP SPEED UP PROCESS ANY WAY YOU CAN. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AND PULL MY HORSES WITHOUT FEAR OF DYING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT, AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP. UPDATED 05/05/14
