I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, LITHIA DODGE OF MISSOULA, MT AND GOT ON "THE LIST" OF PERSONS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME RECALL BUT WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR PARTS. I THINK I GOT ON THE LIST IN DECEMBER.

NO REPLY, CALLED SERVICE CENTER SEPT 8 TO BE TOLD THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE TIE ROD ENDS. AFTER LEARNING OF THE RECALL I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND I AM APPROXIMATELY NUMBER 800 ON THE WAITING LIST. THIS RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FORCED TO QUIT DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND GET THE NECESSARY PARTS TO THE LOCAL DEALERS FOR INSTALLATION. IT DOESN'T TAKE THIS LONG FOR THEM TO BUILD THOUSANDS OF COMPLETE VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER CONCERNING RECALL N49 / NHTSA 13V-529 IN DECEMBER 2013 TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AFTER JANUARY 6, 2014. AT FIRST, I WAS TOLD "NO PARTS, TRY AGAIN IN 2 WEEKS", THEN "NO PARTS, COME BACK AT END OF FEBRUARY", THEN "NO PARTS, WE'VE PUT YOU ON THE LIST, YOU'LL GET CALLED WHEN WE KNOW MORE".

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALLS ON MY DODGE PICKUP. I TOOK IT TO MARTIN SWANTY DODGE IN KINGMAN, AZ.. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THE COMPANY HAD NOT INFORMED THEM OF WHAT THEY WERE TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT THERE THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AND CALL ME WHEN THEY CAME IN. IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I FEEL THAT SINCE THE RECALL IS FOR A TIE ROD BALL THAT MAY CRACK, MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY ARE IN DANGER. I WANT THEM TO FIX IT. BUT, I SURE WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO IT SOON. *TR

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL AROUND JAN 2014 STATING THAT THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD ON MY TRUCK MAY FRACTURE. CONTACTED MIRACLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN GALLATIN, TN IN FEB 2014 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH DEMAND AND THAT THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN ON MAY 20, 2014 FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE ORDERED ON THAT DAY TO FIX THE RECALLED LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD. AFTER NO FOLLOW UP FROM THE DEALER, I WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON JULY 10, 2104 AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD 21 OTHER CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF ME WAITING ON THE SAME RECALL. MOREOVER, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WERE ONLY GETTING ENOUGH PARTS IN TO SERVICE ONLY 4 TRUCKS PER MONTH....

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO OUR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR A LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD. UPON EXAMINATION BY OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED OUR VEHICLE WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. WE WERE THEN TOLD THE PART WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH TO COME IN, AND UNTIL THEN, WE WOULD BE DRIVING AT OUR OWN "RISK" AND THE PICKUP COULD CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. BEING A MOTHER OF THREE, WE OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT TAKE THIS CHANCE, AND ARE NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. WE FIND IT REPREHENSIBLE THAT DODGE WOULD LEAVE IT'S CUSTOMERS STRANDED FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, WITHOUT OFFER OF A RENTAL OR ANY OTHER COMPENSATION FOR THIS DANGEROUS INCONVENIENCE. THE NEXT TIME I NEED A VEHICLE, I WILL BE PASSING BY THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. HORRENDOUS LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY BY A COMPANY WHO IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THEIR BOTTOM LINE. *TR

I HAVE CALLED 3 TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL TELLING ME TO HAVE THE SERVICE DONE. CONTACTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND GOT THE SAME RUN AROUND WITH NO PROMISE THAT THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED HADDAD DODGE IN BAKERSFIELD AND AN APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN SET FOR 7-27-14 AT 7:30 AM. SOME ONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE HUNTER DODGE AND FIND OUT WHY I HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET THIS TIE ROD BALL STUD. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE MY FIRST CONTACT AND THEY STILL CAN'T SERVICE THIS RECALL. *TR
