I received a recall notice back in January 2014 and it stated to contact the dealer to have the recall maintenance done. I have called and tried for 5 months to get an appointment to have my Ram looked at, to no avail. I keep being told that they are waiting for parts. If Chrysler initiated this recall why don't they have the parts to fix it. My neighbor has a Ram also and he is in the same position. What can I do to get my Ram repaired? the recall # is N49/NHTSA 13V-529.

I received recall notice N49/nhtsa13V-529 and took my vehicle to a local Dodge dealership in January 2014. I was placed on a waiting list for parts to be ordered. I called the dealership in March 2014 and was told the parts were on back order. It is now June and I am being told the part is still on back order. I do not feel comfortable operating my vehicle on the freeway knowing there is a discrepancy with my steering. I also do not think a 6 month wait to repair a safety recall is timely or acceptable. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

Received a safety recall notice from Chrysler in early January 2014 for left tie rod replacement on 2008 Dodge 2500 pickup truck. I have attempted to schedule repairs to replace left tie rod ball stud on numerous locations with local Chrysler/Dodge dealer and have been told they have not been getting parts from manufacturer. First review and attempt to schedule was on January 14th. Placed on wait list. Have followed up in both late February and late March to schedule, and still told no parts available to repair under recall notice. Dealer informed me they will contact when they can schedule. Today is May 27th, 2014- no call back to schedule yet.

I have a recall that still to this day has not been taken care of, and was sent out in Nov. 2013. The dealership says that the parts have been back log, and now I have had to pay for a frontend alignment. This truck has had right tie rod and other front end work done ever since I have owned it. I'm so upset over all, and in hopes that ntmv safety can do something about this. As ntmv Safety Act says that this could cause a loss of directional control and / or crash without warning. And to pay thousands of dollars for a truck that I paid hard earn dollars for, and could endanger someone else or myself. I don't feel it is safe to drive, because of all these recalls I have been sent. Yet, I have invested $$$$$$ in this truck and I need it to be safe. What can I do" can you help" please!

I own a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with the faulty tie rod ends (recall L16 according to Chrysler) which I found out on my own not from Chrysler. I've attempted to get the problem resolved several times from several different Dodge dealers however none of them have the parts to fix my truck. I was told they have no idea when anything will be available and hope for the best that it doesn't break. The problem is getting worse the longer this drags out and is to the point of I am scared to drive the truck.
