Car was brought in 5 times to have various front end recalls performed, two different dealers bedard brothers in cheshire mass. And beterra for steering recall (now N49/NHTSA 13V-529) previously same recall had two or three different numbers. They have never had the parts and could never perform the recall. Because they say that the steering may fail at any moment I have used the vehicle only when I absolutely have no other transportation. Hence as of today the car has 17,200 miles only. The other problem is loss of coolant, the egr cooler has been leaking, I have had it at dealers three times and they have no clue how to repair. This is a common complaint. Because this internal leak goes into the turbocharger. The turbocharger failed and on 7/08/13 had to be replaced at 16,150 miles. That was the symptom of the egr cooler leak, but the cause (leaking egr cooler was not addressed then or on two following trips to the dealers. On to bedard and one to berterra. The Chrysler case number may be 24954056 after dealers worked on car two trouble codes appeared P052 and P0700 I don't want to continue driving a car that the steering will fail at any moment or the engine may blow because of coolant loss.

Chrysler group llc sent us a recall on this truck. Recall number N49, a left tie rod that may fail causing loss of directional control and/or crash without warning. I contacted the local Chrysler co where we purchased the truck on January 9 and we have not been called back to replace the part. We are fearful of driving this truck because of the warning. We haul horses and do not want to have to worry about a crash and have to deal with loss of life, limb, truck, trailer, and horses. We think that Chrysler should replace your truck with one that does not have a recalled part as they have been very slow in replacing the part. It is time. Note mileage is low for a 2009 truck because of that concern. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Ram 2500 6-cyl Diesel

I received a recall notice from Dodge/Chrysler in December notifying me that parts to repair my truck would be available starting January 6, 2014. I called prior to January 1st and was told to call back after January 6th. I called back on February 10th and was placed on a waiting list with an estimated wait of 4 to 6 weeks. I have heard nothing as of today. So I followed up with the dealership again today and was told that they have not received parts from Chrysler yet and I wasn't on the advisors list. I've been added again, but was told that there are over 3,000 trucks in my area waiting to be serviced with no estimate as to when the parts will be available. I was also told previously that Chrysler sent parts to the dealership on a prior recall at the rate of one repair per week. If this is repeated this time it will take up to 3,000 weeks to be serviced. I've already waited over 3 months which seems unreasonable and have no assurance of being taken care of in the foreseeable future. How can we expedite this repair?

Chrysler put out a recall "N49" for my truck I took it to a dealer and they said the parts are defective and need replaced they had to order the parts 3 weeks later and no parts the dealer now says it will probably be another 3 months before they can get the parts I called Chrysler and the only response was that they don't have the ability to produce the parts they cannot tell me what will happen if the parts break and I crash my truck I now have no idea what I should do.
