Report receipt date: Nov 06, 2013 NHTSA campaign number: 13V529000 component(s): Steering I received the "N49" recall from Chrysler in December 2013. The truck was taken to the dealer immediately, but I was told the parts were on order and I would receive a call when the parts came in. I never received a call. I've been to the dealer multiple times and called multiple times and been told I was still 5th on the waitlist. I finally contacted Chrysler customer service last week and they called the dealer and they just lied and said I wasn't even in their system. Funny how I had just confirmed I was on the list a day before. Then Chrysler closed my complaint. This has been 6 months and I still have a possible safety issue that could cause a fatal crash on a $62K truck! it does not appear Chrysler is too worried about this safety recall or my dealer but I'm expected to keep towing my camper and family around with this vehicle like this and their life in danger...for how long Chrysler, how you gonna feel when the tie rod brakes towing a 10,000 lb trailer down the interstate at 75 mph and everyone dies. Somebody needs to do something about this.

I received the "N49" recall from Chrysler in December 2013. The truck was taken to the dealer immediately, but I was told the parts were on order and I would receive an email when the parts came in. The only email I have ever got was stating the parts were ordered. I have been calling the dealer was a month to check on the parts status. This has been 6 months and I still have a possible safety issue on a $45K truck! it does not appear Chrysler is too worried about this safety recall.

I received a safety recall notice for my truck on the left tie rod ball stud that could fracture under certain driving conditions. I received this notice the end of December 2013. It is now April 29th 2014. I do not believe that this falls under the reasonable amount of time as stated on the re-call letter to have the repairs completed by the dealer. I have taken my notice and reported this to the dealer and they said they would notify me when they get the parts. No response yet and I have called them several times. I also filed a report by phone on March 6th and have received nothing from them by mail as they said they would do.
