Dodge Ram 3500 Steering Safety Report | Jan 09, 2014
Reported on Jan 09, 2014
| I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (N49) TO REPLACE THE LEFT TIE ROD ON MY TRUCK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER LLC, THERE IS A PART SHORTAGE AND THERE IS ONLY 1 PART, PER DEALER, PER WEEK, THAT IS SUPPLIED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE ARE 20 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE LIST, WHICH MEANS I AM ANTICIPATING A 5 MONTH WAIT AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK DUE TO POTENTIAL FAILURE LEADING TO DAMGE AND PERSONAL INJURY. THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE WAITING PERIOD TO GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE OR BEING FORCED TO DRIVE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES TO FILE A COMPLAINT IF THE REPAIR IS NOT COMPLETED IN A RESONABLE TIME. I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER LLC AT 800-334-9200 AND MADE A COMPLAINT TO THEM AND THEY OFFERED NO OTHER SOLUTIONS: LOANER, REIMBURSEMENT FOR RENTAL, ETC. | |
