THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR TIE ROD END MALFUNCTION, NOTIFICATION N49. THE LEFT TIE ROD END CAN SIMPLE BREAK IN HALF WITHOUT WARNING, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED 2 DEALERSHIPS FOR SERVICE ON THIS RECALL; ADDYS DODGE IN MYRTLE BEACH ON DECEMBER 27 2013, AND BURGLUND DODGE ROANOKE VA MARCH 10 2014. I HAVE BEEN PUT ON WAITING LISTS WAITING FOR THE PARTS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS,. NOTE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR NEARLY 3 MONTHS SINCE I 1ST CONTACTED ADDY DODGE. ADDY DODGE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A VERY LONG WAIT, THAT THERE ARE ONLY 1 OR 2 SETS OF PARTS AVAILABLE EACH WEEK. NOTE THAT I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, THE TIE ROD END HAS NOT BROKEN. AND THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE DEALERSHIPS, THE COMPLAINT IS AGAINST DODGE FOR NOT HAVING THE PARTS AVAILABLE. I, AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE, AM CURRENTLY DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE DEFECT BECAUSE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL. WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL IF THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL? *TR

IN JANUARY OF 2014, CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR DODGE RAM TRUCKS. THE ISSUE IS THE TIE ROD MAY FRACTURE, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS RECALL IS UNAVAILABLE UNTIL AUGUST 2014. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. AS A WORK TRUCK WHICH IS USED TO CARRY AND TOW HEAVY LOADS, I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO USE IT WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK IN 2010. I RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT" SAFETY RECALL ON JAN. 10, 2014 #N49/NHTSA 13V-529 FOR MY VEHICLE VIN [XXX]. IT STATES THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD MAY FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I PHONED FOWLER AUTO DODGE TRUCKS IN LAKEPORT, CA 707-263-0500 ON JAN. 20, 2014 TO ORDER THE PARTS AND/OR MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. JOHN ADVISED ME IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME BUT HE WILL CALL WHEN IT GETS IN. TODAY IS FEBRUARY 26 AND NOTHING HAS COME IN. ACCORDING TO JOHN, THE PARTS ARE BEING RELEASED SLOWLY AS THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH. HE STATED THEY ARE PROBABLY 2-4 MONTHS OUT UNTIL THEY GET THEM. I ASKED FOR CHRYSLER HEAD OFFICE NUMBER 1-800-992-1977 A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM CUSTOMERS THIS PAST WEEK. ADVISED ME THEY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO DEALERS IN "ABOUT" TWO WEEKS. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS IN MY FAMILY WHEN I RECEIVE AN "IMPORTANT" SAFETY RECALL LIKE THIS. WHY DO A RECALL IF PARTS CAN'T BE SUPPLIED TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE YOU SEND OUT THE NOTICES? CAN YOU HELP ME? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

UPON PURCHASING THIS USED PICKUP I PERFORMED AN INSPECTION OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE I NOTICED THAT THE OIL PAN HAD A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DENT IN IT. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED BY A SKID PLATE THAT WAS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT AXLE OF THIS TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OWNER OF THIS MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ONE PERSON WAS SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING A DEALERSHIP TO REMOVE THE SKID PLATE AND REPLACE THE OIL PAN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE SKID PLATE WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE PUT ON THE GASOLINE MODELS NOT THE DIESEL MODELS. THIS IS DUE TO NOT HAVING ENOUGH CLEARANCE. THIS CAN CAUSE A HOLE IN THE OIL PAN WHICH CAN EASILY LEAD TO AN EXPENSIVE BUT NEEDLESS ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON A TRUCK THAT COST $50000, DODGE SHOULD PERFORM THESE REPAIRS AND SKID PLATE REMOVAL FOR THESE MODELS FOR NO COST. *TR

THEY STATED THAT "THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT REQUIRED THE RECALL REPAIR BUT IT WOULD BE QUITE A WAYS OUT, BECAUSE "THEY WOULD ONLY ALLOW US TO ORDER ONE PART PER WEEK". IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHO AND WHY CAN THIS DEALER ONLY ORDER ONE PART PER WEEK? THIS AREA HAS MANY, MANY RAM TRUCKS OF ALL SIZES IN THE MODEL YEAR THAT MEETS THE RECALL. *TR

ON MY WAY TO YORK, PA A SECOND "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRED. THIS TIME ON I 83. SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH. I DROVE OVER A COUPLE OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS WELL AS THE TRUCK BOUNCING ALL OVER THE ROAD LIKE A JUMPING JACK. AN 18 WHEELER WAS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME AS A RESULT. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING TO GET IT TO STOP AND WAS FORCED INTO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS THE TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME TODAY AND THE FOURTH TIME IN ONE WEEK! THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING OCCURRING TO THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE BALTIME BELTWAY (695) AFTER DRIVING OVER A COUPLE OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING AND BOUNCING ALL OVER THE ROAD LIKE A JUMPING JACK. OTHER CARS THAT WERE AROUND ME AT THE TIME WERE GETTING OUT OF MY PROXIMITY AS I WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. I ACTUALLY ENDED UP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER. THIS HIGHWAY IS 55 MPH AND USUALLY CONGESTED. *TR

TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD IN A RURAL AREA, SPEED LIMIT 55MPH. DROVE OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT WAS OVER A SMALL CREEK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY STARTED TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND STARTED TO FORCE ME OFF THE ROAD TOWARD A WOODED AREA.LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" TO SUBSIDE ENOUGH FOR ME TO REGAIN CONTROL. I WAS ON MY WAY TO PERFORM A CHORE AND HAD TO RETURN FROM THIS CHORE ON THE SAME ROAD. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE RETURN TRIP. VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE AND TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE ROAD SURFACE WAS POORLY MAINTAINED AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRED WHEN I DROVE OVER AN IMPERFECTION ON THE ROAD SURFACE. LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEXT TO ME OR AN ACCIDENT SURELY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. THIS FIRST EVENT I THOUGHT WAS JUST BY CHANCE, BUT AFTER THE LAST EVENT HAPPENING TWICE ON THE SAME DAY HAS ME CONVINCED THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE STEERING AND/OR SUSPENSION. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AFTER DOING A WEB SEARCH ON PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE (MANY COMPLAINTS POSTED DETAILING EXACTLY WHAT HAD OCCURRED WITH ME) AND TOLD THE SERVICE REP WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND SHE SAID SHE HAD HEARD NO SUCH COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS. THE ROADS IN MY COUNTY ARE VERY RURAL AND WELL MAINTAINED. NO PROBLEMS ON WELL MAINT

I WAS DRIVING IN MY TRUCK WITH MY FRIEND ON SR 101. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 60 MPH. WE WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD OVER A CONCRETE BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT WHERE THE PAVEMENT CHANGED LEVELS. THE TRUCK JUMPED AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING AND FORCED ME INTO PASSENGER SIDE GUARD RAIL OF THE BRIDGE. THE VIBRATING CONTINUED UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH. THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT WAS FIXED WITH NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, A.K.A. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WITH SKEPTICISM. HE KNEW OF NO RECALLS AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE ESCAPED INJURY TO THIS POINT. THIS IS MY 1ST POSTING. PLEASE HELP. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

FROM STATEMENT OF OPERATOR "WHILE PERFORMING ROAD MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES I WAS DRIVING UP A GRADE AT LOW SPEED WHILE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND IN LOW GEAR. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS A SUDDEN BURST OF SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD ACCOMPANIED BY THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIPPED THE HOOD RELEASE, WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE HOOD. THE SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT PREVENTED ME FROM SAFELY LOCATING THE HOOD RELEASE. I THEN RETRIEVED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED IT THE BEST I COULD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER EMPLOYEE RETRIEVED AN ADDITIONAL 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FROM ANOTHER FOREST SERVICE TRUCK AND APPLIED THEIR CONTENTS IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THE APPLICATION WAS INSUFFICIENT TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. OVER THE SUBSEQUENT HALF HOUR TO 45 MINUTES THE VEHICLE BECAME FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. THE SECOND OPERATOR SAID WHEN HE SEEN THE SMOKE HE RAN UP TO THE FRONT SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE FLAMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND AT THAT TIME THEY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE USING 3 5ABC FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. AFTER DEPLETING THE EXTINGUISHERS THEY MOVED BACK AND UNHOOKED THE ROCK RAKE THEY WERE PULLING AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE RESPONSE TO ARRIVE AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED. *TR

POPPING NOISE WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDDLE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF ROAD THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY WAY TO WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIE ROD WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TIE ROD WAS REPLACED.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT RECALL IIV350000. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED TIE ROD END UNBEKNOWNST TO ME ABOUT RECALL IN 2012. THE TIE ROD BROKE IN APRIL 2013. CHRYSLER STATED THEY FULFILLED THE RECALL REQUIREMENT WITH THE INSPECTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE INSPECTION. THIS SEEMS HARDLY ACCEPTABLE AS A FAILURE CAN RESULT AFTER A VISUAL INSPECTION, UNLESS SOME TYPE OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING WAS COMPLETE. CHRYSLER CHARGED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL OUT FOR THIS LEFT TIE ROD END. I HAD IT REPLACED BY DODGE ON MARCH 30, 2012. LAST WEEK I HAD THE NEW REPLACED LEFT TIE ROD END, BREAK ON ME. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE STREET OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 2500 EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LTXA/F TIRES, SIZE: 265/70/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE FROM THE PARK POSITION AT IDLE THE TRUCK WILL PULL THROUGH THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN EXCESS OF 24 TIMES BETWEEN 7500 MILES AND 24000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO IMPROVEMANT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO INDICATORS BEFORE IT HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE TRANSMISSION VALVE CAUSING THE T/C TO BE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY TRUCK WITH MY WIFE ON SR 25 IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I WAS HAULING MY 13 FT DETRO TRAILER. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 55 MPH. WE WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD WHERE THE PAVEMENT CHANGED LEVELS. THE TRUCK JUMPED AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING. THE VIBRATING CONTINUED UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH. THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT WAS FIXED A.K.A. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WITH SKEPTICISM. THE DEALER OWNER STATED THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE WAS DOUBTFUL THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. THE OWNER CALLED HIS DISTRICT MANAGER WHO STATED HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM (BUT THE OWNER SAID HE HAS). THE OWNER SUGGESTED I BEGIN VIDEO TAPING WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN VIDEO TAPING EACH TIME I ENTER THE INTERSTATE SO I CAN "CATCH" THE DEATH WOBBLE ON VIDEO. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE ESCAPED ACCIDENT TO THIS POINT BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ANY VEHICLES AROUND ME AT THE TIME THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED. THIS IS MY 3RD POSTING. PLEASE HELP. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY NORMAL ROUTE HOME ON I-65. JUST BEFORE MY EXIT, THERE IS AN OVERPASS ON I-65 YOU MUST GO OVER. THE EXPANSION JOINT IS DIAGONAL TO THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE GONE OVER THIS JOINT THOUSANDS OF TIMES BEFORE,IN MY OTHER VEHICLE. DRIVING MY NEW TRUCK, I WENT OVER THE JOINT AND THE TRUCK JUMPED TO THE RIGHT. IT SCARED ME BUT I ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING THE NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SON IN THE VEHICLE GETTING ON I-65 GOING SB. I CROSSED OVER AN EXPANSION AND THE TRUCK STARTING VIOLENTLY JUMPING AND VIBRATING. IT THREW ME FAR ENOUGH THAT I WAS ALMOST IN THE GRASS. ONCE I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE TRUCK SLID COMPLETELY INTO THE GRASS. THE VIBRATING CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED (APPROX 10 MPH). I NEW IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE INVOICE READS "CUSTOMER THE FRONT END WOBBLES BAD FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 10 MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP". "REPLACED FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS AND HOSES. ADD FLUID". I DID NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS THE PROBLEM SO I BEGAN RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. TURNS OUT MANY OTHER DODGE TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS BEEN GIVEN THE NAME "THE DEATH WOBBLE". IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE ALL AFTER MARKET PARTS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK HOPING THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. I HAVE DRIVEN THE SAME ROUTE MANY TIMES WITHOUT ISSUE AND I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. *TR
