| Description of the problem | I was coming out of the hills after a day of hunting and as i made it back to town luckly going slowly i turned the corner and my driver side tie rod end broke. Leaving my truck stranded in a small town about 5 miles from my camp. Took my truck to the local shop the next day cause this happend on a sunday and got it fixed. The mecanic at the local shop told me this was a recalled part. So after returning home from my hunting trip i looked it up and it is a recalled part on many dodge vehicles. Why was i not notified? If this happend at 65 miles an hour my 4 kids probley wouldent have a father today. I have a recite for the work done. Not only do i want my money back and compensation for my time i also would like to be notified of any ohter recalls. This dodge of mine is a pavement pounder. It drives freeways only most of the year and only a couple weeks out of the year driives moutain roads during hunting season to get me to and from my locations to get out and hike behind closed gates. It hauls nothing other than a few animals and a small 19 ft travel trailer during hunting season. |
