Description of the problem	My complaint regards the unreasonable length of time it is taking chrysler to resolve recall n49. This is a tie rod issue. Pretty important, considering the ball stud could fracture and cause the loss of steering while customers are on the road. As instructed by the notice, i called our local dealer january 6, 2014 to schedule an appointment. I was told to call back the following week. I did so promptly and was told i would be put on a list for repair. I was #130 and parts were expected to be shipped by chrysler just once every two weeks. I called again april 30. I am now #120. I'm told that, even if the parts were coming in at a faster pace, the dealership is not adequately staffed. It appears to me that this safety issue - one that can, and probably will, result in loss of lives -- is not an urgent matter to chrysler. If it were, it would be sending the replacement parts to the dealers in a timely manner and footing the bill to temporarily staff the dealership to get this resolved. *js
