| Description of the problem | About 11 months ago i received a recall notice from chrysler for my 2008 dodge ram 2500 pick up truck, it was for a suspension problem with the tie rods, recall #n49/nhtsa 13v-529 i called my local dodge dealer where i bought the truck and they said they could not get the parts, i called several months later and they told me the replacement parts had been "recalled". I have contacted them numerous times still no parts. I have called chrysler several times and get the same run around, no parts available. This is a real safety issue as the failure of the parts could cause me to crash. I would think chrysler would be nervous as the liability issue could be very expensive. What if they fail and someone is killed, is this my fault would i be liable? This has been going on for almost a year and still not resolved. |
