| Description of the problem | Chrysler group llc sent us a recall on this truck. Recall number n49, a left tie rod that may fail causing loss of directional control and/or crash without warning. I contacted the local chrysler co where we purchased the truck on january 9 and we have not been called back to replace the part. We are fearful of driving this truck because of the warning. We haul horses and do not want to have to worry about a crash and have to deal with loss of life, limb, truck, trailer, and horses. We think that chrysler should replace your truck with one that does not have a recalled part as they have been very slow in replacing the part. It is time. Note mileage is low for a 2009 truck because of that concern. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
