| Description of the problem | I had received a recall letter from chrysler (n49 / nhtsa 13v-529) back in january and i had contacted my dealership (carl burger's dodge in la mesa, ca 91942) shortly after receiving the letter. I was told that my name was added to a list and that they would contact me after the parts had arrived to replace the left tie rod ball stud on my truck. In may, i sent the dealership an email requesting an approximation for the recall work to be performed. I outlined an upcoming trip that i needed to drive my truck on and i never got a response. I called the dealership in june and was told that my name was still on the list but that i am number 147 and that chrysler was only shipping them (1) tie rod per week. I have an out of state trip planned for the end of august and i have serious concerns due to some clunking that i am feeling in the steering wheel that this tie rod could possibly fail. Last week i received the same recall letter from chrysler. I am not sure what more i can do? Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
