Description of the problem	Re: my 2005 dodge 3500 laramie dually - diesel truck. The tie rod ball stud fractured/tie rod assembly failed on my vehicle when i was backing up out of a parking space and made a tight turn to the left and then as i attempted to straighten my wheels no longer had any steering. If this would have happened 5 minutes later i would have been on a major freeway and crashed at 55-60 mph due to loss of steering. Dodge in bellevue washington is refusing to have chrysler pay the recall repair. They tried to tell chrysler that this was a maintenance issue. I disagree. It is plastered all over the internet that this is a common problem. 2003-2011 dodge ram 2500/3500 vehicles. I do not believe that chrysler has reached out to their customers with recall notices to protect their customer's driving safety. Myself and others i know in the equestrian community have not received recall notices for their vehicles which qualify under the recall years. Someone needs to make chrysler responsible for correcting these problems and not holding individuals accountable for the repair expense. This not only effects individual's driving safety; but horses that could be hauled behind the 2500/3500 models and this failure occurring. I hope that a major fatality effecting humans and animals does not have to happen in order for an immediate correction and accountability of chrysler.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
