Description of the problem	Bought the truck with minor steering issues, does not drive straight, lots of "play" in the wheel, seems to "weave" from side to side. Has continually gotten worse, when taken to a local mechanic they advised me that there was a recall on steering parts for my truck. Contacted the dealer in january 2014, as advised. Was put on a large waiting list and told that they were only being sent one part per week. It is now march 21, 2014. Two months later, still not fixed. I called the dealer today in fact, to check on the progress and was told that chrysler!!!!! Sent them malfunctioning replacement parts and they all had to be sent back. So no one has received a fix for this issue. Mean while, my truck continues to drive worse and i am now having problems with my ball joints. My question is, when my steering linkage snaps causing me to "lose control of the vehicle" (as stated in the recall letter) what are my actions of recourse? Eventually this is going to happen and probably before the vehicle is ever fixed at this rate. I would also like to know, what else is being damaged due to this specific part and the problems it may cause. If i get the replacement part, only to find out that several more items will need to be replaced, someone needs to take care of that. This is my only means of transportation and what i transport my children in. What does chrysler intend to do when i wreck my vehicle with them inside???? There has got to be a quicker/better way to get these repairs done for the public.
