Description of the problem | In january of 2014, chrysler issued a recall for dodge ram trucks. The issue is the tie rod may fracture, which could cause loss of control. The replacement part for this recall is unavailable until august 2014. This is an unreasonable amount of time to operate a vehicle with a possible safety issue. As a work truck which is used to carry and tow heavy loads, i feel it is unsafe to use it with this issue. |
