Description of the problem | I was driving on albert pike (garland county arkansas) when i lost control of the steering and ran off the road over the sidewalk. I promptly called the dealership ([xxx]) and found out there was a recall notice on the tie rod end. Which i never received. The dealership towed the vehicle in and it was repaired a couple days later. In june of 2014 i was driving down 70 east (garland county arkansas) and started to loose the ability to steer properly because of a massive wobble in the front end. I took the truck into america tire and wheels. They put the truck on the lift and the front wheels were so loose that you could wobble the tire back and forth approx. Three inches. I again took my truck to [xxx] to find out there was a recall on the recall. Once again, we never received any notification. At this time i had new set of tires which had 14000 miles on them and the right front was worn through the wear bars and the left front was severely cupped. I spoke with the dodge customer service and the dealership and they refused to replace or provide any compensation for the tire. They said the front recalls had nothing to do with the tire wear. They. Dodge, had already put my life and the life's of others in jeopardy, by this issue and by not notifying us of the two recalls until after there was an incident. I feel like the manufacturer and the dealer, there direct representative, should be held responsible and are liable for all repairs involved with this recall. I could have been killed or killed someone else. Dodge needs to back the products they are selling to the public. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
