“Dodge has refused to replaced the critical part as indicated in the recall. I was notified by Dodge early in 2014 about the recall. Dealer said that replacement would be made in may 2014. When contacted in may dealer said the replacement would not be made until september 2014. Truck has a serious pull to the right side and shows extreme wear on the right front tire. Given the safety aspects of this recall I would like the replacement as soon as possible without the continual delays by Dodge.”

“While driving highway speed, when crossing on an overpass, the steering wheel start violently shaking back and forth. It got so bad I had to immediate brake hard and exit the freeway. It did not stop shaking until I was nearly stopped. This truck is used for my business and normally has a gooseneck trailer with a control room and heavy umbilical cables mounted on it. If this had happened with a trailer attached, I know I would have crashed. Had this happened with snow or ice on the road, I am certain I would have lost control, spun out and most likely flipped this vehicle. …”
