Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Well there was more then one recall. The one specific to my truck is the M63 for the left tie rod end.
I don't know what the other recall is. I know it started with year 2003 or 2005 all the way up to 2014.
1.2 million trucks......
We got our letter back in January. Called the local dealership and he said we had to be put on a waiting list and he would call us.
FOUR months later, and the truck is getting to the point that it's not safe to haul with, I get ****ed and start calling around.
Come to find out that that particular dealership is NOT AUTHORIZED to even look at a 5500 let alone work on it or do a recall fix.
Even Chrysler was ****ed when they found out. They did a three way call for me to listen in while they called that dealership to see what they got told....and the dealership told them the same thing, they would put them on a waiting list and call them when the part was in. Boy it got interesting when Chrysler asked for an appointment and then asked about authorization. The dealership had no idea they were talking to Chrysler.
Anyways.....back to my truck. There is no parts for any of these trucks. Dodge hasn't figured out how to fix the problem yet apparently. But there is a "band-aid" fix for it. Chrysler finally helped me locate a dealership not too far away who is going to look at it Friday. However, the truck is all over the road now, and one tire is completely ruined. Without seeing it yet, Dodge is saying that the recall should not be causing those two issues. However, the "band-aid" fix includes readjusting the ball joints and the alignment.....so how does that NOT affect how the vehicle drives and the tires?
BEYOND frustrated....and FYI....the tires on a 5500 are 19 inches.....so we are looking at 700 dollars to replace the front tires only. |

Lucky you....ours is a 2011 5500.....I don't know if the recall is causing the drifting/jerking issues while driving, or causing the one tire to go bald, but something is definitely wrong with this truck...... |

| We had it done to our 2011 yesterday. We waited several months for the parts to show up. I asked about the safety of driving and hauling a trailer. A couple of different dealers told me the same thing, you are safe when the truck is moving. The tie rod only brakes when the truck is not moving/parked and the front wheels are being turned hard either direction.

Location: Kansas | I rec'd the recall notice. Problem was there weren't any available parts to replace / make the repairs. They were / are back ordered. I was told they had the replacement part ready to go, but found it to be wrong also. Since I needed my truck to haul from Ks. to Tx. and pick up a horse I chose to get the front end kit and replace it myself. I found the kit at another dealer and it was done the next day. My dealer was telling me...you should be okay to drive it, until the parts come in...LOL Not with my trailer and my horse. Can you imagine the wreck that could happen...nope got it fixed myself and will have to argue with Dodge, over the cost later. |

We were told the same thing. However, as I mentioned, my 5500 is all over the road now and a tire is bald. So either the recall has something to do with it, or there is another seperate issue they need to address. Thank goodness hubby bought extra warranty coverage.
Chrysler is like "you only really have to worry when making sharp turns with a heavy trailer".....and I'm like...well......
As soon as you pull in my driveway from town, you have to torque the hell out of the rig and make an immediate 180 degree turn, then back it down to the barn. Yes it sucks, but we make do with what we have. |

| I have had TWO friends who had the tie rod go bad in their trucks. One friend was leaving a rodeo with a trailer, horses and children and the tie-rod broke when pulling out of the drive way of the arena! Thankfully it happened there and not when they were on the highway! Her truck is an early model 2013. The second friend's went bad while on the highway. It was mine-owned work truck and I want to say it was a 2012. He rolled. He was OK, the truck however was not. I know that the gal's who went bad at the rodeo had a problem with her tires wearing uneven. I cannot say it was from the tie-rod or not but I would definitely have it looked at if I were you! |

| My daughters broke last week when she was making a left hand U-turn in the middle of the road! They say that's when they usually will break - when you make a sharp left turn going slow. They had a recall on the recall parts so we can't get them to replace the parts on my truck yet. They repaired my daughters truck with parts that were for people on a waiting list. |

| I have a 06 3500 and I received a recall for the steering box and tie rod ends, but I had everything replaced by a journeyman mechanic 3 months before the recall.
However Chrysler says I still need to take it in and have it checked. |

| I received that recall notice and attempted to get an appointment with my local dealership to have my 2012 3500 repaired. I was told I would be put on a waiting list. 3 months later I received another notice, reminding me that I needed to get the recall done. I again called the dealership and was told about the waiting list. The waiting list was due to the fact that Chrysler was only allowing the dealerships to order one part per week. Really? They then told me the original part they were using to fix the recalled part was now being recalled and all of the trucks that were supposedly fixed have to be repaired once again.
Instead of yelling at the poor girl at the dealership, I called Chrysler. They were not helpful, at all. The girl I talked to told me they were working on the problem and would get the new parts out as soon as they could. I asked the girl what Chrysler was going to do when this part broke on my truck while I was hauling my horses down the road, and she told me they could get me a tow truck. A tow truck? Wow!
Needless to say, I was p**@@ed after these two phone calls, and still have not got my truck repaired. |

| Had the tie rod recalled on my 2012 3500 Dodge. They started the recall in Dec 2013 but couldnt get the parts out till April 14,2014. I know mine needs the repair but they cant fit me in this month due to the high demands in our area. I told them if I wreck my truck with my daughter in it or hauling horses then I will be knocking on the owners front door.  Ive called them every week since December and Ive been a huge B*** about it. |

| How do you go on line to see if should have received a recall or not. Mine is a 2012 1 ton and the front right tire was ruined earlier this year and had to replace it and the left one has major wear on the outside only. Had a friend that bought a brand new one and his was doing the same and he made them repair his.....thinking this was back in the Fall? |

That sounds like bull to me. It will also break if you have to suddenly steer evasively like if there is something in the road, if you lose control for any reason like on a wet road, or like someone else said, making a u-turn in the middle of the street. Not to mention if you are navigating a badly paved road. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I called 1-800-247-9753 and gave them the vin # and he gave me the information. Apparently there was a similar recall in 2009 which I got noticed of and checked and had no problems. He said just to stop by and a tech will take a quick look. If it needs fixing - there will be a delay. He said dealerships can only order a "limited quantity" than I would be put on a waiting list. I have a 2005 3500 4x4 with 45000 miles so it will be interesting if there is any wear and tear when I go in next week. Thanks for this post! |

I looked up recalls on my 2006 3500.. 8 of them and I have NEVER rec'd anything from Dodge to notify me!
This is what happened with our 06 3500 ... the SO moved too many times and they couldn't find him.
However, we preemptively noticed the front end being extremely loose and took it into a dealership. They did the check for us, found the recalls, and helped us fix it through Chrysler/Dodge/Ram parts etc.
To note: we have fixed and changed out the tie rods, ball joints and other front end parts every 20,000 miles on our truck (so twice now). It is used exclusively for hauling trailers with livestock and/or horses. The problem doesn't go away and after the initial first fix all the rest are out of your own pocket. We are seriously looking to get rid of this truck and buy a Chevy or GMC.
ETA- Ours is the 5.9L Cummins 3500 with duals and 110,000 miles.

Our tie rod problems were noticeable with a few things ... The front tires will wear odd, the steering will get loose, at higher speeds the truck may wobble on the road - I'll ask the SO later for more symptoms. |

| Just the Facts:Chrysler is recalling approximately 37,000 2012-'13 Ram trucks for two different problems, the company said on Wednesday.About 30,000 2013 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups are being recalled so that dealers can perform a software upgrade to reactivate the indicator that a turn signal is malfunctioning.In a separate action, Chrysler is recalling about 6,900 2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 pickups to fix a problem that can cause front axle damage.WASHINGTON — Chrysler is recalling approximately 37,000 2012-'13 Ram trucks for two different problems, the company said on Wednesday.About 30,000 2013 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups are being recalled worldwide so that dealers can perform a software upgrade to reactivate the indicator that a turn signal is malfunctioning.In a separate action, Chrysler is recalling about 6,900 2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 pickups to fix a problem that can cause front axle damage.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the 2013 Ram pickup truck recall involves vehicles equipped with optional premium taillights. The trucks were built from September 9, 2012 through March 5, 2013. The recall includes the 2013 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500."In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate to give a notification to the driver of a turn signal malfunction," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash."Chrysler said it is unaware of any accidents, injuries or complaints associated with the taillamp warning light recall. The problem was discovered by Chrysler engineers during routine testing, the company said.Dealers will reprogram the Central Body Controller software in the 2013 Ram. The recall is expected to begin in July.The second recall involves about 6,900 2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. and Canada. Chrysler said following reports that two trucks had sustained front axle damage, Chrysler engineers launched an investigation and discovered that some trucks were subject to a condition that may cause the front prop shaft to bind or fracture, resulting in power loss.Chrysler said it is unaware of any related accidents or injuries in the Ram heavy-duty truck recall.Dealers will replace or repair the front axles. Chrysler has not specified a date for this recall. |

The SO said that he noticed steering issues especially when the roads got wet. For what it's worth - those problems could have been from his (cough,cough) driving abilities. LOL.

| There has been a problem with Dodge 4 wheel drive trucks for more than 10 years, but they would not acknowledge it. Would do a band aid fix if you took it to the dealership, in warranty. I ordered a new 3500 4x4 in 2003 and by 2006 was having what is currently referred to as the Dodge Death shake. You can google it. At first it only did it occasionally when I went over a big dip in the highway or hit unlevel highway surface, it would shake uncontrollably in the front end until you pulled it to the side and got it to a stop. By the time I got rid of it in 2012, it was almost beyond driving over 50 mph. I had spent over $5000 with 3 different shops replacing everything possible underneath it to stabilize it and nothing worked. They thought there was a flaw in the design of the frame. It had less than 90,000 miles on it when I traded it in 10 years old. I bought a new Chevy Silverado 3500 Duramax 4x4 and now I'm enjoying my drive again. I know they cost more, but I don't have the suspension worry. |

At first it only did it occasionally when I went over a big dip in the highway or hit unlevel highway surface, it would shake uncontrollably in the front end until you pulled it to the side and got it to a stop. By the time I got rid of it in 2012, it was almost beyond driving over 50 mph. I had spent over $5000 with 3 different shops replacing everything possible underneath it to stabilize it and nothing worked. They thought there was a flaw in the design of the frame. It had less than 90,000 miles on it when I traded it in 10 years old. I bought a new Chevy Silverado 3500 Duramax 4x4 and now I'm enjoying my drive again. I know they cost more, but I don't have the suspension worry.
Chevys are known to have the death wobble also. |

Location: MT | Ours broke before the recall came into effect and my hubby did the work on it. Luckily I was going fairly slow on a gravel road when it broke. Ours is an '05.

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | NJJ - 2014-05-01 10:02 AM We received a recall for this problem a couple of months ago on our 2006 (3500). We took it to the dealer and, from my understanding, when the trucks were built, there were two different manufactured parts used?.....ours had the "good" one and needed no replacement.
Not every single truck that got a recall notice needed fixed, from my understanding. They recalled all of them because they didn't know which ones needed fixed.....
Shoot, for all we know, ours does not need fixed, not for the tie rod end, but either way there is something really wrong with it. Hopefully we find out tomorrow. It's a fantastic truck so hoping for the best. |
