Location: Roping pen | Yes, in regards to the steering tie rod issue. Not a big deal.
Or the "buy back/trade in" which I have no idea of.

| Ours is a buy back but they realeased it way after we have done so much work to it that its not even worth the $$ to turn it back in.
Our tie rod broke before that recall was released as well.
Worst truck we ever had before we completely overhauled it. |

Location: TEXAS | My husband did the recall for the tie rod. When he called to make the appointment, they said they had to order the part first, which took a month or two. Once they got the part in, he took his truck in and got it back the same day. I think each dealership handles it differently. |

Location: LA | We did the tie rod recall. No big deal. I asked about the buy back. They are only willing to buy it back for the trade in value and "supposedly" get you in a new truck for the "about" the same note. HA HA! My truck will be paid for in about a year and unless they plan on buying mine back, getting me into the EXACT same truck for the EXACT same note that will be paid for in a year........... Yeah, well that's not going to happen.LOL My only concern is when we do decide to trade it, which won't be anytime soon, will this cause problems?? |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I'm farm truck shopping, and the price on the dodges is way better than the others...but I have noticed that most of the 2013 and 2014 models for sale have an open recall for some kind of bar on the front end (traction bar? Something about suspension). What is that about? How are the dealers selling them as certified with an open recall? And supposedly the death wobble was fixed with the 2013s, but I'm hearing that's not the case? I experienced that with a 1996 we had and wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. |

Hmmm we have a 2014. Had 3 recalls. All were fixed in one visit, no issues. Bought it in April with 700 miles off the lot. Currently has 8,000 so we average 1,000 miles a month all hauling. I will have to look at the paperwork to see exactly what they were for. Anyways we are happy with what we have! Hauls smooth. Our only complaint would have been the exhaust break, it wasn't hitting like our previous Ram, but when we brought it in for the recalls there was a system update they did that fixed the issue. |

Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon! | Mine is the 2009 Hemi. I bought it in July, right before the recall information came out. I was just curious if anyone had dealt with it yet and what it went like. I had an Expedition that I used as my daily driver and had only put 300 miles on the Dodge, so I sold the Expedition last month and started driving the Dodge.
As a side note - My ex and I have/had an 04 with a terrible death wobble. My understanding is that he got it fixed. |

That's the one I'm asking about. I guess I could have been more specific :)
