Ram 2500 6-cyl

I received an important safety recall N49/NHTSA 13V-529 back in Dec time frame, I immediately contacted crown Dodge in fayetteville, nc. They told me that they are aware of the situation and are waiting on parts to arrive and to call back in two weeks. I call back two weeks later (mid Jan) they explain that they have not received any parts and was told to bring in my truck so they can order parts assigned to my VIN number which I did. After waiting several weeks I called crown Dodge on 4 March 2014 and spoke with frank in the service dept. He explains to me that the parts were ordered last week. I don't understand how it has taken crown Dodge over 2 months to order parts for this recall. [xxx] was unable to give a good explanation why it has taken so long to order parts. I explained to him that my truck has a severe death wobble problem and it is very hazardous to drive and I needed this issue fixed as soon as possible. I don't even let my wife drive the truck because I am afraid for her safety because of this issue. [xxx] could not tell me when the parts he supposedly ordered would come in. I am tired of waiting and hope you could shed some light on this problem I am having with crown Dodge of fayetteville. Thank you helping me in this matter.. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I received a safety recall notice N49/NHTSA 13V-529 for above truck in 12/13. I took truck to napleton Dodge lake park, fl. Tel. # 561-622-0101 and was told the parts had to be ordered. Since then I had numerous contacts with the dealer's parts department. The parts clerks told me Chrysler is limiting the number of repair parts needed to clear the recall. They first said the dealer could only order 2 a week. On 2/19/14 the parts clerk said Chrysler has reduced the number to one every seven day, and that I was 50th on the list and they couldn't even order my parts for 350 days. They were sorry but there was nothing they could do since Chrysler was limiting the ordering. The dealer has been polite but they blame the problem on Chrysler not having the parts. I am concerned since I do not want to drive for a year with unsafe suspension especially since I frequently tow heavy loads.
