I just heard about Chrysler recalling 243,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 4X4 models and 3500 chasis cab 4X2 models, any truth to it?

 

Ill look tomorrow

 

Just seened it on the news..2008 thru 2011 model years.I didn't see what the part was except its a steering component.Model is 1500-2500-3500 approx 250,000 trucks.
don't know if 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive..

 

Another recall then another and another and another. These trucks are crap. I have three dodge vehicles,this is the worst one WTF. Look at the list of stuff going wrong bad with these trucks paint,rust,mds shudder,water in mirrors,bad rims,bad bumpers,key fob,water leaks ect...... They need to recall there employees. I'm trying to be loyal but one can only take so much. I know all companies have problems but this is way to much. I'm not having all theses problems but at the rate things are going I bet ill have most. Who else is tired or this crap from dodge?

I work for a Chrysler dealership, we heard about it in the news yesterday but no recall procedure has been released just yet.

 

recall their employees??

Did the Employees make the bumpers rust? Is it their fault that the paint going on the trucks is ****? or that the mirror assembly, which they dont put together, btw, leaks???? Everything that you mention is a supplier problem, not an employee problem...

 

moosefire66...he's venting, give him a brake, he he! He's right about one thing, it doesn't look good. And we have yet to hear about the rearend recalls yet...wonder when those are coming, lol!

 

You are here on this forum, yet the stealerships tell us that they've never heard of the problems that you bring to them, lol!

 

I agree - my 4th dodge truck and this appears to be the worst.

Only 16,000 miles on mine and I have pulsating brakes. Haven't had the host of other problems posted here so time/miles will tell.
Logged into the owner website and no recall listed for my '09 CC 1500
