I keep receiving an "important recall notice" for the left tie rod from chrysler but they will not make enough parts to get it fixed. There last line on the notice is " we're sorry for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety". If they really cared about my safety they would make a lot more parts to fix my truck and the other 100 or so that are waiting in northwest montana. *tr
