Model Year	2004
File date	20/02/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Nhtsa action number: pe14019 recall p77 driving on the interstate when decelerating the rear end of truck violently started shaking. Under a constant speed shaking stopped. Took an exit to a county road where the truck shook violently again and the drive shaft came off the truck at about 45mph. Towed truck to mechanic who said the pinion nut came loose allowing the gear to fall into rear differential which caused drive shaft to fall off and shatter the transfer casing. Had this happened at interstate speed the drive shaft flying into a vehicle behind me could have been deadly. The is already a recall for the 2005 model referenced above. Called chrysler, who said that my truck is not affected by this recall, even though the exact same problem occurred? I believe this recall affects more than just 2005 model rams and needs to be readdressed to multiple years.
