| Description of the problem | The rear axle broke on this truck and i made the report on your website back in 2004 and i also contacted chrysler and they sent someone to check the truck and these guy said to me and my mother that we were lucky to be alive. I kept calling chrysler requesting a copy of the report made by this person and they have ignored me till now. This is the reason why i reported the accident to your office because the "accident report" is very clear what broke in this truck. If you look at my original complaint you will read about the loud noise coming from the drivers side an hour prior to the accident. I have been in contact with chrysler asking over and over for a copy of the report and they keep denying it, and this is what i need your office to help me obtain from them. You will see that this problem existed prior the recall on the 2005 trucks. Whenever chrysler writes to me they write about "air bags" completely ignoring the request so to me is very clear they are hiding something. I know the truck was fixed and sold to someone named "pedro osaga". My insurance paid off the truck to the rental company and my mother and i incurred lots of injuries from this accident and it makes me sick that this manufacture continues to hide the truth from me. Please i'm asking again to help me obtain the report made about this truck regarding the cause of the accident from chrysler. Sorry i can't upload the accident report, but if you need it i will send you a copy or maybe by then i'll be able to send it via email. |
