Description of the problem	My complaint # is 10533970, there's not enough characters for this to be said there. Please review this info, someone has to get these death traps off the road before people start or keep dying. The following complaints alone for 2005 dodge ram 1500 hemi's 4x4! 10525317,10522824,10522467,10515234, 10512746,10508477,10508200,10507139,10503157,10502707,10502402,10499587,10487800,10478873, 10446068, 10248039, 10446048, 10479516, 10129030. There's another 20 on 04 ram models,18 on 05 rams, dakotas & durangos, 06 models same way. Its all on here. The canadian highway dept has a 2007 on lock down and awaiting a full investigation after pinion nut came loose and catapulted the ram on its roof at 60 mph! Its on facebook, and many on line forums state the same issues with pinion nuts coming loose. Dodge talk, the straight dope, just google it. I am requesting a better investigation be performed into the rear end/pinion nut recalls with dodge ram, dakota, durango and chrysler aspen vans from 2002-current date. After my investigation i found the following recalls on this site associated with the rear end/ pinion nut coming loose. Here's the info, recalls #95599, 79940, 793042, 93043, 95601,and lastly 95600 2/6/13. According to this site, almost 1 million vehicles on the recall list , just 2009-12. The recall 95600 states the 2009-2011 dodge dakotas manufactured feb 27, 2007 ect. I have a hard time believing 2009 dakotas were being manufactured n feb of 2007, which means the 2007 and 2008 models were being built then, but they are not in the recall, why not? Also according to the chrysler's own admissions (viewable on this site) at your request to provide all info according to your investigation, (quote) that these same parts are "backwards" in earlier model years(meaning they have been using these same parts for years prior) and based on info i have found seems to be since 2002.
