Description of the problem	Recall p77 my main problem with this is that if the pinion has become loose the gears are not lined up correctly anymore and causes extreme wear on the differential unit and will cause it to lock up. I called the manufacturer regarding this yesterday and they told me to talk to the service manager at my dealership. Today i went in to speak with him. I requested that he check the torque on my pinion nut "i have nobody here that is available to do that today" he stated. I then asked him when he would have somebody in to check it, "maybe tuesday or thursday when did you want it checked". "today" i stated. Following that he took down my vin number went over to the computer came back and told me that there is no remedy for the problem right now and to contact the manufacturer. Which i then advised him that i spoke with them yesterday and they told me to talk to my service manager. He stated that there is nothing he can do to my vehicle without chrysler providing the proper remedy. If chrysler does find that the nut is loose are they planning on replacing the ring and pinion since when this item is not properly installed it wears unevenly and can lock up. Chrysler also stated that they cannot verify if i will be reimbursed if i take this to a 3rd party repair shop to have this properly corrected, since the only people that seem to be able to correct this issue is a 3rd party repair shop. I am left with a choice of paying out of pocket for the repair to be assured that i am driving a safe vehicle with no guarantee that i will be compensated for my expenses, waiting for the parts to available and drive a vehicle that may or may not lock up the rear wheels without notice, or having a repair that may not meet your standards since i have not found out what the remedy is if the torque rating is under the specified 200lbs. That is my concern.
