Model Year	2005

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Noticed leaking rear end fluid accumulating on the under side of bed above the rear axle pinion/drive shaft mounting point. Had to add rear end fluid at that time and have regularly added fluid to the rear end ever since. Vehicle has 178,000 miles as of today (march 12, 2015). Got a recall notice for the p77 (fca number)(14v-796 - nhtsa number) but have not been notified with a remedy. The postcard was sent in the same day it was received, on or about february 19, 2015. I am fearful of driving the vehicle and when i called the dealership (mac haik in temple, texas), i was told nothing was available yet and i would have to bring the vehicle to them if and when parts were made available to do the repair. My complaint is the slowness with which the repair is taking and the fact i have to drive the damn thing to them (30 miles). Please help me.
