| Description of the problem | My truck started shaking aggressively 3-4 year ago at speeds around 50 mph and over , i tried new tires and that did not work. After receiving my second recall i took my truck to bill stanford dodge-chrysler here in talladega al to have it fixed with the recall. They admitted the pinion nut was loose and they said they tightened it and that i needed new tires on the rear and that should fix it , the tire dealer said i did not need new rear tires that i should have several years left on them but i told him what bill stanford said so he put new tires on the back but that had no affect on the vibrating and shaking of the truck. Now i receive another recall stating " the lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle , going on to state this could cause a crash without warning or the real axle to seize and separate the drive shaft causing a loss of motive power. I have a good truck except for the rear end which shakes and vibrates aggressively but i can get no help from the local dealer here in talladega al. All i am asking is that they fix it to its original state and live up to the safety recall. I can not afford a new vehicle and do not want to sue or seek punitive damages , i would just like my truck to be fixed in an honest fashion. Thank you for any help . |
