Description of the problem	I have reported this issue several times now, i took my vehicle to dealership for replacement of pinion nut on driveshaft to prevent the driveshaft from seperating from the rear end of the truck. My vehicle continues to lock up, rear wheels will lock up when vehicle in put in reverse or in drive, this issue is related to the driveshaft pinion (seperation) and could cause a catastrophic collision endangering my family and any other vehichle in close vicinity of mine while driving. I am afraid to drive my truck due to this issue, i have also considered what will happen when my truck is catapulted from this issue, hoping that my family will be able to file a class action lawsuit against chrysler/dodge for ignoring mine complaints and refusing to fix the problem, once i am killed in an accident from this recall issue. I am very upset that i am not getting any help from dodge for this issue. I know i'm just the little one who bought your product, and care none about me and my family, however, you can and will be sued if i am in an accident due to this recall issue, (my rear axle locking up therefore locking up my rear wheels). Everytime i try to move my vehicle, i hear a loud "boom" in the rear of the vehicle and my rear wheels lock up and vehicle won't move. I will hear a loud "boom" in the rear end of the truck while driving. I am very afraid to drive the truck due to this recall issue, and due to the fact that my wheels continously seize up. This has happened at least 20 times in the past month, thank god i have not yet been catapulted, i fear though that it will happen very soon.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
