| Description of the problem | This truck had a p 77 recall done and suposedly was fixed in april 2016 and in sept 2018 i start hearing a noise in the rearend and found out these trucks have rearend issues so took it to findlay dodge in wilsonville oregon . They claimed problem nothing to do with recall fix , so i took the truck to another place to have fixed , which they then found out, that the pinion set was way too tight causing the bearing failure and metal in case. I paid to have rearend rebuilt. I feel this problem should havebeen fixed by the dealership/manufacturer and happened because the orgina recall and the fix was done wrong (too tight) causing the bearing failure. I have proof of findlay dodge paper work claims and of the place that actually fixed my truck with repair cost parts etc. Truck only has 57k miles. |
