 Description of the problemIn 2008, i purchased the above described 2006 vehicle brand new through the dodge dealer with 400 miles on the odometer. At 49,085 miles, 09/18/2012, i've had to replace the lf wheel hub bearings at my personal expense. This mechanical work was completed through the dodge dealer. The dodge dealer warranty the work for 1 year. 1. 5 years later, i've encountered the exact same mechanical failure and the vehicle is in the dodge dealer service shop again, as of today's date of 06/27/2014, now for the third (3rd) set of wheel hub bearings. Due to the frequency of this type of mechanical failure, i looked on the internet discovering a recall for 2006 dodge ram wheel hub bearing assembly. Dodge dealer states there is no open recall for this type of described recall and will not repair the vehicle under recall provisions. Confused, i phoned chrysler at 1. 800. 247. 9753. A chrysler representative stated, according to my vin, my 2006 vehicle build date is october of 2005 and the recall is for vehicles built november 2005 and up. Clearly there is a matter of build date semantics of october 2005 -vs- november 2005, but, the facts clearly show i have inferior, unsatifactory wheel-hub bearing parts installed on my 2006 vehicle. My biggest fear is the horrible scenario of complete mechanical failure happening without warning (possible wheel separation) while my family is in the vehicle and the possibility of a crash occurring. Simply put..... Dodge manufacturers and dealers, please do the morally right thing and place superior parts on your vehicles and honor your work, parts and recalls & quit using semantics and splitting hairs in recall language. Lives are depending on you!!!!!! This is all i respectfully ask of you. Thank you.
