Description of the problem	On 3/17/2014 safety recall nhtsa 13v-038 was completed on the vehicle by a chrysler authorized service center. Week of 6/29/14 (on 2 separate road trips) the rear axle seized while vehicle was under motion. On 7/1/2014 vehicle was returned to same service center without further incident. The incident info & safety concerns were relayed to service rep. That afternoon was called by service rep & told (paraphrasing) "it's not doing it now. Come get it. Bring it back if it happens again." i refuse to pick up vehicle. It remains at service center as they keep trying to get it to do "it". 7/3/2014 i contact chrysler 800-247-9753 (case #25262149) expressed alarm to "agent" that "recall" did not correct failure or its potential. Agent contacted service provider. Agent returned to me w/response echoing & supportive of service provider. "it's not doing it now. Is there anything else i can do for you?" in frustration i said, "i am speechless... Clearly you are at the end of your 'script'..." (i was wrong) the chrysler agent responded "i am not at the end of my script! I can still offer you monetary or tangible compensation!" i said, "for what? You said there is no problem." (end of conversation) how can such a thing be measured? Even more than having my vehicle restored to my confidence and possession, i would especially like to know that the threat of bodily injury or loss of life to anyone (resulting from the dodge ram differential pinion nut (or not) failure) truly does not exist. Direct experience says it does. I am confident in the integrity of my service center. I do understand that they cannot fix what does not appear to be broken & what the manufacturer denies or doesn't (?) know is a problem. I do not wish to bring any hardship upon the dealer.

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.
