| Description of the problem | While driving with my wife at a speed of about 45 mph my axle fell out of my 2009 dodge ram. We lost all control of the vehicle and were stuck in the street while awaiting a tow truck. This was caused due to my pinion nut coming off. I took the vehicle to dodge and i ask if there was a recall on theses trucks,they told me there was no recall. I had the repairs done which cost me $1898. 66. I recently found out that they had in fact did a recall recently. I wrote to chrysler as i was directed. I received a phone call today 11/01/2012 and they informed me that my truck was not included in the recall because it was not manufactured between 07/01/09 30/11/09. Mine was manufactured in dec of 08. Please somebody help me !! I know that im not gonna be the only one complaining about this . |
