| Description of the problem | I owns a 2010 dodge ram 1500. I have attempted to have the vehicle repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v038000 (power train) but was informed that the parts were not available and that he would be contacted when the parts were to become available. I feel that since the failure was reported in february of 2013, there should have been a remedy available. The recall stated that the expected date to begin servicing vehicles was during may of 2013 and it is currently late august of 2013. The current mileage is 24,000 and i am uncomfortable driving the vehicle for any distance, but will be forced to take it cross country in the near future. I have called chrysler repeatedly and have been told it's a parts supplier problem, they are changing suppliers, it will now be 3-4 weeks.... One excuse after another. Yesterday i called again and was advised to take the truck to a dealer and have them check the pinion nut to see if it was loose. I did so, it was not loose, and i was told "it should be ok" for the trip, but no guarantee. This is rotten way to do business. There is no failure yet. |
