Description of the problem	We were going 70 mph, in the left lane passing a semi-truck, towing our boat in traffic when we heard a loud noise & started seeing parts coming out from underneath our vehicle. The vehicle became uncontrollable, but between the two of us, we were able to get to the right side of the road, but still blocking traffic in the right lane. A park ranger came behind us, put on his flashers to warn traffic behind us & an incident response truck also came. They were able to pull us about a half block to a spot in the road where we were no longer blocking traffic. A tow truck came & took us 50 miles to ellensburg, wa where our truck was repaired under warranty at university auto center. We had received a safety recall notice (n08/nhtsa 13v-038) several months prior to the incident, but with every service at our local dodge dealer we were told that the parts were not yet available & not to worry that no problems had occurred yet. We were without our vehicle for 15 days. It has been repaired, but we are nervous about driving it. We have been told by several that the outcome could have been way more serious including fatal if we were not towing our boat. The weight of the boat held us down. We are faithful dodge customers, so will be contacting them direct to relay all of this information to them in our words. It was a very scary experience & we feel that the chrysler corporation needs to compensate us. In august while driving on the freeway, pulling a boat, the gears started falling from the rear end and the consumer was all over the highway, as a result of the recall not being performed. All four wheels locked up due to the dribbling breaking the transfer case. The consumer has since purchased another vehicle. Updated 12/11/13
