| Description of the problem | The rear differential in my ram locked up at 35 mph causing the driveshaft to break, the rear of the truck to jump in the air approximately 2ft, and making it skid for 40ft to a hard stop in the middle of the road near a busy intersection. Dodge has yet to recognize this issue and to do something about it despite it happening to multiple rams. This is extremely dangerous!!! Even the dealerships fail to show any concern over this issue. It was taken to miller dodge in martinsburg and will be looked at monday. |
