| Description of the problem | I received a recall notice that stated, the rear axle pinion nut on my 2011 dodge ram 1500 may loosen or fracture. A loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to lock up. At highway speeds it could let the axle fly off and lead to loss of vehicle control and/or a crash. I received the official recall notice in january of 2013. I then went to the car dealership. They told me they didn't have parts to check back when dodge gets the parts made. I was at the dealership today to pick up my truck that was supposedly repaired for chronic problems with etc light coming on and throttle sticking or racing. I checked with the dealership monthly and as of today still no parts. This is a serious problem and could result in a deadly crash. Please address this issue. One of these trucks pass everyone every day, not to mention i drive one. *js |
