| Description of the problem | Received a safety recall notice for the rear axle pinion nut. Brought the truck to san antonio dodge in san antonio texas and the parts were on back order.. Service provider said they were only getting 1 per week from the manufacturer and it would not be until after christmas that this problem may be taken care of. So much for the christmas trip... Provider said i could still travel even though the recall notice is specific when it said "could cause crash without warning". I have a problem with the dealer having complete disregard for safety by telling me i could travel 1000+ miles on the highway and not worry. |
