| Description of the problem | Nearly a year ago, i received notice from ram of a recall on a rear axle pinion nut. They said that the nut could loosen due to undersized pinion shaft splines, possibly causing the rear axle to seize or cause the drive shaft to separate, possibly causing a crash without warning. When i called a local dealer in regards to the recall notice, they said that they didn't have the required part to remedy the recall and that they may receive the part in september of 2014. I waited until october to call and schedule an appointment and they still didn't have it. Now in may 2015, i've received between 4-5 more notices since the first and i tried to get the part fixed or replaced and the dealer still doesn't have the part to fix the problem. I ask you then nhtsa, what the hell is the point in having car manufacturers send notices like these out telling consumers to get the problems fixed in a timely manner when that is not possible?! What is your fix to fix the car manufacturers and look out for consumers and the public safety?! |
