Description of the problem	This is the letter i sent to chrysler: i'm the owner of a jeep grand cherokee 2012, with vin [xxx] as i was repairing a flat tire i noticed something very strange and very dangerous happening in my vehicle. I? M a mechanical engineer by trade and in my 60 years of life i have seen and work on a lot of different cars and i know that can happen in situations similar to this. The portion of the visible threads on the front axle came out of the shaft like removing a sleeve and crumbled like bread crumbs what is to say that the portion of the thread engaged with the nut on the shaft (which isn't visible at this stage) won't have the same end results? What can happen to a car driving 65 ml/h on a highway when a front wheel will fall out? Is my car just a black sheep? Is the lot that my car was produced something out of ordinary? The amount of rust has destroyed the threads on the visible part of the axle. In my opinion this is a disaster waiting to happen. I have purchased extended warranty when i purchased my vehicle and i will be at the dealer tomorrow to repair it i would like chrysler to evaluate the problem and take the necessary actions to fix the problem preventing life's being lost. As you can see from the photos there are no signs of threads left on the axles. Evaluate better. If you like to send me to one specific representative of your company in my area for evaluation please let me know right way. My contact information will be below. A copy of this letter will be sent to ntsb for the records. I hope that i'm wrong and your experts will evaluate, but i have to do this report to i can have a clear conscience that did what i thought is the best. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
