Consumer Description

RAM 1550 WITH 19" TIRES HAS EXPERIENCE 2 SUCCESSIVE REAR-END FAILURES. REPLACEMENT PARTS INCLUDE CASE, BEARINGS AND RING/PINION. FAILURES OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEED. HAD THEY OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED AND THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP THE VEHICLE WOULD MOST LIKELY ROLL OVER AND INJURE/KILL THE OCCUPANTS. THERE IS ANECDOTAL REPORTS OF SUCH FAILURES IN INTERNET USER GROUPS AND ELSEWHERE. I HAVE SUFFERED 2 FAILURES IN 2 000 MILES (30 000 AND 32 000 MILES) AND I AM SURPRISE TO SEEE NO ACTION ON THIS TOPIC. *NM
