NHTSA Complaint #10365564 — 2004 DODGE RAM 1500

I HEARD WHINE NOISE COMING FROM MY FRONT WHEEL HUBS ON MY 04 RAM 1500 2WD WITH 73,724 MILES IN JANUARY OF 2010. TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED HUBS WERE LOOSE AND REPLACE THEM BOTH WITH AFTERMARKET HUBS PART NUMBER 515072. 10 MONTHS LATER AND APPROX 4000 MILES ON NOVEMBER 10, 2010 AT 7 PM I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN AN EMPTY LOT GOING TO AN ATM AND FELT AND HEARD A POP THEN MY RIGHT FRONT END WAS ON THE ASPHALT. GOT OUT AND FOUND MY WHEEL LAYING NEXT TO MY TRUCK WITH ALL LUG NUTS STILL IN PLACE. I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND THE WHEEL HUB BROKE COMPLETELY APART LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT. MY FRONT RIGHT FENDER IS DAMAGED, THE BRAKE CALIPER SNAPPED OFF THE SPINDLE AND HUB IS IN SEVERAL PIECES WITH ROLLER BEARINGS SPREAD OUT OVER AREA THAT IS JUST WHAT I SAW THE MAY BE MORE DAMAGE. CALLED THE DEALER THEY SENT A WRECKER TO GET MY TRUCK AND STILL WAITING TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T NOW ANYTHING. *TR
