NHTSA Complaint #10538560 — 2010 RAM 1500

REAR AXLE PINION NUT RECALL - KNOWN TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS UPON FAILURE - 4 CASES ALREADY. MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAFETY RECALL IN JANUARY 2013 AND SENT OUT SAFETY RECALL NOTICES TO ALL CONSUMERS THAT THE RECALL AFFECTS. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY SIMPLY SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NINE MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE DISTRIBUTION I CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY STATE THAT DODGE HAS FAILED TO SECURE A VENDOR TO SUPPLY THE PRODUCT. THIS CONCERNS ME A GREAT DEAL THAT DODGE PUTS THE CONSUMER IN DANGER BY NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE AND MAKING THE REPAIRS NEEDED. THIS RECALLED PART CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND INJURE THEMSELVES AS WELL AS OTHERS. *JB
