Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT STATED, THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT ON MY 2011 DODGE RAM 1500 MAY LOOSEN OR FRACTURE. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO LOCK UP. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT COULD LET THE AXLE FLY OFF AND LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH. I RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY OF 2013. I THEN WENT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO CHECK BACK WHEN DODGE GETS THE PARTS MADE. I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED FOR CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH ETC LIGHT COMING ON AND THROTTLE STICKING OR RACING. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP MONTHLY AND AS OF TODAY STILL NO PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD RESULT IN A DEADLY CRASH. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. ONE OF THESE TRUCKS PASS EVERYONE EVERY DAY, NOT TO MENTION I DRIVE ONE. *JS
