Consumer Description

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN APRIL OF 2013 BUT IT DID NOT FIX IT. THE COMPLETE REAR PINION AND WHEEL BEARING GEARS WENT OUT. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT LITHIA DODGE IN SANTA FE SAID THAT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN INSPECTED IN APRIL IT WAS OK. NOT THE CASE. ALL OF THESE MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR A COMPLETE NEW REAR END. LIVES WILL BE LOST IF THIS ISN'T DONE. ALSO, CHRYSLER MUST TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REAR END EVEN IF IT WAS INSPECTED AND APPROVED TO BE OK. IT ISN'T . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
