Consumer Description

REAR END FROZE, LOCKED UP, AND DRIVE SHAFT CAME OFF. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS CURRENT RECALL P77 FOR 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. MY TRUCK SHOWS A MANUFACTURE DATE OF NOVEMBER 2003, WHEREAS THE P77 STARTS FOR TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BEGINNING JANUARY 2004. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DID DODGE DO DIFFERENT FROM NOVEMBER 2003 TO JANUARY 2004 ( 2 MONTHS), AND IF NOTHING , WHY ISN'T MY TRUCK NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, AND IF HER REAR LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY, JUST A FEW MINUTES EARLIER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR TRUCK, AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT!
