Consumer Description

MY SISTER WAS IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT JUNE 23RD 2015. ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER HER DEATH WE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE TRUCKS REAR AXLE PINION NUT. THEN A WEEK AFTER THAT WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR. DURING THE INCIDENT HER TRUCKS RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS SNAPPED AT THE AXLE LEAVING US TO BELIEVE THAT THE PINION NUT WAS LOOSE AND CAUSED THIS REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND BREAK. IN THE CRASH ALL OF THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PINION NUT RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 AND WE ARE QUESTIONING WHY IT TOOK CHRYSLER 5 MONTHS TO PROVIDE US WITH THIS INFORMATION.
