Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE RAM IN 2012 . THE TRUCK HAD 48,XXX MILES ON IT . THE PINION NUT AND TIE-ROD HAD FAILED AND THE REPAIRS MADE . IN EARLY 2015 THE PINION NUT FAILED AGAIN , CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND CRASH . THE REPAIRS WERE AGAIN MADE . WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER FIAT I CALLED THEM TO CHECK IF MY TRUCK WOULD BE ONE THAT WAS ON THE BUYBACK LIST . I WAS TOLD THAT THAT TRUCKS WITH THE PINION NUT WERE , AFTER BEING PUT ON HOLD I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WASN'T IN THE BRACKET FOR THE RIGHT PINION NUT FAILURE . THE LADY THEN STATED THAT THE TIE-RODS WERE ANOTHER CASE FOR BUY BACK . WHEN TOLD MY TRUCK HAD THAT REPAIR SHE STATED ITS ANOTHER TIE-ROD RECALL . WHEN ASKED WHAT WERE THE CORRECT FAILURES AND RECALLS SHE STATED SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION . WHY IS IT THEY ARE BEING FORCED TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES BUT MAKE EXCUSES WHEN IT COMES TIME TOO . I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK . IF AND WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE OR TRAVEL FAR I WILL RENT A CAR .
