Consumer Description

I RECENTLY HAD A INVESTIGATOR INSPECT MY VEHICLE THAT BROKE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE. CHRYSLER GOT BACK TO ME AND CLAIMED THE BREAK WAS NOT FROM THERE RECALL. CHRYSLER AVOIDED MY WHOLE COMPLAINT OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I WAS NOT RELYING ON RECALLS BUT THE MATERIAL IS NOT RIGHT. I HAD A COUPLE OF PROFESSIONAL WELDERS LOOK AT THE AXLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BREAK WAS ON A WELD, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST POINT AND THAT THE MATERIAL LOOKS POROUS. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM ON THIS MATTER, WHICH TOTALED MY TRUCK DUE TO THE AXLE BREAKING. SEE ALSO 11031993
