Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER GOT ABOUT 300 FEET FROM THE HOUSE AND SAID THE "BRAKES FELT FUNNY" SO SHE DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AT THE CORNER. WELL, SHE SIMPLY TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BROKE CLEAN OFF AT THE HUB. I THANK GOD SHE WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH. HER ROUTE THAT DAY WOULD HAVE PUT HER ON THE HIGHWAY AND IF THIS HAD HAPPENED THEN......I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK PICTURES AND SAID THEY'D PROVIDE WHATEVER INFO I NEEDED. WELL, WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS A LONG TIME AGO. I UNDERSTAND THE TRUCK HAS SOME MILES ON IT BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO GO ONLINE AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IF ANYBODY HAS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE THE HUBS CHECKED....ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS THAT SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ.
