POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ELKHART INDIANA FOR THE RECALL. THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND THEN SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DID AN INSPECTION AND TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE. THE NEXT MORNING I REPORTED TO THEM THAT THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN SO THEY COULD SEE. ON THE WAY BACK, MY DRIVE SHAFT DETACHED IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THERE WAS A SIDE ROAD I IMMEDIATELY TURNED TO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. I FEEL AS IF THIS DEALERSHIP EITHER DID NOT INSPECT OR DID NOT CARE THAT MY PINION NUT WAS LOOSE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A FATALITY BECAUSE AFTER MY DRIVE SHAFT DETACHED, IT WAS BOUNCING END OVER END IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPON COMPLETION OF THE RE-WORK, I NOTICED SLIPPING IN THE REAR. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN AND FOUND THEM VERY UNWILLING TO LISTEN AND ACCUSATORY THAT I HAD DONE SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THEY HAD PUT THE WRONG DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IN THE REAR END. UPON COMPLETION, THE TRUCK PERFORMED NORMALLY. UPDATED 10/13/15*JB

ENGINE
THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH MY DODGE 1500 ENGINE (2005). ON JULY 21, 2014, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TEMP CAGE STARTED MOVING TOWARD HOT. I GOT HOME, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND POPPED THE HOOD. THE COOLANT WAS COMPLETELY OUT! WENT TO PEP BOYS, FILLED IT UP AND TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, WOULD NOT START. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THE DIAGNOSIS WAS 4 CYLINDERS DROPPING AND NEEDING AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THERE WAS NO "KNOWN" REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED AS ALL THE MECHANICAL PARTS WERE WORKING PROPERLY (INITIALLY THE FAN WAS TO BLAME -- BUT TURNED OUT IT WAS WORKING COMPLETELY NORMAL). $6,000 LATER (NEW ENGINE AND LABOR) I AM STILL WONDERING WHY THIS HAPPENED WITH NO ANSWERS. INSURANCE WON'T HELP, NO MECHANIC CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. PLEASE HELP!

PHONE 956-267-8830, TO FIX THE TWO RECALLS ON MY DODGE RAM SLT 1500 2005 TRUCK AND AFTER THEY MAKING THE APPOINTMENTS, THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THESE TWO OPEN RECALLS AND THAT THEY WILL LET ME KNOW IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME TWO WEEKS AGO. THEY EVEN CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW NOT TO FORGET AND BRING MY TRUCK FOR THE TWO OPEN RECALLS AND WHEN I GET THERE...THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE.
