STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED A RUST BUBBLE UNDER THE PAINT A FEW INCHES ABOVE THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I REMOVED THE PAINT ON THE 1/4" DIAMETER AREA AND COATED WITH TOUCH UP PAINT. AFTER A WEEK THE RUST STARTED BLEEDING THRU THE TOUCH UP PAINT AND I NOTICED A COUPLE OF MORE BUBBLES. I THEN REMOVED THESE BUBBLES WITH A HAND HELD PENCIL TYPE GRINDER, COATED WITH PRIMER, THEN TOUCH UP PAINT ONLY TO FIND THE SAME THING A FEW WEEKS LATER. I HAVE DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH AND THIS SEEM LIKE A COMMON ISSUE. DUE TO THE INNER FENDER I CAN NOT GET TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE FENDER TO STOP THE ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE THE DESIGN ALLOWS WATER/SALT/DEBRIS TO BE TRAPPED IN THIS AREA.

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.

I RECEIVED A FORMAL RECALL NOTICE (P77/NHTSA 14V-796) WHICH STATED A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY TRUCK'S REAR PINION NUT THAT MAY COME LOOSE OR FALL OFF. WHEN I CALLED OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN WESTERLY, RHODE ISLAND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T HAVE THE CORRECTIVE PARTS FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS? THIS BEING A SAFETY CONCERN AND MY SECOND NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER WHY ARE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE? IT SEEMS I HAVE TWO RECALLS IN AN OPEN STATUS AND CAN'T GET EITHER ONE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AT THIS TIME. A CONCERNED CHRYSLER OWNER.
