SAFETY RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038 ISSUED 2/13. LETTER RECEIVED THAT 'PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. CHRYSLER WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITHA FOLLOW UP RECALL NOTICE WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.' CONTINUED TO CALL DEALER AND CONTINUOUSLY TOLD PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECIEVED YET. IN MAY 2013, HAD DEALER CONFIRM REAR AXLE PINION NUT WAS TIGHT (THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX RECALL). HAVE IN WRITING THAT NUT WAS TIGHT AND ALL WAS FINE. AUG. 16, 2013, THE NUT FAILS AND DRIVESHAFT SNAPS FREE (GEARS SHEARED OFF). LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF VEHICLE DUE TO REAR WHEELS LOCKING. LUCKILY HAD JUST EXITED RT 80 ON TO SIDE ROAD. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL DUE TO PINION NUT FAILURE. DEALER ORDERED ALL NEW PARTS TO REBUILD TRUCK. WHEN ASKED IF THIS WILL RENDER THE RECALL 'FIXED' HE SAYS NO. WE STILL HAVE TO GET THE RECALL PINION NUT FIXED ON THE NEW PART. BUT THERE IS NO FIX!! SO THEY ARE BASICALLY PLACING MY FAMILY IN A DEATH TRAP AGAIN. WHO IS GOING TO STOP THE BLATANT NEGLIGENCE AT THIS POINT? ISN'T THIS SITE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE? HELP US! THIS ISN'T A HOT SPILLED CUP OF COFFEE. THIS IS NOT A FRIVOLOUS REQUEST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH I HEARD A WHINING SOUND. I REACHED MY EXIT AND THERE WAS A CLUNKING SOUND AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I INSPECTED THE TRUCK THE DRIVE LINE WAS ON THE GROUND DISCONNECTED FROM THE REAR AXLE. THE GEARS WERE LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK COULD NOT MOVE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. AFTER 5 WEEKS THERE ARE STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. THEY ARE REPAIRING THE TRUCK AND USING STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT CONTAIN THE SAME DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. 8/15/13 THE WARRANTY CENTER SAID THE NON-DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. *TR

REFERENCING NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V038000. I RECEIVED NOTICE MY TRUCK IS INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL LATE APRIL OR EARLY MAY 2013. THE LETTER STATED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE I WOULD BE SENT A FOLLOW UP LETTER SO THAT REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. I CONTACTED MARMIES MOTORS IN GREAT BEND, KS 6/20/2013 AND THEY STATED THE FOLLOW UP LETTERS HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED. IT IS NOW AUGUST 15, 2013 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FOLLOW UP LETTER. THIS IS ENTIRELY TO LONG OF TIME PERIOD AND CHRYSLER IS MAKING A MOCKERY OUT OF THE NHTSA NOT ONLY IN THE DELAY OF NOTIFYING OWNERS ABOUT PARTS AVAILABILITY, BUT ALSO THEIR SLOW NOTIFICATION TIME OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL LETTER WHICH ACCORDING TO YOUR NOTICE WAS TO BEGIN IN MARCH, 2013. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS FOR CHRYSLER TO GET NEW REAR AXLE PINION NUTS IN. THEY SENT ME A RECALL THAT THE DEFECTIVE NUTS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. YET EVERY TIME I CALL THEY CAN'T EVEN TELL ME WHEN THE NEW PINION NUTS WILL BE IN. ARE THEY WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. IS THERE ANY THING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THIS? THE RECALL NO IS N08/NHTSA 13V-038. *TR
