POWER TRAIN
DRIVING STRAIGHT IN TOWN AT 30 MPH WHEN REAR-END LOCKED UP. WITH NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS, NO GRINDING, SQUEALING, OR SHIMMYING, THE TRUCK SKIDDED ABOUT 20 YDS BEFORE THE DRIVESHAFT LITERALLY RIPPED IN HALF, WITH BOTH HALVES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. PINION BEARING ALREADY HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR PRIOR AFTER FEELING SOME GRINDING AND HEARING SOUNDS, BUT HAS RUN SMOOTH AS BUTTER SINCE. I HAD MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION AT TAKE TEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. REAR END REMAINED LOCKED UP WITH DRIVESHAFT REMOVED (OBLITERATED) WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE. GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, OR MYSELF AND 7 YEAR OLD SON MAY HAVE NOT SURVIVED.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE PURCHASED OUR 2006 DODGE TRUCK IN OCTOBER OF 2015. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AT THE END OF JULY 2016. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, DISHMAN DODGE OF SPOKANE, WASHINGTON DID NOT INFORM US OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN THIS TRUCK. IN 2014, NTSA ASKED 10 CAR COMPANIES TO RECALL 7.8 MILLION VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY IN 7 SOUTHERN STATES, PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. TRUE, THE AIR BAG PROPELLANT BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE OVER TIME AND WITH HOT OR HUMID TEMPERATURES ,BUT THAT IS ONLY A FACTOR WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS SPONTANEOUSLY OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER AND THE BAG SHOULD NOT BE DEPLOYING IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT ABOUT WHEN A VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A MODERATE OR MAJOR ACCIDENT? WHY WAS THAT NOT CONSIDERED WHEN THE RECALL FIRST TOOK PLACE? WHY WEREN'T DRIVERS IN THE REST OF THE STATES NOTIFIED TOO? ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PARTS OR REPLACEMENTS FOR THESE AIRBAGS SO, IF THE TAKATA AIR BAG DEPLOYS IN OUR VEHICLES FOR ANY REASON, US, OUR LOVED ONES, CHILDREN, MOTHERS, FATHERS ARE JUST OUT OF LUCK I GUESS. WHEN DID FIAT -CHRYSLER FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? ARE ANY OF YOU LOOKING INTO THE FACT THAT MANY VEHICLES WERE SOLD TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS, WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT THESE AIRBAGS WERE HAZARDOUS? I BELIEVE DISHMAN DODGE OF SPOKANE HAD FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS WHEN THEY SOLD US OUR TRUCK BUT, THEY'RE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT AT ALL. NOW I AM STUCK DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I WON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I CAN'T TRADE IT OR SELL IT BECAUSE THEN I'D JUST BE PASSING THE HAZARD ONTO SOMEONE ELSE, WHICH IS WRONG. SO WHO'S GOING TO HELP KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE? WHO'S GOING TO HELP US? WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE GETS HURT OF KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY AIRBAG? WILL YOU ONLY DO WHAT'S RIGHT AFTER MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR DIE? HELP US
