RCVD. SAFETY RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038 FROM CHRYSLER CORP. APPROX. 30 DAYS AGO ABOUT THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT ON MY 2010 RAM 1500 STATING THAT THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE AND THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. CALLED LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE APPT. TO HAVE FIXED AND DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE, WAITED ANOTHER WEEK AND CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND GOT THE SAME EXCUSE FROM THEM THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MOTIVATE THIS COMPANY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IN A TIMELY MANNER, NOT EVERYONE CAN PARK THEIR VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED WHENEVER CHRYSLER GETS AROUND TO IT. HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT REAR AXLE LOCK-UP AND OTHER ACCIDENTS WITH THE DRIVE SHAFTS. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE FIXED BEFORE ANOTHER ACCIDENT OCCURS OR SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE AND AS HE DECELERATED, THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE AXLE TO SEIZE. AS A RESULT, THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V038000 (POWER TRAIN), IN WHICH THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED. THE DEALER ADVISED HOWEVER THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL SERVICE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT HE WOULD BE USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS WHEN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,466.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY DODGE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE REAR PINION NUT COMING LOOSE. THAT DODGE WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. HERE IT IS 7/10/13 AND NO SOLUTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST. I THINK THE GOV. SHOULD SHUT THEM DOWN TILL A REMEDY IS FOUND IN ANY SAFETY RECALL. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL IN JUNE THAT DODGE WAS STILL WORKING ON IT. *TR

WAS JUST NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT PROBLEM AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER VIA THEIR TOLL FREE NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON 4/1/2013 EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT RECEIVE IT FOR 30 DAYS. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED DATE ON WHEN THE REPAIR PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SO WE ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE OUR UNSAFE VEHICLES SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER INITIAL RECALL BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS FAILING ON THE MANUFACTURE OF AND DELIVERY OF REPAIR PART. I THINK I WILL GO CALL AN ATTORNEY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN HWY HEARD A LOUD THUMP UNDER CAR, THEN A LOT OF BANGING UNDER TRUCK, REAR OF TRUCK JUMPED AND BOUNCED A LITTLE.

MY EXHAUST IS ALL SMASHED UP FROM DRIVE SHAFT WHIPPING AROUND THE CHROME TIPS OUT OF THE BACK BUMPER ARE DROPPED ABOUT 1 INCH AND PUSHED OUT FROM BUMPER 2 INCHES.

STILL NO REMEDY PARTS AVAILABLE (ACCORDING TO MY DODGE DEALER) TO SATISFY A REAR AXLE PINION NUT SAFETY RECALL. I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE M34 VIA US MAIL IN OCTOBER 2012 WITH THE STATEMENT "CHRYSLER ANTICIPATES THE REMEDY PARTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE WITHIN THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2013." WELL, IT'S MAY 1ST AND NO ACTION. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS DELAY COULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A PROBLEM ON MY REAR AXLE. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE VALUE OF MY TRUCK IS DIMINISHED UNTIL THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE. PLEASE DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER REMEDY THIS ASAP. THANK YOU! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500(HEMI) FOR THE PURPOSE OF PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER AFTER I RETIRED. APPROXIMATELY 4-5 MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A "RECALL" DUE TO A PROBLEM IN ASSEMBLY WITH THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT BEING BUILT WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE PATCH ON THE PINION NUT THREADS. I AM NOW TOLD I CAN NOT PULL ANY TYPE OF TRAILER AND THAT IT MAY BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE STATES THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT CONCERNED WITH CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY FASHION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND RECEIVED AN ANSWER THAT IT WILL BE MONTHS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, "IF THEN." DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, MY RETIREMENT TRAVEL PLANS HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD, WAITING ON CHRYSLER/DODGE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH I BOUGHT IN GOOD FAITH FROM A DEALER LOCALLY. THIS LACK OF CONCERN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER/DODGE IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION WHY IT SHOULD TAKE "MANY MONTHS" TO OBTAIN AN "ADHESIVE PATCH" TO CORRECT THEIR ERROR IN MANUFACTURING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

CHRYSLER SENT ME A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N08/NHTSA 13V-038 IN APRIL OF 2013. THIS IS FOR TRUCKS WITH A 9.28" REAR AXLE IT STATES THAT THE PINION NUT MAY BE BUILT WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE PATCH ON THE PINION THREADS. THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVESHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND A SEPARATED DRIVESHAFT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATES THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT INFORMED THEM OF THE FIX NOT SUPPLIED THE PARTS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO. I WAITED A WHILE AND CALLED CHRYSLER IN MAY AND THEY HAD ME BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN INSPECTION AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED TIGHT AT THIS POINT TO WAIT FOR CHRYSLER TO COME UP WITH THE FIX AND CONTACT ME. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL FOR PARTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

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

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE CHRYSLER M34-N08/NHTSA 12V-474 IN DECEMBER 2012, PRIOR TO HAVING 100,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. NOW IN LATE MARCH 2013 (OUT OF WARRANTY-MILEAGE), THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE A PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS OF BEARING FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BE REBUILT. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL PM'S AND FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS FAILING AT 111,000 MILES. OF COURSE THE PARTS FOR RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND NEITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DEALERSHIP WILL RECOGNIZE THE SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THE RECALLED REAR AXLE PINION NUT FAILING. I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR WORK RELATED PURPOSES AND AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER AND THEIR DODGE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO BE BETTER PREPARED FOR THIS RECALL, RECOGNIZE THAT THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT FAILING CAN/WILL CAUSE SUBSEQUENT FAILURES IN A REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND PROVIDE ADEQUATE REPAIRS TO MITIGATE ANY FUTURE ISSUES WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

AFTER HAND WASHING MY TRUCK, I NOTICES SIGNIFICANT DEFECT IN THE CHROME PARTS ON THE TRUCK. MOST OF THE CHROME IS COVERED IN CORROSION AND DISCOLORATION. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ONE YEAR OLD BUT WAS VERY MINOR. THE DEFECTS HAVE SPREAD AND BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE ON THE BUMPERS, WHEELS, STEPS, AND TRIM. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND MET WITH THE REGIONAL CHRYSLER REP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THEY TOOK THE STANCE THAT THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO SOMETHING PICKED UP ON THE ROAD. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. THIS CORROSION IS CONCERNING FOR A 2 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH 18000 MILES THAT IS WELL CARED FOR AND GARAGE KEPT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STAND BY ITS PRODUCTS AND ENSURE A QUALITY PRODUCT. IF A 2 YEAR OLD TRUCK IS COVERED IN RUST IT'S VALUE IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. *TR

FUELED UP AND FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE TIME THE FUEL HAS COME SPITTING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM ON RAMFOURMZ.COM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE LOCKED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT IT AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

THE 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BALL JOINTS BEING TOO SMALL. THIS LEADS TO MY TRUCK SKIPPING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANY BUMPY ROADS AND HAS CAUSED ME MANY, MANY TIMES TO SUDDENLY LOOSE CONTROL. ON BUMPY DIRT ROADS IT CAN HAPPEN AT 35-45 MPH. ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY BAD BETWEEN 55-60 MPH IF YOU HIT ANY BUMP OR EVEN IN A TIGHT CURVE. THIS TRUCK IS HIGHLY UNSTABLE. WHEN PULLING A BOAT WHERE LESS WEIGHT IS ON THE FRONT WHEELS, IT MULTIPLIES THE PROBLEM. I AM FORCED TO NEVER GO FASTER THAN 50MPH ON ANY CURVES THAT ARE REMOTELY SHARP. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS NOT A ACTIVE SAFETY PROBLEM BUT IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM FOR EMISSION. MY TRUCK HAS THE INFAMOUS HEMI TICK. THIS IS CAUSED BY FAULTY MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT EITHER BACK OFF, RUST OFF, OR BREAK OFF LEAVING GAPS BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE MANIFOLD. CO2 IS LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE PRIOR TO GOING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE EPA SHOULD GET INVOLVED...

I RECEIVED A PINION NUT RECALL NOTICE IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2013. AS OF NOW BOTH DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES ARE UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THEIR REASON IS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE FIRST NOTICE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

REAR AXLE PINION NUT RECALL - KNOWN TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS UPON FAILURE - 4 CASES ALREADY. MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAFETY RECALL IN JANUARY 2013 AND SENT OUT SAFETY RECALL NOTICES TO ALL CONSUMERS THAT THE RECALL AFFECTS. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY SIMPLY SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NINE MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE DISTRIBUTION I CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY STATE THAT DODGE HAS FAILED TO SECURE A VENDOR TO SUPPLY THE PRODUCT. THIS CONCERNS ME A GREAT DEAL THAT DODGE PUTS THE CONSUMER IN DANGER BY NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE AND MAKING THE REPAIRS NEEDED. THIS RECALLED PART CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND INJURE THEMSELVES AS WELL AS OTHERS. *JB

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL N08/NHTSA 13V-038 IN EARLY SPRING 2013. PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE PROMISED FOLLOW-UP RECALL HAS YET TO BE RECEIVED.

THE DRIVESHAFT COMPLETELY FELL OFF MY TRUCK LOCKING UP THE REAR END. THE TRUCK BOUNCED VIOLENTLY DOWN THE ROAD LEAVING SKID MARKS AND HOLES IN THE PAVEMENT WHERE THE DRIVESHAFT HIT IT UNTIL THE WHOLE THING FINALLY CAME OFF. SMOKE ROLLED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT FINALLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD AND NOT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. UNDER DIFFERENT ROAD CONDITIONS & SPEED THIS FAILURE COULD DEFINITELY HAVE LED TO A ROLL-OVER AND POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER OF ANY POTENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

THE LADY THEN STATED THAT THE TIE-RODS WERE ANOTHER CASE FOR BUY BACK . WHEN TOLD MY TRUCK HAD THAT REPAIR SHE STATED ITS ANOTHER TIE-ROD RECALL . WHEN ASKED WHAT WERE THE CORRECT FAILURES AND RECALLS SHE STATED SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION . WHY IS IT THEY ARE BEING FORCED TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES BUT MAKE EXCUSES WHEN IT COMES TIME TOO . I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK . IF AND WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE OR TRAVEL FAR I WILL RENT A CAR .
