Rear pinion nut, drive shaft recall. In novembe while driving the rear pinion nut came a loose sending the drive shaft into the transfer case completely breaking the whole thing ripped the rear gears and locking up wheels.after 2 mos. Of trying finally got a chrysler dodge dealer to accept my truck under the recall. After almost a mos. In shop $1100 worth of repairs that I had to pay for that werent there prior to the incident, I got my truck back 2 weeks later it happen again. This time it was just the transfer case that was damaged. Towed it back to dealership, this time I had to pay $400 because 4x4 sensor was bad and because of the year of my truck its sold with 2 other switches and they werent going to warranty the work if I didnt pay to have switches changed by them. Mind you the light wasnt on prior to this happening the 2nd time. I called chryler corp explained to them what was going on and they told me that there is nothing they can do and they dont get involved with there dealerships. Now here I am 2 weeks later took a road trip to georgia and boom it happened again while im driving I just see smoke coming out from under my truck, I manage to pull over and the transfer case explodes again. I get it to dodge dealership in gwinnette they find out the drive shaft is bent and was never replaced from when it exploded the first time. It took chrysler a week to respond to the dealership in gwinnette on how to procede. Its been 3 weeks havent gotten a return call from chrysler. No accommadations have been made for me. Im stranded with no vehicle wasted my whole entire vacation. Vehicle still not repaired.

The limited slip clutch retaining clips have broke. This has left metal in the rear differential and the safety of driving the vehicle in question. The repair is going to be approx. $1500. Reports with nhsta have stated the driveshaft could separate from the connection at the differential, generally at speeds over 50mph, causing the vehicle to go into a spin.

My truck started shaking aggressively 3-4 year ago at speeds around 50 MPH and over , I tried new tires and that did not work. After receiving my second recall I took my truck to bill stanford dodge-chrysler here in talladega al to have it fixed with the recall. They admitted the pinion nut was loose and they said they tightened it and that I needed new tires on the rear and that should fix it , the tire dealer said I did not need new rear tires that I should have several years left on them but I told him what bill stanford said so he put new tires on the back but that had no affect on the vibrating and shaking of the truck. Now I receive another recall stating " the lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle , going on to state this could cause a crash without warning or the real axle to seize and separate the drive shaft causing a loss of motive power. I have a good truck except for the rear end which shakes and vibrates aggressively but I can get no help from the local dealer here in talladega al. All I am asking is that they fix it to its original state and live up to the safety recall. I can not afford a new vehicle and do not want to sue or seek punitive damages , I would just like my truck to be fixed in an honest fashion. Thank you for any help .
