I was driving along in my dodge 1500 quad cab that I purchased this past january in 2015 when the rear end of the vehicle locked up on me it slid for approximately 50 ft. When the drive shaft broke loose and folded in half and I ran it over which propelled me into the ditch I contacted the dodge dealership and had the vehicle towed to advantge dodge in mt. Dora where at first they tried to deny that it had anything to do with the recall p77 until they confirmed that the pinion nut came looseand that is what caused the incident.

There have been 5 recalls on my dodge ram. The airbags may rupture in 2015, the rear axle pinion nut may loosen at the differential (powertrain) in 2014, again the airbags inflator may rupture in 2014, the wheel hub assembly (wheels) in 2010, also a recall for the after market replacement pitman arms (steering) in 2010. I have gone to my chrysler dealer in las cruces, new mexico; the dodge dealer has been closed for a few years now. I have been told I have to have a notification from chrysler/dodge to have them just to take a look at it, much less fix the problems. Now there is a huge recall; this is now really gotten serious. Please help me as much as you can to take care of the malfunctions on my dodge ram as soon as possible. I have not taken the dodge on long distance road trips for the past couple of years now. The failed components listed below do not show all the malfunctions I have listed above.
I have 2 active recalls on my p/u. I have contacted the dealer homer skelton chrysler dodge jeep 7661 us hwy 51n millington,tn. At least 3 times the lastest being 7-29-15.I've been told I'm on a list awaiting parts. One of the recalls involves the drivers side air bags & exposer to heat and humitiy being. We have plenty of that in the mid south. Lately the vehicle has been making a load clump when coming to a stop. The truck will lock up and die. It hasnt done it while going down the road only when coming to a stop. No parts have been damaged yet but something is not right.
I took my truck to the dealership in elkhart indiana for the recall. They kept it for a week and then said the part was on back order and they did an inspection and told me it was okay to drive. The next morning I reported to them that there was a vibration in the steering wheel and they told me to bring it in so they could see. On the way back, my drive shaft detached in very heavy traffic. Luckily there was a side road I immediately turned to. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership and I am awaiting a response. I feel as if this dealership either did not inspect or did not care that my pinion nut was loose. This could have cause a fatality because after my drive shaft detached, it was bouncing end over end in heavy traffic. Updated 9/28/15 *ln upon completion of the re-work, I noticed slipping in the rear. I immediately returned the truck once again and found them very unwilling to listen and accusatory that I had done something to cause the damage. The result was that they had put the wrong differential fluid in the rear end. Upon completion, the truck performed normally. Updated 10/13/15

I received two recall notices for fixes on my 2005 doge ram. I have had this vehicle for one year. The recall notices are for defective airbag inflator housing and a rear axle pinion nut. In the rec all notice I was informed there is no permanent fix for either of these problems. Both defects could cause injury or death. I want chrysler to take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimburse me for the $12,000 I paid for it a year ago.
