This vehicle has been repaired twice for the front end. While driving the vehicle at either 35, 45, 55, 65 or 75 it wobbles, vibrates something fierce and then it seems you reach a certain distance at that speed or a bump in the road and bam it fine for a while until it does it again. And it will get to the point that you smell axle gear oil. When I went to have it repaired the first time I was told the front wheel bearing was changed on the passenger side and if it were to make the same noise bring it back made the same wobble noise brought it to another place they replaced the wheel bearing (same one) and the whole front axle and said it was fixed, I took it home and low and behold same problem. No I am trying to have the last place fix what he didn't fix and I am catching a nightmare trying to get in touch with that guy because everytime he says someone will be there to bring the vehicle by no one is there.

Had scheduled an appointment for a recall notice with all american dodge in san angelo, texas. Arrived for appointment and service manager said they could not look at it due to no techs available called to reschedule appointment on 3/9/15 and was told I would have to wait three months for an appointment. Am I supposed to drive around in a potentially unsafe vehicle for three months? I think the dealership is saying that hoping no one calls back to reschedule an appointment. How am I supposed to know what my schedule will be in three months?

Operating normally, a grinding noise began and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed as a rear differential bearing failure, likely due to the previous recall #the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v656000 which was done immediately after notification. Significant costs were incurred to repair the differential, axle and bearings. No heavy payloads or towing was done. Maintenance is always done on time and records are available at the dealership. Its seems inconceivable that such a new truck could have a very significant failure.

I took my dodge into the local dodge dealership for an oil change and to check on the rear axle pinion nut recall. They told me they needed to order the part and that they would call me as soon as it came in. That was three months ago and I still haven't heard back from them.
Rear axle pinion nut n08/the federal safety agency on 2/22/2014 autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram refused to repair this defect, even after I had scheduled an appointment for repair. I took the vehicle in at 0720 on 2/22/2014 and was told by a [xxx] that this was usually not an issue for ram trucks, that they were short-staffed and that they could not get to the vehicle until next week, the dealership refused to repair the recall issue. It appeared they did not want to complete the recall repair, because they would not make any money off of the repair as it was a recall. This is unacceptable. I will now need to be given direction as to where to take the vehicle for repair. I took it to: autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I received my first recall notice about 6 months ago and my second about 2 months ago. I have approached the dealership ,previously mike olsen dodge and currently yakima dodge, and have been put on a waiting list. They state that they only get parts to fix 1 vehicle at a time that then has to be verified before they can fix another one. The recall notice states that the rear axle can disengage and lead to an uncontrollable accident. They also told me that there has been such incident close to town but with no injuries. The notices are identified as safety recall n08/the federal safety agency 13v‑038. This is my only transportation and I am concerned for my family safety when I drive.

Received a safety recall notice for the rear axle pinion nut. Brought the truck to san antonio dodge in san antonio texas and the parts were on back order..service provider said they were only getting 1 per week from the manufacturer and it would not be until after christmas that this problem may be taken care of. So much for the christmas trip...provider said I could still travel even though the recall notice is specific when it said "could cause crash without warning". I have a problem with the dealer having complete disregard for safety by telling me I could travel 1000+ miles on the highway and not worry.

2011 dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to rear axle pinion nut recall notice. *smd the consumer was first informed, the parts were not available. Then he was informed, the parts had arrived, but there were no instructions on how to repair it. Recall # 13v038000.
In march I received a safety recall from chrysler about the above parts and that a crash cold occur if not repaired. I made several phone calls to chrysler and was advised that they were working on it and have not received any information on when they would make the repair. I feel that since it is a safety recall it should not take 9 months for them to come up with a solution and make the repair.
