I have made contact with local car dealer Laredo Dodge located at 6320 bob bullock loop, Laredo, Texas. 78041. Phone 956-267-8830, to fix the two recalls on my Dodge Ram slt 1500 2005 truck and after they making the appointments, they continue to claim there are no parts to fix these two open recalls and that they will let me know in the future. That's the same thing they told me two weeks ago. They even called me to let me know not to forget and bring my truck for the two open recalls and when I get there...there are no parts available.

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. Because of these dangerous situation I will not drive this vehicle and cannot afford to buy another. I feel Chrysler should take this dangerous vehicle off my hands and reimbursed me for what I paid for it so I can purchase a vehicle that is safe to drive!

Ram 1500

  • 49,847 miles
I received a formal recall notice (P77/NHTSA 14V-796) which stated a safety concern with my truck's rear pinion nut that may come loose or fall off. When I called our local Dodge dealer in westerly, Rhode Island they told me they wouldn't have the corrective parts for about 2-3 months" this being a safety concern and my second notice from Chrysler why are parts not available" it seems I have two recalls in an open status and can't get either one repaired by Chrysler at this time. A concerned Chrysler owner.
