Referencing NHTSA campaign number: 13V038000. I received notice my truck is involved in this recall late April or early May 2013. The letter stated when parts were available I would be sent a follow up letter so that repairs could be made. I contacted marmies motors in great bend, ks 6/20/2013 and they stated the follow up letters had not been issued. It is now August 15, 2013 and I still have not received the follow up letter. This is entirely to long of time period and Chrysler is making a mockery out of the NHTSA not only in the delay of notifying owners about parts availability, but also their slow notification time of the original recall letter which according to your notice was to begin in March, 2013.

I was sitting at a red stop light. When the light turned green I released my foot from the brake and put my foot on the gas pedal. At that time I heard a loud boom and the truck shook as if we were hit from behind. We were not hit. The truck would run, but would not drive when it was in gear. My truck was towed to the local dealership and it was determine the rear pinion shaft snapped in half.
