A few years ago the rear end on our 2005 Ram locked up at high speed...a little scary.
I spent $2k buying a junk yard rear end and installed myself.
Well now I just got a recall notice...they need to fix a bearing in the rear end, or it could lock up...who knew. Well now I don’t know what to do - will they touch my replacement rear end, and is it from a year or production run included in the recall. But here’s the kicker - the notice said that not enough parts exist to fix the problem....so stay tuned for another notice! Ah, Dodge....
I have 2007 Dakota and just got a recall notice for air bags. Again, they don’t have the parts and will notify me when they have them. With this latest, I expect they will be bankrupt and gone before those new airbags are available.
Overall, I have liked the truck. Had some front end problems, but it runs well, does great in the snow, and meets my humble needs for occasionally hauling stuff around.
