Problems with 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 POWER TRAIN

There was a recall around 2012-2013 for 2009 dodge ram 1500 pick up trucks because some pinion nuts could come loose. i had the recall performed as soon as i received the notice. the fix for this was to install a retainer that would not allow the nut to loosen. this week, 12/16/19, i went to replace my pinion seal as i noticed leaking at the shaft. i feel that the retainer that was used to hold the nut in place is defective and not a sufficient fix as the nut has definitely moved since the recall work was performed. there are most likely still trucks on the road where a dangerous condition is beginning to develop again. i noticed that the pinion nut had only one thread showing and took very little force to remove. as i did not know how to remove the retainer "holding" the nut in place, i used a hammer and a punch to try to spin it. the retainer and the nut moved with very little effort. there was only one thread on the shaft showing before i loosened it. i ...

I noticed that when breaking at a red light or during high traffic areas, my truck looses complete power. i cannot turn the steering wheel and the engine shuts down. it doesn't happen all the time, but enough to worry about not being able to steer away from traffic. i don't know if there is a recall for this issue, but i will certainly will like to get some information about this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 dodge ram 1500. the contact stated that the rear of the vehicle made an abnormal noise. first chrysler dodge jeep ram (280 e washington st, north attleborough, ma) stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 13v038000 (power train); therefore, any additional damages would be at the contact's expense. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

While making a right turn into a driveway my front left wheel flange separated from the wheel bearing causing the wheel to come off. the truck is a two wheel drive however dodge uses the same unit wheel bearing as on a four wheel drive truck. two wheel drive trucks do not have a cv axle shaft through the bearing and so if the wheel flange separates there is nothing to hold the unit bearing together. to dramatize the issue the same thing happened on my same truck a year previous under near identical circumstances. the first time i think part defect, the second time i think design defect. ironically i had just exited the freeway onto secondary road and was making slow speed turns when the failure occurred. i want to emphasize the whhel bearing did not fail. the flange with the lug studs for the wheel separated from the bearing. two times, opposite sides on the same truck.

Will not go out of 4th gear. only has 117,000 miles
