On 5/24/2019 jones junction t/a jones chrysler jeep dodge diagnosed my 2009 dodge nitro with a failing front drive shaft (the assembly from the transfer case to the differential joint) and recommended immediate replacement. i was told not to drive the vehicle because there was a safety concern that the joint inside the boot could completely fail and the solid metal shaft would drop and snag the road. the part (#52853363af) has been on backorder with dodge chrysler since late may. first delivery date quoted was 6/7/19, then 6/20/19, and now 7/7/19. i have no answers to when this issue will be resolved and when the vehicle will be safe to drive again.
