Received safety recall notices by mail for rear axle pinion nut (p77 / nhtsa 14v-796) and driver airbag inflator (r25 / nhtsa 15v-313.) i contacted a local dealer in july / august of 2015 to schedule repairs. a week later the dealer called back to postpone the repairs because parts were not available. the dealer stated that they would call back to reschedule the repairs when the parts were available. i have not heard back from the dealer. the repairs have still not been made. the dealer has failed to remedy these defects in a reasonable amount of time.

I took my truck to the dealership in elkhart indiana for the recall. they kept it for a week and then said the part was on back order and they did an inspection and told me it was okay to drive. the next morning i reported to them that there was a vibration in the steering wheel and they told me to bring it in so they could see. on the way back, my drive shaft detached in very heavy traffic. luckily there was a side road i immediately turned to. the vehicle was towed back to the dealership and i am awaiting a response. i feel as if this dealership either did not inspect or did not care that my pinion nut was loose. this could have cause a fatality because after my drive shaft detached, it was bouncing end over end in heavy traffic. updated 9/28/15 *ln upon completion of the re-work, i noticed slipping in the rear. i immediately returned the truck once again and found them very unwilling to listen and accusatory that i had done something to cause the damage. the result was that they had put the wrong differential fluid in the rear end. upon completion, the truck performed normally. updated 10/13/15*jb

Takata recall i went to tom o'brian chrysler dealership back in july 2015, about this recall, and i have followed up 3 times to find out when i can bring my truck in to do both recalls on this. they ordered the parts for both recalls and they told me that their oly can do 2 trucks a month because the way their recall works they bring a truck in , do the recall work and then they send the part back and wait for the next replacement part to come in. if this is the real case, it will be several years before i can get my truck worked on. so if this is a safety recall they should be doing a lot more trucks they 2 a month. i want to keep my truck but i am very concerned about a accident . i think if i have to wait longer, chrysler should provided me with a vehicle til my truck gets fixed.
