13V038000 · Power Train:Driveline:Differential Unit

Reported: 2013-02-06 (February 6, 2013) · Model years: 2009

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Ram 1500 trucks manufactured from February 27, 2008, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through October 20, 2011; model year 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota trucks manufactured from February 27, 2007, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through September 30, 2011; model year 2009 Chrysler Aspen trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008; and model year 2009 Dodge Durango trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008. The rear axle pinion nut may loosen due to an undersized pinion spline that can allow relative motion between the nut and companion flange.

Remedy: On November 7, 2013 Chrysler notified owners that dealers would install a pinion nut retainer, free of charge. In July 2015, and under a consent order with NHTSA, the company agreed to offer owners three options for remedying their vehicles: perform the original remedy, offer to repurchase the vehicle at the fair market value plus 10%, or offer an additional incentive offer towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Fiat vehicle. Chrysler will notify owners of the new recall options in a letter expected to be mailed on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N08.

2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN STALLS FOR APPROXIMATELY FIRST 5 MILES AFTER REFUELING. MIL ILLUMINATES (CODES ARE FOR P0455 AND P0456) THEN CLEARS BY ITSELF AFTER A FEW DAYS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ORVR VALVE MALFUNCTION, THIS IS DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON MANY WEBSITES THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET. THIS LEADS TO THE EVAP CANISTER MALFUNCTIONING (HTTP://OPENSIUC.LIB.SIU.EDU/CGI/VIEWCONTENT.CGI?ARTICLE=1006&CONTEXT=AUTO_PRES).

THE PROBLEM STARTED OFF WITH EVERYTIME I PUMP GAS AND FILL THE TANK, AS SOON AS YOU REMOVE THE PUMP THE GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. SUDDENLY ON APRIL 30, 2015 THE TRUCK DIED AND WOULD NOT START. IT WILL CUT ON AND ATTEMPT TO START BUT WOULD NOT STAY ON. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS BAD. FUNNY THING YOU CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE FUEL PUMP ALMOST ANYWHERE!!! THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER AND MOPAR PARTS DO NOT HAVE THIS PARTICULAR ON…

FIRST I MUST START OUT BY SAYING THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE BUYING FROM A DEALERSHIP WHO HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT ANY OF THE PROBLEMS IN ANY FASHION MAINLY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLED ON US DUE TO A DEAD BATTERY. NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT IT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING TO A WIDE RANGE OF PROBLEMS. WHILE TAKING THE TRUCK FOR A REQUIRED STATE INSPECTION, THE TRUCK SOMEHOW MANAGED TO ROLL FORWARD FROM A PARKED POSITION WHEN REVERSE HAD BEEN SELECTED. IT WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE…
