Went to the dealership here in Orlando to have the car inspected for the recall
#998 - Steering and Differential Frame Repair. He said he saw cracks and would definitely need to address it. But the Service Director, who has been a friend for a couple of years now advised me that they did not trust their body shop or the shop they use to do such as they have no experience in such. So, now I will have Larry Macedo do the work.
The Tech said that this recall is ridiculous as there has to be an inspection first before any action can be taken that will be under warranty. He said that Dodge needs to just call in all the cars and have them welded whether there be visible cracks or not.............he said what happens when an owner brings his car in, no cracks are found, and the owner is then sent away thinking all is well as there were no cracks found (at that time at least). What happens down the road when a crack develops and the owner still think his car is safe as it was inspected earlier on and found to be ok. A danger lurking and definitely a safety issue to the owner and public.
What do you guys think? If that is the way this recall is working, then I tend to agree with this Tech. Be safe guys!
