I OWN A 2009 DODGE RAM , VIN #[XXX], THAT IS COVERED BY RECALL 13V-038. DODGE/FCA AND IT'S AGENT STERICYCLE REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE RECALL.

THAT NUMBER IS OF COURSE NOT THE PURCHASE PRICE I PAID BUT IS THE ONLY OFFER [XXX] WOULD MAKE. I RELUCTANTLY AGREED AND SENT HER THE INFORMATION SHE REQUESTED. UNFORTUNATELY ON MARCH 28TH WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO DEL RIO, TX FROM MY HOME IN SAN ANGELO, TX THE DEFECT OCCURRED AND THE DRIVE TRAIN DETACHED FROM MY REAR AXLE. MY TRUCK WAS STRANDED IN SONORA, TX. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED [XXX] OF THE SITUATION AND ASKED FOR HER GUIDANCE.
