Well I am at the dealer right now getting a new rear axle. The welds on the center section where the tubes are held with the button welds cracked and are leaking gear oil. It only took two trips to the dealer to get them to agree to get it done under warranty @ 59400 miles.

At least you caught it before it broke free and spun the center section.

You must have a stand up dealer to take care of you. Good ones will, others won't

We need to keep identifying the quality dealerships that make FCA stand behind their product and give them more of our business!

Yea I have been keeping an eye on things as I knew I would be coming up to the end of my power train warranty.

That's awesome that they're taking care of the problem but the sad thing is the new one probably won't be much different.
