Even though I live here in the UK and am a native here, I filed a report to the NHTA over 4 yrs ago as well.
The reply then was that they didn't know about this problem and that no one had really complained to them about it.
That's probably true, but we all know there are thousands of Dodges out there with this problem.
I personally don't know, how a "lock up" at freeway speeds hasn't happened with the unfortunate results of death to be honest??
That rear end does grenade from these clip troubles and I've read of several lucky escapes, with regards to this issue.
I fitted a DTT and forgot about any rear end issues and potential safety issues for my family.
Money well spent!!
