All they do is report their findings on a subject. It is up to Mistu/Dodge to issue a recall. Dealers usually don't issue a recall for a fluid leak regaurdless of the possible outcomes. I have never even heard of one. I saw a technical service bulliten on power steering pump noise but that was it. Plus the number of cars with this TC are relitively small compaired to the number of other types of vehicles. Which means the chance of getting sued is lower. So they will be bastards and take their chances. Because someone is going to have to die, have relitives/lawyers who think this is a possible cause of death, and then take them to court AND win. I know it's wrong but it's out of our hands. I would encourage all of you to replace the seals yourselves and be done with it.

If it's so f'ing simple then they should do it, period. I just remembered I actually DO have 2 quarts of x-fer case oil in my car now. Only thing that brought a smile to my face.......I'm mutch happier now
I know what I'm going to do is wrong, but what they're doing is 10x wronger, so I'm totally cool with it. Besides, it'll help me sleep easier tonight.
