Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOAD POP, AT WHCIH POINT STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT AND IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS RUBBING OR HANGING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBUS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT AND LEFT CONTROL ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS, AND THE RIGHT AND LEFT WHEEL BEARINGS ALL MUST BE REPLACED. TOTAL REPAIR COST TO BE $1,900. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK 3 YEARS AND HAVE PUT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE DURING THE TIME PERIOD. WE HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTANENCE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. IT APPEARS THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME TO HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *AK
