Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO FIX THE VIBRATION/OR WOBBLING SENSATION IN MY 05 DODGE DAKOTA SINCE OCTOBER. THEY DID REPLACE THE AXLES BUT THE TRUCK STILL VIBRATES. THEY WILL NOT WORK ON MY TRUCK- THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND I DISAGREE. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES HERE. MY 3.7 V6 ENGINE HAS A LOWER ENGINE KNOCK AT SLOW IDLES. THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SOUND OR SAY IT IS NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO FINALLY HIRE A LAWYER FOR ADVICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY HEATER NOT WORKING AND TRANSMISSION/REAR END MAKING UNEXPLAINED NOISES. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH THE TRUCK AND HOW CHRYSLER IS HANDLING THE SITUATION. *JB
