NHTSA Complaint #10268390 — 2008 DODGE RAM 1500

THE TWO FRONT STRUTS ON OUR 2008 DODGE ARE LEAKING. THIS IS A PART COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH CHRYSLER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL ITEM. THIS ITEM ALSO CAUSES THE FRONT TIRES TO DETERIORATE AND GO FLAT REGULARLY. TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO THIS BECOMES AN EXPENSE AND/OR BURDEN ON THE OWNERS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN A LANE IN TRAFFIC WHEN THERE ARE CHANGES IN ROAD TEXTURE, POT HOLES, OR IF THERE ARE ROAD DETERIORATION ISSUES. THESE CHANGES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE OUT OF CONTROL AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL SERVICE MANAGERS WHO HAVE ALL CONFIRMED THIS ISSUE. IT IS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. *TR
