All Suspensionfront Complaints
THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHIMMYING AND THE STEERING WHEEL. AT FIRST, IT STARTED AT ABOUT 55 MPH. NOW IT IS DOING IT AT LOWER AND LOWER SPEEDS. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN GOING SLOW. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND LOWER CONTROL ARM. CAMPAIGN NO 01V152000 BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE TO LET THEM SELL DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND NOT MAKE THEM RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES? THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT MY RAM TRUCK. THERE'S A RECALL ON IT AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE AIR AND HEAT GOING OUT. I WISH I HAD READ THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST THEM...
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND FOUND THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKS BROKE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TWICE.*AK THE SWAY BAR LINK, BUSHINGS AND NUTS WERE ALL REPLACED. *NM
BUSHINGS ON RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILED. PROBLEM WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY PRICE DODGE IN NEW CASTLE, DE, IN NOV '03, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION IN FEB '04.
