VEHICLE HAS PULLED TO RIGHT SINCE DRIVING IT OFF LOT. WAS TOLD BY SALESMAN THIS WAS DESIGNED INTO TRUCK FOR SAFETY REASONS. REGUIRES 1/4 TURN OF STEERING WHEEL TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT TRAVEL AND IF STEERING WHEEL RELEASED, DARTS SHARPLY TO RIGHT. I'VE HAD TWO ALIGNMENTS BY DODGE DEALER WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN PULLING. HAS ALSO DEVELOPED SEVERE "SHIMMY" AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS OR HOLES.

HAVE HAD A SEVERE RIGHT HAND PULLING PROBLEM UNDER MODERATE TO SEVERE BRAKING. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSE AS THE BRAKES ARE AT THEIR OPERATING TEMP. WHEN BRAKES ARE COLD THE PULLING PROBLEM IS MINIMAL. PRIOR VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP HAS RESULTED IN THE REPLACMENT OF CALIPERS, ALIGNMENT AND PROPORTION VALVE. EVENTHOUGH THESE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE PROBLEM REVEALED ITSELF AS EARLY AS 15,000 MILES AND HAS PERSISTED INTERMITTANTLY SINCE THAT TIME.

#740373 | February 9, 2001

THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE!! TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, STEERING PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN LOADED/TOWING. NOW TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING (LOADED OR NOT), BUT WILL OCCASSIONALLY PULL LEFT. DRIVER IS NEVER SURE WHICH DIRECTION TRUCK WILL PULL. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE NUMEROUS "REPAIRS" TO THE STEERING, SUSPENSION, AND BRAKES; INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STEERING GEAR BOX, BALL JOINTS, CALIPERS, SUSPENSION ARMS, ALIGNMENT, TIRE PRESSURE, TIRE ROTATION, TIRE SIZE. DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER HAS STATED THESE TRUCKS HAVE "VERY SENSITIVE SUSPENSIONS" AND THE PULLING IS "NORMAL". THIS IS A 3/4 TON 4-WHEEL DRIVE WORK TRUCK AND IT HAS A "SENSITIVE SUSPENSION"? *AK

#717568 | January 19, 2000

THIS IS MY SECOND TRUCK FROM DODGE. THE FIRST TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE STEERING BOX 4-5 TIMES AND TRIED MANY OTHER THINGS LIKE ALIGNMENT, TIRE PRESSURE, TIRE ROTATION ETC, TO TRY TO CORRECT A SEVERE WONDERING PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THIS. CHRYSLER OFFERED ME A NEW TRUCK TO REPLACE THIS ONE AND I RELUCTANTLY AGREED. I FINALLY TOOK DELIVERY AFTER NUMEROUS PAPERWORK PROBLEMS AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ALONG WITH SEVERAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FRONT END AND THEY TRIED FRONT END ALIGNMENTS, TIRE ROTATIONS, MORE TOW ON THE FRONT END, NEW STEERING BOXES, REPLACED THE BRAKES & TURNED THE ROTORS AT 8,000 MILES, REPAINTED ABOUT HALF THE TRUCK ETC. WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE I TOLD THE SALESPERSON (JOE ZAPPIA) AT WILSONS THAT THERE WAS A FRONT END...
