SINCE MY PURCHASE IN AUGUST OF 2002, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH MY DODGE QUAD CAB. SO FAR I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE DIVIDER ON THE FREEWAY AND A CAR HEAD ON AT THE TOP OF A HILL. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER CLOSE CALLS, BUT I HAD TO STOP COUNTING. I AM HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR SUSPENSION ON MY DODGE. I HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE, SHOCKS REPLACED, AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT GETTING IT REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING COMPLAINTS MENTIONED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT MUST BE NORMAL AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BEFORE MY SHOCKS FINALLY GOT REPLACED, I WAS AT THE POINT OF FINDING A LAWYER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I ENDED UP DEAD ON THE ROAD....
AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH THE REAREND OF MY TRUCK HOPS EXCESSIVELY AND CAUSES THE REAR TO SWAY TO THE RIGHT WHEN DRIVING OVER AVERAGE ROAD SURFACES WITH MINOR BUMPS OR IRREGULARITIES IN THE SURFACE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND AM VERY CONCERNED TO LEARN THAT OTHER 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *JB
REAR END OF TRUCK MOVES OVER AND MAKES TRUCK UNCONTROLABLE. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS FROM 35 MPH AND UP. ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH, THE REAR END JUMPS UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY ON THE HIGHWAYS. MANY TIMES I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 55 OR 60 TO GET IT BACK IN COMTROL. I FEAR AN ACCIDENT IS VERY POSSIBLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE TRUCK. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS JUST A TRUCK AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THIS IS MY 5TH TRUCK TO OWN, AND IT IS THE FIRST ONE TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS. *AK
