I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK INTO THE DEALER 6-7 TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT ON ALL HIGHWAYS. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE FOR A LONG DISTANCE. THEY HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TSB BUT TO NO HELP. THEY SAY MUST BE THE ROADS, NO WAY, I DRIVEN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL ROADS, DOESN'T MAKE AND DIFFERENCE. *AK

WHEN DRIVING 55MPH ON FREEWAY TRUCK VIBRATES SO BADLY YOU GET A HEADACHE. TWO DIFFERENT DEALER'S SERVICE DEPTS. SAY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH 99'S AND THERE IS NO FIX. AN OUTSIDE EXPERT GOT HEADACHE, AND SAID TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEABLE. APPARENTLY, 1 IN 5 CUSTOMERS CAME BACK WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERS JUST TOLD THEM THATS THE WAY IT IS. DO A TEST ON CONCRETE FREEWAY ON THESE TRUCKS AND YOU'LL SEE FOR YOURSELF. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER IS NOT ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT A RECALL. THE PEOPLE WHO DO COME BACK AND COMPLAIN, THE DEALER SEND A GUY TO DRIVE WITH THE CUSTOMER TO CONVINCE THEM THAT IT IS NORMAL AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. I KNOW ALL THIS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC (25 YEARS) AND HE KNOWS A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AT CHRYSLER. *AK
