| Description of the problem | I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 truck. Within 8 months of purchasing this truck the trucks brake rotors warped, causing the truck to shake violently upon pressing the brakes. Dodge has yet to issue any sort of recall and i have read thousands,upon thousands of other owners have the same issue. There are times when i drive my car where i have to struggle just to keep the car in control when i brake. Something needs to be done about this.*ak |
