| Description of the problem | I now having problems with rear end for the 4th time since i got this truck. I paid to have repaired first time. 3 months later it went again. Dodge dealer gave hard time but they found it defective again. Fixed. Only a year and 1/2 later it is going again. I only put 18000 miles on this last one. I need to know what can be done to fix the rear in my ram truck. It is too expensive to pay out of my pocket. 4 times? Never had that with a ford. Problem is i need the truck and fixed income and can't pay dealers to keep fixing the rear. Help. I need to know if there is anything i can do about this problem as it goes back to shop on july 31. The dodge people say i am out of any warranty. I can't afford a new truck either. The dates listed is close to when this last issue started. It does not reflect back when the others first started but about 2 or 3 years now since first rear went. |
