| Description of the problem | 2004 ram 1500 hemi sport qc had terrible shimmy in front end upon stopping and truck was hard to control. Dealer stated rotors were warped and turned them. This was at 9500 miles. Again at 15000 miles truck is doing same thing. Dealer said they would turn them again but that was all. Said they could turn them as many times as they wanted. Said they turned them but the wheels haven't been removed from truck. Dealer or dodge unwilling to fix problem even though both admit there is a problem. Back rotor is warped and has bad groves in it. Feel i am getting bum deal on 36000 dollar truck. |
