| Description of the problem | Re-call (p77) rear axle /pinion prior to my vehicle being served for this re-call it ran well but soon after the re-call was repaired i noticed there was a hesitation on acceleration especially noticeable on the interstate. My dodge ram 1500 has a hemi and there were no problems entering the interstate without any delay to reach the marked speed and merge with the traffic. After the repair on the re-call my truck would not go into a smooth transition into the gear; it would have a noticeable jerk in order to get to the speed needed to flow into the traffic. And i now my power steering has gone out; there is fluid in the container and no leaking i the driveway. I took the vehicle in the re-exam there work on the re-call they performed and the dealership started to charge me $99. To exam my complaints. I thought that re-call were not suppose to be an expense to the consumer. The dealership definitely treated me different from a regular "paying" customer. Very disappointed with this re-call. |
