| Description of the problem | Have had numerous problems with tires. Separating on 3 tires out of set of 4. The next 4 tires developed bubbles and had to be replaced as well. Truck bounces down the road. Speed doesnt seem to be a factor but more obvious at higher speeds. Truck has stalled on me numerous times crossing railroad tracks which are very close to my house. I finally got the nut recall after numerous calls to dealer. I was told no parts. Finally it was done 2 weeks ago. While there i inquired about the airbag recall. I was told they werent aware of it, than they said we have to order parts . I was hoping the nut recall would solve the bounce issue it has not. I am afraid yet another set of tires will be yet a waste of more money i dont have, and still scared of what may happen when what is causing the bounce finally breaks. This is a 2005 dodge 1500 quad cab 2 wheel drive vehicle i bought new. It replaced a dodge sport quad cab 4x4 which was stolen, also bought new in 1998. I never bounced in my 4x4 which i would think would be a rougher ride. Brakes are also a issue. Front brakes to be exact. They go through them quick. At least 5 sets, some with rotors on a vehicle which just turned 80,000 miles. These are the heavy duty ones as well. I was hoping they would get better milage. Doesnt seem to matter. |
