| Description of the problem | Bought 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt june 2006 100 miles on it on way home brakes pulled sharpley. Glendale,ca dodge replaced brake rotors, pads, & calipers@500 miles, due to leaking... Front end has been messed up since... Vibrates at various speeds, so badly at times feels like front end is going to shake off... Front right tire feels like it's warped at times, pulsing in brake pedal when braking, not always, have taken it in to dealer various times they claim nothing wrong... Dealer replaced drive shaft last visit, 07/2007, with 20,000 miles... No change.... Additionally, transmission feels like it's slipping at times and at 60 mph, on level road, transmission feels like it's in to high of a gear, if i was driving a manuel i'd shift down at least 1 gear, at times the vehicle shakes with acceleration, the dealer states, you guessed it, there's no problem.. I do not even like driving the truck on the fwy... Finally, truck jumps whenever you hit a bump, suspension feels loose, like the shocks are blown, any uneven surface makes the truck unstable.. To say i am frustrated is an understatement!!! The incident dates are various i have been dealing with this for a year!!*jb |
