| Description of the problem | Bought 2006 dodge ram 1500 new from metro dodge in ottawa. Have had numerous front end troubles. Brakes,3sets of front shocks,wheel bearings,outer tie rod ends replaced once at 22000km`s. Tie rod ends on streeing are defective again. Dodge wants to inspect & charge for outer rie rod ends after 42000kms on second set. Checking used 2006,2007 & 2008 in dodge dealer lots outer tie rods have been replaced on trucks in lot. I feel dodge is covering up a defective design & part troubles on all 3 years. Metro dodge told me to never bring my truck back for service. The service manager denies that these years of trucks have defective front end parts & design. Please investigate before a major collision with this vehicle. Thank you, steve moore |
