| Description of the problem | There is a (tsb 02-001-07 rev. A) that calls out a shudder, braking, shimmer... Blah blah blah... On level ground and certain speeds. My issue is not on level ground, my problem exist on decline of 7% when the brake is applied very slightly the front brakes or front suspension shudders, and shakes so violently that the entire truck and the steering wheel is out of control, if you grab to tight on the steering wheel you may over correct your steering and eventually could cause you to overturn your vehicle. There is no excuse for this, i have had my rotors changed, brakes changed, tires balanced, and rotated but the problem still exists. I am telling you that this is a very dangerous situation for anyone to be in. I would love to take the owner of the dodge co. And his family for a ride. I will almost guarantee that something would get done about this issue. Rotors should last for more than 6 months, but the truck is violently out of control and too dangerous for me to allow my wife or other family members to drive this vehicle until it is fixed or i sell it. Once i sell it i will not purchase another dodge product again, i am tired of wasting my time and money on this issue. I am tired of the dealerships giving me the run around and oh it;s your rotor are quote "warped" un-quote is how it is documented on my paperwork.. |
