| Description of the problem | Dodge ram laramie1500 4x4 crew cab built in june 2012 has factory 20x9 aluminum chrome clad wheels with goodyear wrangler hp p275/60r20 tires. Problem with this is the spare tire & the factory jack. Had a rear passenger side tire blow out and had to jack the truck to fix the flat. First, the spare tire size is p235/85r17, my wheels are 20" rims and 1-1/4 higher over all. This truck has the electronic stability control (esc) which states to have the proper size rims & tires as this system may not function properly if they are different sizes. Secondly, the jack dodge provides can't hold the weight of these trucks. This jack collapsed soon after raising the flat truck tire 1-2" off the ground, the worm gear looks like a u-bolt. Called both the dealer i purchased the truck from in december 2012 and dodge. Neither is willing to help remedy these problems. Dodge did have a recall 12v192000 jan 5th 6th 2012 for the spare tire not being sized correctly. Is this not the same case? |
