| Description of the problem | Purchased dodge ran 2500 2004 4wd hemi new in january of 2004 and found a vibration in drive train and coming through the steering wheel and see the vibration through the rear view mirror as distortion. I have unsuccesfully have got a fix from my dealership after repeated attempts to have them fix the problem. The problem is getting worse. I do not like having a vibration like this at 60 + miles per hour. This is a hazard. Put the truck into 4wd and the whole front end shakes when turning the wheels and hard to get back into 2 wd from low 4wd. The cadaletic converter went out at 900 miles. The trouble with vibration is still ongoing at this date 10/13/04.*ak |
