| Description of the problem | My 2006 dodge ram 2500 had bad tie rods, track bar and steering damper with less than 36000 miles on it. At the point it became apparent, the truck became very unstable and hard to keep on the road. I took it to modica brothers in my town to have it fixed because any dealerships were at least an hour from me and i felt i needed my vehicle fixed as soon as possible. After getting the truck repaired it was brought to my attention that the truck was still covered under warranty. I have contacted dodge concerning this and was denied coverage because i did not have the truck towed and go to a dodge dealership to have the truck repaired. |
