| Description of the problem | I have had to replace numorous front end suspension and steering components,3 steering gear boxes,all front end steering parts,pitman arm, all steering components twice and both left and right axle shaft ujoints 7 times total and i have to do them again. The entire steering needs to be replaced again and i am seriously thinking of selling truck do to it is a money pit since day 1 when i purchased it brand new from brookfield motors. This truck is the 4th doge i purchased new and i am loosing faith in dodge. My truck is all stock,no modifications and have been told by dealers that my truck was an early production model,so i ended up with all junk /trial parts. I know there is a updated gear box which i cannot afford and upgrades to all other components i cannot afford. Please if you can help me out in any way,it would be appreciated. I cannot take a risk of even selling this vehicle because it is just not safe. I have been stranded on the roads 3 times due to steering issues and other times i caught it before getting towed. The front end is garbage,please help in any way possible. I have reciepts but can not send them on computer due to i am not computer savy |
