| Description of the problem | I own a 2002 dodge 1500 4x4 quad cab pickup & the front doors gasket seals are leaking at higher speeds. It get so bad that the door start to shake at the hinge side of door. I spoke with dodge about this; i was told this is not the only unit doing this, that it was a simple fix of re-bending the hinges at a body shop. They explained that if this was reported in the frist 12 months or 12,000 miles it would have been covered under warrianty. The truck has 28,040 miles on it now still under the 30,000 mile warrianty. I beleive this to be a problem inherit to the truck design.*ak |
