Description of the problem | Purchased 2017 model ram 4wdtruck on 20 jan 17. On 21 jan 17 noticed grease stream marks on right front tire. Drove another 420 miles on highway. Noticed heavier grease stream marks on same tire, with spray-on to the front right rear inner fender. Drove another 420 highway miles. Upon inspection of the backside of said tire i noticed black grease leaking from the inner hub. On 06 feb 17 dealer inspected said hub. First told me " you picked up some dirt from the road"? Then to my surprise, dealer's chief mechanic said that not only the front right bearing is leaking, but also the front left bearing is leaking. Service manger first told me "there is nothing we can do" upon threatening with legal action, dealer eventually ordered parts to fix problem. |
