Description of the problem | A week after purchasing this vehicle, my wife complained about the steering not feeling right. As i continue to use the vehicle i notice some vibration on the steering wheel, but didnÿ¢ÿ¿ÿ¿t think much of it being a problem because this is our first pickup truck and the stereotype is all pickup trucks ride ruff. Now some time have past and a few thousand miles later the steering vibration is getting worse and now iÿ¢ÿ¿ÿ¿m starting to suspect something is wrong. As i went underneath the vehicle to check the front suspension i notice the new tires which came with the vehicle when purchase was completely worn on the inside threads after 8k miles. I did some research on the net to find out that a lot of users of this vehicle are experiencing whatÿ¢ÿ¿ÿ¿s known as the (depth wobble). I first called dodge mfg. And complained about this issue and they inform me that this is an ongoing issue. They told me to bring to a dealer and gave me a case #. I brought the vehicle back to the dealer where it was purchased. All they did was a wheel alignment which they charge me and said they wouldnÿ¢ÿ¿ÿ¿t replace the tires. Well this vehicle is still doing the same thing! Only 40k miles on this vehicle and we really are not happy campers! |
