SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE VEHICLE MAKES RIGHT TURNS UPON BRAKING, AT ANY SPEED. OF COURSE THE FASTER THE SPEED THE MORE DANGEROUS THE PROBLEM, ESP. IF YOU ARE ALSO MAKING A RIGHT TURN OR THERE ARE ANY IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD SUCH AS DIRT, GRAVEL, BUMPS, OR HOLES, AT WHICH THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS, SOMETIMES COMPLETLY FROM YOUR HAND, WHIH WAS EXPERIENCED BUY THE TECH. DODGE ASKED TO TEST DRIVE W/ ME. I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS UNABLE , ( DOES NOT KNOW HOW ) TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WILL PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND WHEN THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT AND TO ENGINE NOISE THEY WILL CALL ME. I ASKED THEM TO PUT IN WRITING MY TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE ( KNOWING IT ISN'T) THEY REFUSED BUT AGAIN SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WE WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD FIX IT 5 TIMES IN THE SHOP NOW THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T, AND WILL NOT TALK THE TRUCK BACK, I'M OUT 26,000.00$ AND I NEED A TRUCK FOR MY BUSINESS. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED OR REPLACED, OR THEM TO PURCHASE IT BACK SO THAT I MAY PURCHASE YET ANOTHER TRUCK. *AK
