POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND SOMETIMES BACKING UP, THE TRUCK CONSTANTLY SQUEAKS. I HAD THE HUBS REPLACED RECENTLY AS THE MECHANIC SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. I DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK OR LOCK UP. I WAS AT AT LOCAL LOWE'S RECENTLY AND A WOMAN WAS BACKING HER DODGE TRUCK TO LOAD LUMBER AND IT WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISES AS MINE. *TR

CALLED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE P80 / NHTSA14V-795 RECALL REPAIRED DONE ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. SET TO DROP OFF MY VEHICLE AT 8:30 AM ON 4/1/2015 AT CHRIS NIKEL CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP (2920 N ASPEN AVE BROKEN ARROW, OK 74012 918-355-5000). I LEFT MY TRUCK WITH THEM AND I CALLED BACK THIS AFTERNOON TO CHECK THE STATUS ON IT. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED IT FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A 1 DAY PROMISE AND NOW ITS A 3-4 DAY JOB. CLASSIC WAY OF GETTING OUT FROM DOING THE JOB. I AM A SINGLE FATHER THAT CANNOT GO 4 DAYS WITHOUT MY TRUCK. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. ME AND MY KIDS SAFETY REMAINS AT RISK BECAUSE THE RECALLS DON'T PRODUCE ENOUGH REVENUE FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO REMAIN A PRIORITY. *TR

WHILE I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE RECALLS I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE MADE. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ STATE SOME HAVE PAID MECHANICS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS, IF MECHANICS CAN GET THE PARTS WHY CAN CHRYSLER NOT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
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
