STEERING
I HAVE AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM WITH MY NEW BODY STYLE 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. IT PULLS RIGHT DANGEROUSLY, AND PUTS EVERYONE ON THE ROAD AT RISK. I HAVE HAD INDEPENDENT ALIGNMENT SHOPS VERIFY AND CHECK MY ALIGNMENT, AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEM BUT IDENTIFY THE SYMPTOMS. DODGE IS NOT BEING VERY HELPFUL IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE LOCAL REPS ARE WAITING FOR THE REGIONAL REPS AND SO ON, I GET TOLD TO SIT TIGHT, WHILE NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE AN APPT ON 5/6 FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I BOUGHT A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB AND JUST RETURNED HOME FROM BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. I HAD ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE SHAKING THAT I EXPERIENCED DURING BRAKING. THEY INFORMED ME ALL FOUR ROTORS ARE WARPED AND THE SURFACE COULD NOT BE CUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BECOME TOO THIN. AT THIS POINT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO SPEND $800.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE ROTORS THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.*JB
