POWER TRAIN
RE-CALL (P77) REAR AXLE /PINION PRIOR TO MY VEHICLE BEING SERVED FOR THIS RE-CALL IT RAN WELL BUT SOON AFTER THE RE-CALL WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED THERE WAS A HESITATION ON ACCELERATION ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ON THE INTERSTATE. MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS A HEMI AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY DELAY TO REACH THE MARKED SPEED AND MERGE WITH THE TRAFFIC. AFTER THE REPAIR ON THE RE-CALL MY TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO THE GEAR; IT WOULD HAVE A NOTICEABLE JERK IN ORDER TO GET TO THE SPEED NEEDED TO FLOW INTO THE TRAFFIC. AND I NOW MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT; THERE IS FLUID IN THE CONTAINER AND NO LEAKING I THE DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE RE-EXAM THERE WORK ON THE RE-CALL THEY PERFORMED AND THE DEALERSHIP STARTED TO CHARGE ME $99. TO EXAM MY COMPLAINTS. I THOUGHT THAT RE-CALL WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE AN EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. THE DEALERSHIP DEFINITELY TREATED ME DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR "PAYING" CUSTOMER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS RE-CALL.

STEERING
WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN, THE TIE ROD SEPARATED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I WAS TRAVELLING 35 MPH DOWN A WINDY ROAD. THE BALL BEARING THAT HOLDS THEM TOGETHER FAILED. AS I UNDERSTAND, THIS WAS THE SUBJECT OF NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 13V-528. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY COVERS THE RIGHT LEFT SIDE OF HE VEHICLE. ITS RIDICULOUS THAT IT DOES NOT COVER THE OTHER SIDE, AS THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED. MY TRUCK HAS 136,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A DANGER AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE. I WILL BE ABLE TO UPLOAD A PHOTO TOMORROW OF THE DAMAGE.
