SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN PULLING TO EITHER THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT WHEN STOPPING. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IS ALWAYS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR WHEN LOADED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE PADS THREE TIMES, ROTERS TWICE AND HAVE ALIGNED THE REAR WHEELS, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE THE SAME. THE BRAKES ARE SLUGGISH AND WHEN STOPPING QUICKLY CAUSES SEVERE PULLING AND SEEMS TO NOT STOP AS QUICKLY AS COULD BE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE TRUCK PULLS LEFT WHEN BRAKING. WHEN LOADED OR TOWING A TRAILER YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL OR YOU WILL BE IN THE DITCH OR WORSE YET PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AT CHRYSLERS REQUEST FOR A TOTAL OF 6 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND 28 DAYS IN THE SHOP. THE LAST VISIT WAS FOR 8 DAYS AND INCLUDED LEAVING MY TRUCK AND TRAILER YET THE TRUCK STILL ISN'T REPAIRED. THE CHRYSLER REP HAS PLACED THE BLAME ON MY TRAILER AND CALLED MY PROBLEM A QUESTIONABLE REPAIR BECAUSE I'M TOWING A TRAILER WITH MY TRUCK. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED!!

#733386October 4, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
TRANSFER CASE WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. NO REASONING WAS GIVEN FOR CAUSE OF FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED AFTER GETTING A NEW 2000 DOLLAR TRANSFER CASE THAT THE PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN IF THE CAUSE IS STILL OUT THERE AND NOT FIXED. MAYBE THE CAUSE WAS A WEAK PART IN THE CASE ITSELF. EITHER WAY, TRANSFER CASES USUALLY DO NOT GO OUT WITH SO FEW MILES ON THEM AND I DO NOT EVEN DRIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS LET ALONE GO FOUR WHEELING WITH IT SO TOUGH DRIVING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. I ALSO QUESTION WHY A NEW TRANSFER CASE FOR MY TRUCK HAS TAKEN FOUR WEEKS NOW TO GET. ARE THAT MANY GOING OUT THAT THE MANUFACURER CAN NOT KEEP UP? I AM WONDERING IF THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES OR IF THIS WAS JUST A FLUKE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
