TIRES, WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
ON 14JUN02 I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES WITH NEW ONES. AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VAN. I WAS SHOWN WHERE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTOR ,ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE, WAS TOO LARGE A DIAMETER FOR THE WHEELS. THE TIRE HAD TO BE FORCED OFF AND ON. SINCE I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED BOTH WHEELS WERE NOW WARPED. IN FORCING THE T HE WHEELS ONTO THE ROTOR, THE LUGS APPEARED TO BE DAMAGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF WEIGHTS HAD TO BE USED TO TRY TO BALANCE THE WHEELS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM AND SINCE THIS IS ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER DEFECTS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE TRUCK CONTINUOUSLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT ABOVE FIFTY (50) MILES AN HOUR. AFTER TWO SEPARATE ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE ALIGNMENT, THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR REPAIR WHERE I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR ( TRACY KRUMPLEMAN) THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS LOWERED IT WON'T BE GUARANTEED TO HOLD AN ALIGNMENT. I THEN STATED THAT THE TRUCK WAS SOLD TO ME WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SUSPENSION MODIFICATION FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT HE IS NOW WORKING FOR , AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR IGNORES THIS FACT AND RESTATES THAT THE TRUCK WON'T HOLD AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN LOWERED.*AK
