CONTINENTAL TIRE IS THE APPARENT OWNER OF GENERAL TIRE AND CONTINENTAL IS AN OFF-SHORE COMPANY. MISERABLE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I HAD ME AND MY KIDS IN MY TRUCK AND HAD A BAD WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK WE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME ITS HAPPENED IF YOU HIT A BUMP IT WILL MACK YOUR VEHICLE SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD MULTIPLE NEW PARTS ON THE FRONT END REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES IT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR ANY DISTANCES BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR GOING TO GO IN THE DITCH OR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC BEFORE YOU CAN SLOW DOWN TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I'VE HERD THIS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE AND ON THE INTERNET SEARCH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2007 DODGE RAM 3500. THE SAME ISSUE AS WITH THE 2006 MODEL IS STILL PRESENT. THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS. LEFT WILL FLASH RIGHT. WIPERS BECOME IN-OP. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE LAST INVESTIGATION, FILE NUMBER PE08059. WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART, THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALER HAS A PROBLEM WITH KEEPING THE PART IN STOCK BUT DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE INTERMITTENT AT FIRST AND LATER BECOMES PERMANENT. IT IS HELPFUL TO OTHER DRIVERS WHEN YOU SIGNAL LEFT THAT YOUR LEFT SIGNAL ILLUMINATE AND NOT THE RIGHT. AND VISA VERSA. *TR

I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME NOW, 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO LET THEM KEEP ON REPLACING PARTS! I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR DODGE HEMI STALLING PROBLEMS AND MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LOGGED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT! "HELP" SECOND ISSUE IS IT NOW STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE TO PASS OR TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN STARTS TO RUN REAL BAD UNTIL I PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRAVELING A VERY CURVY ROAD TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. TIME TO GET TO DESTINATION WAS ABOUT 30 MINUTES. ONCE I GOT THERE, I PARKED, AND GOT OUT OF MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK. THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS SMOKING LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS SMOKING AS WELL, BUT NOT AS BAD. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D SEEN THIS PROBLEM. I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD BEEN ON THE BRAKES TOO MUCH GOING DOWN THE CURVY ROAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD MY BRAKES WERE FINE, THAT I HAD ABOUT 50% BRAKE PAD STILL LEFT ON THE REAR BRAKES. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SMOKE I HAD WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK. THEY INVESTIGATED AND CAME BACK TO TELL ME THE REAR SEALS WERE GONE ON THE TRUCK ALLOWING THE FLUID TO GET ON THE BRAKE PADS. THEY SAID THE FLUID ON THE BRAKES PADS WAS GETTING HOT AND THIS WAS CAUSING THE SMOKE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH THE REAR SEALS GONE BECAUSE IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ME TO HAVE A FIRE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME IT WAS NOT NORMAL FOR THE REAR SEALS TO FAIL LIKE THESE HAVE. THE REAR SEALS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL, THAT I COULD FIND. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $500.00 TO REPLACE THE SEALS AND THE BRAKE PADS SINCE THEY GOT WET. THIS IS UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE CAUSED BY THE REAR SEAL FAILURE. THIS FAILURE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND DODGE RECALL AND REPLACE FAULTY REAR SEALS FOR THE CONSUMERS. *TR
