TRANSMISSION FAILED. PAID $2500.00 TO HAVE REPAIR . AND IS STILL HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES...

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I CRASHED INTO A DUMP TRUCK AND MY CAR WAS PRETTY MUCH TOTALLED THE ACCIDENT WAS HORRIBLE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOYED. I CONSTANTLY SUFFER BACK PAIN AND ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD BY THE HOSPITAL TO GET THE TREATMENT I LOST MY JOB DUE TO THE PAIN I GET PLUS I DID NOT HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION. AND NOW I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AIR BAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED HARDER TO STABILIZE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 74 JUST WEST OF GOODFIELD, ILLINOIS ON 7-25-15, I SPED UP TO ABOUT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING AND FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT SHOOK UNTIL I LOWERED THE SPEED DOWN UNDER 50 MPH AND CONTINUED ON FOR ABOUT 7-8 MILES. WHEN RETURNING I DIDN'T GET BACK UP TO 60 MPH. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT AS GREAT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2013.

THE TRUCK HAS HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END, ASSEMBLY ON RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY THE SHOP AND STILL NOT ABLE TO PERFORM CORRECTLY. FIRESTONE INVESTIGATED THE TRUCK AFTER IT WAS FIXED WITH ME TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO GET RE-FIXED. NOW AFTER IT HAS BEEN FIXED AGAIN, THE AXLE AREA IS STILL POPPING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FIXED OR NOT. I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MY MONEY ON IT. I WANT TO BLAME THE SHOP BUT I THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURER ERROR. ALSO, WITH THESE FRONT END ISSUES. THE FRONT END HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30-35--NO DIP WARNING AND LOCKED UP THE FRONT END. I SPENT NEARLY $1000 REPLACING BRAKES, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS. NOT TO MENTION THE 300-500 REPLACING FRONT END PARTS ON THIS TRUCK. UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN MY TRUCK CRUISING ALONG AT ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED WOBBLING VERY HORRIBLY. SO, I STOPPED IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT THAT WAS OUT BY THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED A FEW PEOPLE AND TRIED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE RF WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HOT BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. IF I GOT ABOVE 50 MPH THE WOBBLE GOT BAD BUT IF I KEPT IT AROUND 45MPH, IT WAS NOT AS BAD AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOBODY COULD SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. WE TRIED CHANGING THE BRAKES ON IT FROM THE CALIPER DOWN TO THE BRAKE PADS BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T HARDLY DRIVE IT NOW DUE TO NOT KNOWING IF IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND WHEN SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME.
