TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO JERK FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING BOX, THE POWER STEERING PUMP, THE LONG ARM, THE SHORT ARM, AND THE PITMAN ARMS, AND THE STABILIZER SHOCKS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

I RECEIVED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG AND STEERING LINKAGE REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL FIXES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH PARTS SO THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS LATER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL ON THE STEERING LINKAGE. THEY STATED MY TRUCK HAD THE "OLD DODGE PART" SO THAT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS PART IF FAILS WILL CAUSE ME TO HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD A CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE STEERING PART ON MY TRUCK AND HE STATED IT WAS SO BAD HE WOULD BE SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING PART IS BAD TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS DODGE IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WHY WOULD I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE?

PURCHASED VAN FROM DEALER. WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY, FRONT BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL RATHER LOUDLY. THIS CONTINUED AND GOT LOUDER....THE VAN SOUNDED LIKE A SCHOOL BUS. I TOOK THE VAN OVER TO THE DEALER BECAUSE NOW THERE WAS A LOT OF BRAKE DUST ON THE FRONT TIRE RIMS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND I COULDN'T BE HELPED WITH THE ISSUE. MY BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN QUICKLY AND SQUEAL LOUDLY. THERE IS SO MUCH BRAKE DUST THAT MY RIMS LOOK BLACK IF NOT WASHED. I FEEL THAT DODGE/CRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS FREE OF CHARGE AND CHECK MY ROTORS FOR WEAR AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY ALSO FREE OF CHARGE SINCE THIS IS A STANDING ISSUE. IF MY BRAKES FAIL, THIS MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ALSO, IT IS RATHER EMBARRASSING TO DRIVE A NEW VAN THAT DODGE IS TRYING TO PROMOTE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS.
