2006 DODGE RAM 3500 Complaints

EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE WHOLE FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS LOOSE. I COULD HARDLY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER TEST DROVE IT THE SEVERAL TIMES I TOOK IT THERE, BUT THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING. I TRIED TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE IT WAS A HAZARD. FINALLY WE GOT A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, AFTER I CALLED CHRYSLER FOR SOME HELP, WHICH THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALER, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY NEVER GOT ANY NOTICE. I HAVE A LOT OF RECEIPTS OF ALL THE PARTS I BOUGHT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT STILL ISN'T RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 10 YEARS AND LOVE IT, BUT AM REALLY GETTING TIRED OF FIXING IT. ALSO THE COMPUTER HAS NEVER SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION CORRECTLY, BUT AGAIN THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. I SURE HOPE YOU CAN BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK, OR FIX EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED TO GET FIXED FOR YEARS ON END.
