THE FRONT BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK FAILED TO WORK EVENLY. A SEVER PULL TO THE LEFT, RESULTING IN A NEAR JACK KNIFE SITUATION AND COLLISION WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN REPAIRING IT AND STATE THAT ONLY 5% OF THE TRUCKS IN THIS MODEL DO THAT, THEREFORE DODGE WILL NOT RECALL AND THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. DODGES ANSWER IS TO "LIVE WITH IT". THIS PROBLEM IS SIGNIFICANT AND A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. I REQUEST A REPRESENTATIVE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY ABOUT THIS SITUATION. *AK

THE VEHICLE MAKES RIGHT TURNS UPON BRAKING, AT ANY SPEED. OF COURSE THE FASTER THE SPEED THE MORE DANGEROUS THE PROBLEM, ESP. IF YOU ARE ALSO MAKING A RIGHT TURN OR THERE ARE ANY IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD SUCH AS DIRT, GRAVEL, BUMPS, OR HOLES, AT WHICH THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS, SOMETIMES COMPLETLY FROM YOUR HAND, WHIH WAS EXPERIENCED BUY THE TECH. DODGE ASKED TO TEST DRIVE W/ ME. I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS UNABLE , ( DOES NOT KNOW HOW ) TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WILL PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND WHEN THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT AND TO ENGINE NOISE THEY WILL CALL ME. I ASKED THEM TO PUT IN WRITING MY TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE ( KNOWING IT ISN'T) THEY REFUSED BUT AGAIN SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WE WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD FIX IT 5 TIMES IN THE SHOP NOW THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T, AND WILL NOT TALK THE TRUCK BACK, I'M OUT 26,000.00$ AND I NEED A TRUCK FOR MY BUSINESS. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED OR REPLACED, OR THEM TO PURCHASE IT BACK SO THAT I MAY PURCHASE YET ANOTHER TRUCK. *AK

THE BRAKES PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN APPLIED CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZZARD. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS IN A TOTAL OF SEVEN (7) TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN A SATISFACTORY REPAIR. THE DEALERS HAVE DONE STEERING ALIGNMENT AND REPLACE BRAKE PARTS ON MANY OCCAUSIONS. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS A FACTORY DESIGN DEFICIENCY WHICH IS NOT REPAIRABLE AT THE DEALER LEVEL. DODGE SHOULD BE FORCED TO REDESIGN THE FRONT BRAKE - STEERING SYSTEM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IN A NATIONWIDE RECALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME A JOKE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. THE DOT SHOULD PROCEED TO FORCE DODGE TO REDESIGN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS BRAKE PULL PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZZARD WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STEER UNEXPECTANTLY INTO OTHER TRAFFIC LANES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE DEALERS ADMIT THAT THEY CANNOT MAKE A SATISFACTORY REPAIR GIVEN THE EXISTING PARTS AVAILABLE FROM THE FACTORY. THE OTHER DEALERS HAVE BEEN: VALLEY BOULDER DODGE, 2100 30TH STREET BOULDER, CO 80301, TEL: 303-381-1184 AND PRESTIGE DODGE, 200 ALPINE STREET, LONGMONT, CO 80501, TEL: 303-651-3000. THE COLORADO "LEMON LAW" IS NOT EFFECTIVE SINCE THE AMOUNT GIVEN IS TRADE IS LESS THAT NORMAL TRADE-IN NEGOTIATIONED AMOUNTS. THE DOT SHOULD PROCEED TO RECALL ALL DODGE 1998 RAM PICKUPS. SINCERELY, KENT R. RIESKE, 5086 COTTONWOOD DRIVE, BOULDER, CO 80301. TEL: 303-530-1551. *AK
