Vehcile wanders left to right on dry road. front end vibrates intermitently. consumer has been waiting for the district representative to call but no contact.*ak engine valve failed five times. steering failed three times. rear oil seal is leaking. *yh
The engine pings in normal operation at speeds from approximately 30 to 70+ miles per hour after the engine warms-up. the dealer, dispite repeated attempts, has not been able to resolve the problem which, in my estimation is a safety issue as the dealer can not (or will not perhaps) say that the problem will not lead to failure of the engine or some significant component. the dealer advises that they have contacted daimlerchrysler corporation and have not been able to get advise that will resolve the problem.
I have had three things wrong with this truck. all have been because the factory did not put the parts togeter right in the first time.i have the truck in the shop for the noises, if it is not fixed to the standards of a new 1999 truck, i will like a different truck. if this is not possible, i will sell this and never buy from dodge again!!!
While traveling at various speeds vehicle would shut down for no reason. would have no warning. had been to dealer numerous times for problem, but mechanic was unable to find the problem or duplicate it. *ak
Headlights are unstable, causing poor visibility, consumer also having problem with engine valves knocking. consumer has contacted the dealer. please provide any further details.*ak
