Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,211 miles
I own a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500. I noticed the vehicle was pulling to the right and brought the vehicle in for an alignment. I was notified my tires were unusable and that the front trac/sway bar was defective. The mechanic told me there is a design flaw in the trac bar on that vehicle and it is a common problem. I should not have to replace a sway bar and tires on a vehicle with only 28,000 miles on it. Dodge should put out an immediate recall on the sway bar as people will have quickly deteriorating tires that could cause a lot of accidents.
