problem #1

Jul 112003

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,000 miles
The consumer noticed a deep groove cut into each front tire near the inside of the rim caused by the lower a frame contacting the tire when turning. The mechanical turn stops did not reach their mark before the tire reached the a frame. The consumer found the same problem in two other Dodge of the same year. (the 2003 models had a different design) the consumer may do more hard turns around on field roads, but this may be a hidden problem waiting to blow out in low speed turns.
