This truck is unsafe!! two weeks after purchase, steering pulled hard to the left when loaded/towing. Now truck pulls hard to the right when braking (loaded or not), but will occassionally pull left. Driver is never sure which direction truck will pull. Dealership has made numerous "repairs" to the steering, suspension, and brakes; including but not limited to steering gear box, ball joints, calipers, suspension arms, alignment, tire pressure, tire rotation, tire size. District service manager has stated these trucks have "very sensitive suspensions" and the pulling is "normal". this is a 3/4 ton 4-wheel drive work truck and it has a "sensitive suspension"?

Tires, though we haven't experienced a blow out or treads peeling off, the tires are wearing much quicker than they should. With only 12,000 mile on the vehicle, the tires look like it's been driven 50,000 miles. Mid October we called chrsyler in auburn hills, to let them know how unsafe we feel driving this truck. We have had this truck brought back to the dealer eleven times for warranty work, eight of which were for brake problems.( dot number: M32kerhx tire size: P245/75R16 )

I have been having problem with the front brakes on my Dodge truck. When you brake the truck pulls to the right. To avoid an accident, in a panic stop I had to turn the steering wheel 3/4 to the left to keep from jumping into the right lane. I've had this machine in for repairs 8 plus times. The front rotors have been replaced three times resurfaced at least 9 times. Six sets of new brake pads on the front new drums on the front. Three sets of rear drums. Two new sets of rear shoes. This machine is a hazard. I've talke to other owners about this problem and it seems I am not the only one this is happening to. I need help getting this corrected the dealer and Dodge can't seem to solve this problem.
