Description of the problem | I purchased a 2013 dodge dart sxt multiair turbo 6-speed manual on 11/23/2013 and within a week, i took the car back for service being that the wheel was off-centered to the left and the service department aligned all four wheels. Shortly after that, i began to notice that the steering wheel would stick when i tried to turn as if it had locked while driving straight then unlock when engaged in turning. Also, i noticed that while driving along in 6th gear around 65-70 mph, i would hear a thumping or something going on underneath the car like something was loose, or a flapping sound. I am going to take the car back to the dealership to see if they will do anything about it but have documented the complaint up here for my records. My car only has about 8,500 miles on it and also i see there are recalls on the side airbag, parking brake, and the powertrain. All of these recalls were placed prior to the date of purchasing my car and i will question the dealership asap to see if these things were fixed prior to the purchase of the car. I will submit further updates on this site once i see how this dealership handles this!!! |
