Description of the problem | I bought a new 2014 dodge ram 2500 (diesel) in june 2014. After a short time of having my vehicle, i noticed it leaned to the left side. I measured the wheelbase of my vehicle and found the right side was one inch higher than the left side. When looking at my vehicle on level ground, it appears there is a flat tire when if fact there is not. I checked the tire pressure to ensure it was even on all tires and it was. I reported the problem to dch jeep dodge chrysler of temecula where i bought the vehicle. They inspected the vehicle and stated the vehicle does in fact lean, but it only leans 3/4 of an inch on the left side and it fell within their guidelines of a max lean of 3/4. I told them it was not 3/4 of an inch and was one inch. Frustrated with this dealership, i took my vehicle to another dealership who inspected the vehicle and they confirmed my vehicle leans on the left side one inch. Dodge will not fix this problem for me or explain to me the reason my vehicle leans. My vehicle does not appear safe to drive nor do i feel safe driving it with my family because it leans so much and it seems as if my vehicle will crash. |
