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"? *AK

BRAKES WERE APPLIED AFTER A STUCK THROTTLE DUE TO MATS. WHEN APPLIED NO VACUUM POWER AVAILABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UNDER FULL MANUAL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATING. KEY OFF PREVENTED ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. A TEST FOUND THAT UNDER FULL THROTTLE NO VACUUM IS AVAILABLE FOR BRAKING. ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL AND CORRECT OTHERWISE. WILL NOT STOP IF THROTTLE IS ENGAGED FULL, PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION OF BRAKES. TIRED OF LOSING MONEY TAKING VEHICLES TO AND FROM DEALERS. I'LL HAVE TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SUCH TIME AS I CAN GET IT LOOKED INTO. ADVISE TESTING OF VACUUM ASSISTED BRAKES IN THE FUTURE BY APPLYING FULL THROTTLE AND THEN, FULL BRAKES. IN THIS CASE THERE IS NO VACUUM AVAILABLE. SCARY!!!*AK

STEERING HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PLAY WHEN IN CENTER POSITION. THE TRUCK DRIFTS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT MAKING IT HARD AND LABORIOUS TO CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER MOTORS HAVE HAD MANY CHANCES TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT INSTEAD PASS THE PROBLEM BACK TO ME FOR RESOLUTION. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VNW81XL060 TIRESIZE: 265/75R16)
