Clear coat on paint is flaking off of truck on the hood, top of cab, top of tailgate and bed of truck. This has been explained to me that the result of this is because Dodge did not allow the paint to dry before continuing assembly.
Air bags did not deploy in front end collision.
Engine--check engine light came on and stays on.
Intrument cluster--speedometer, gas tank gauge.
Problem only occurs when driving freeway speeds over bumps or holes in the road. The truck comes down and pulls to the right then compensates by pulling to the left. I feel this is a hazard due to sometimes it is so severe I feel like my truck will end up in another lane. I have taken it to Dodge in oakland, CA. Three times and they have looked at the front and rear suspension, stabilizing bar, shocks, and tell me this is the best my truck is going to get. I have made a complaint to the corp office and I am suposed to hear from the regional manager for a test drive with him. I am afraid that I won't be able to reproduce the problem since it does not happen on all bumps or holes in the road. I also feel this is a hazard since I never know when it will react to a road surface. I have many people who tell me this is not normal behavior of a new truck on a highway.
