No crash involved. . . Yet. Vehicle drifts to the right all the time & suddenly pulls hard right at random times. Antilock brakes have never worked.

The truck pulls left when braking. When loaded or towing a trailer you have to have both hands on the wheel or you will be in the ditch or worse yet pulled into oncoming traffic. I have had the truck to 3 different dealers at chryslers request for a total of 6 repair attempts and 28 days in the shop. The last visit was for 8 days and included leaving my truck and trailer yet the truck still isn't repaired. The Chrysler rep has placed the blame on my trailer and called my problem a questionable repair because I'm towing a trailer with my truck. Worst customer service I've ever encountered!!.

It has been at the dealer for almost thirty days now and the dealer has given up. It is unsafe to drive so I am making payments on a truck I can't use. Chysler hasn't contacted the dealer to try to rectify the situation, they say it will be another week.

While driving at a speed of 35 mph and applying the brakes vehicle dives off the left, barely missing other vehicles. The higher the speed the worst this problem gets.
Brakes have been poor since purchase. They have been in for repair approximately 12 times. They pull to the left or right, intermittently and inconsitantly. Dealer has been unable and unwilling to repair and Dodge has refused to get involved. I tow horses and never know what is going to happen when I step on the breaks. This truck is not safe.
While driving at county speed limit applied brakes and vehicle skidded instead of coming to a stop. Mechanic stated there was a malfunction within abs brake system.
Vehicle exhibited severe front end problem 2 weeks from purchase. The truck severly pulls to the left upon braking and the front end shakes making the vehicle hard to control. 8+ attempts have made to repair the problem but it stil persists. Daimler Chrysler will not help in this situation even after being contacted by attorneys, better business bureau and consumer affairs. This vehicle is very dangerous and I fear for my husband and his passangers lives. We are fincancing this vehicle and only ask them to break the contract, return our deposit and take the vehicle off the road.
