Ohara motors - 5 star Dodge dealership in falmouth MA. Cannot fix my defective 03 hemi ram. Truck was bought new from them last year, and has been back to the dealership twice for the sme 2 problems - and each time I have had to take the truck back with the problem not being fixed. Truck has had a ticking sound that has gotten so loud, it now sounds like a sewing machine at idle. Also, truck has a driveline vibration that has gone from subtle, to extremely and obnoxiously bad. Ohara says that Chrysler may have a solution in 90 days or so, and that I have to live with this! I want my money back, I have lost time at work, money, and lots of aggravation. I feel with a 7 yr. 70k warranty, I should not have to 'live' with this problem. Please help me!.
Problems with defective brakes on a 2003 Dodge ram. The brakes would self engage while the vehicle was in motion, nearly causing accidents, the a/c was always inoperative blowing out hot air, the a/c compressor made a clunking noise when engaged, the vehicle had been back to the dealer for major engine repairs, a broken piston rod was found and could have been the cause for the engine knocking, there was a vibration upon acceleration.
