I noticed the vehicle was pulling to the right as if one of the calipers was hanging up (according to my husband who is mechanically inclined) took it to a the dealer where I purchased it. We had the techs check it but claimed the alignment was fine. Upon taking it for a routine oil change again had them check it because it was still not right (7500 miles) as far as I was concerned my husband had 2 techs disagreeing with each other about it pulling or not and rotated the tires several times then claimed it was one of the tires. We then purchased a new tire (NOT from the dealer) but the problem persists. Took it to a 2nd Dodge Dealer in hopes they would find the problem and again was told they had placed it on the rack and the alignment was fine. 30 days later I take it to a 3rd Dodge Dealer because the ABS light was staying on had them check the front end yet again and NOW this dealer claims the vehicle needs a tire rotation and an alignment ($150) which of course by this time is no longer covered by the warranty! Prior to this vehicle we had a 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab, 2000 Dodge Durango which had transmission issues after only 200 miles and was in the shop for over 2 weeks, and a 1995 Dodge Caravan that was in the dealer 3x in less then 4 mos after buying it replacing 3 fuel pumps & ultimately the gas tank. This vehicle died on the way to my fathers funeral in 1995 in a snow blizzard .... I WILL NEVER buy a Dodge vehicle again! will run this 2005 into the ground unless I can sell it off before then without losing alot of money. The ONLY reason we purchased Dodges because my husband is a Mopar man but after all these issues I have had enough Dodge issues to last me a lifetime! I have a 3 yr old child and don't feel safe in this vehicle with these front end issues. I spoke to the warranty company and well this just blew me off as this being nothing but a "maintenance issue" such as an "oil change" as a representative from the corporate office said.
