Ram 1500 Sport 5.2L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 114,000 miles

I bought this truck a 2 weeks ago and i first had another issue qwith it that i will be adding another complaint for but i sent it back to the dealer to ask them to fix the previous issue and look at the front end it was grinding when i slowly took off in a left turn or made a hard left sometimes a right it sounded like the cogs weren't messing to well needless to to say the dealer didnt menchin anything after returning my vehicle i thought it might have been something small he replaced. WRONG ..... i told a frien about it and he said it sounds like a U Joint we got under the truck and we were able to freely wiggle the u joint aka NOT GOOD..... the right one was fine. so i will be calling the dealer again...... hopefully ha can do his job this time ....

my truck is not the only one,iv'e heard several other dodge rams doing the same thing,newer models than mine.this problem needs to be looked into,as it is most likely a defect in the making of the product,which seems to be a problem with alot of dodges.I will also be informing other dodge owners about this site,so they can put in their complaints......
