Noticed a rubbing noise in the front end 3 months after buying the car in July of 2005, had First Team Dodge in Chesapeake VA look into it in Dec of 05 when serviced, found nothing. Problem got worse, had the service center look into it in April when vehicle was serviced again, NOTHING FOUND. July 2006: New tires in the front, aligned and problematic sound looked into... nothing found. Long story short, the problem was getting worse, and nobody was able to figure out what it was. I went to a Dodge dealership in my hometown and had them look at it, they found it! The inner tie rods were shot at 50K! If the warranty I purchased would not have covered it, I'd be out over $1000. Thank God somebody still does their job at a few of the Dodge dealerships.
