A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I HAVE HAD BOTH WHEEL HUBS REPLACED 2 TIMES IN 2 YEARS, ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT BREAKS OR RUST OFF. MY 1ST DODGE AND LAST DODGE I'LL EVER OWN. A REAL PIECE OF JUNK.

Ram 1500 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 112,000 miles

Both front wheel bearing hubs went out at the same time. first started to whine then rattle, then vehicle became undrivable with really bad vibrations. Had towed to a shop and they told me that if I had waited any longer the wheels could of come off and caused me to wreck.

Had to replace wheel front bearings twice in 75000 miles. the last time it cost me $300.00 to replace. Chrysler would not even replace the first set because of past warranty.

Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,479 miles

Both front wheel bearings went out at same time! While getting that repaired, the mechanic advised that one of the lower ball joints was bad, also! No warranty coverage. Out close to $1000. Don't buy a ram 1500.
