This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The steering has excessive play, and feels uncontrolable.I took it in to the dealer & they said there was nothing wrong. I then drove it for a short time & felt there was still a problem. I took it in again, & they replaced the steering gear box. Upon picking up the truck, I found it to be no better than it was prior to the gear box replacement. I contacted the dealer the next day, & they came to my residence & picked up the truck. The service manager told me that they checked it out, & it was ok. He also stated that he called the Chrysler "star" line for tech support, & they advised him that all the trucks handled this way. I was not satisfied with that reply, & contacted Chrysler's customer service dept on 4-12-99 & filed a complaint( # 5680042). I did not get any response after 2 weeks, and I again called Chrysler on 4-26-99. At that time arrangements were made to have the district service rep look at the truck. On 5-5-99 the district service rep(reggie sanders ) drove my truck & advised me that it handled "normal" for that vehicle. I find this unacceptable, and feel that the handling of this vehicle is unsafe, & could cause loss of control. This truck was purchased for the purpose of towing a trailer, (it has a factory installed tow package) and I feel I can not safley do this.this condition is present with & without a trailer. At this point I am contacting you for help with this matter.
