Tires, though we haven't experienced a blow out or treads peeling off, the tires are wearing much quicker than they should. With only 12,000 mile on the vehicle, the tires look like it's been driven 50,000 miles. Mid October we called chrsyler in auburn hills, to let them know how unsafe we feel driving this truck. We have had this truck brought back to the dealer eleven times for warranty work, eight of which were for brake problems.( dot number: M32kerhx tire size: P245/75R16 )

Several components, transmission does not shift properly sounds like driving on small rumble strips at 45, truck wonders aimlessly so much it is difficult to keep from going into oncoming traffic especially if road is a little rough, engine has a constant spark knock, nearly imposible to tow or plow, power steering pump went out while trying to plow for no apparent reason at all. I have talked to mechanics about the sparkknock and recommended burning high octane but the manual suggests it will actually run worse and they are not responable for engine damage from spark knock, wondering was admitted by the service manager and said it is acceptable by Dodge and that's just how they drive, I asked one of the mechanics to look at it before I bought it because I didn't know if maybe I was just used to driving my old one, he said it needed a little time to break-in because it was a 2500 with a heavy duty suspension, it is still the same after almost 11,000 miles.
