1998 Dodge Ram SLT review from North America
"A total lemon!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. It is a gas hog with no power
2. It shakes when traveling down the road, and it shakes violently when coming to a stop. $2,000.00 worth of brake repair later and it still shakes bad. Dealer hesitates greatly to repair since they think it is bad brakes and brakes are not warranted after 12 months.
3. Rear seals leaked into rear brakes. That is when the shaking started.
4. Only 32,000 miles and the front u-joints were loose and the steering track bar and steering linkage was already worn. This truck has never left the road.
General comments?
This truck is a serious piece of junk. I will never step foot inside a dodge dealer again!!!
