Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 05 dodge dakota quad cab in may 2005. approx. 1 month after purchase i started experiencing severe vibration when trying to come to a stop or slow down especially over 40 mph. i took it to the dealership in which i purchased (service dept) and they told me the rear axle is out of factory specs. they replaced my rear axle & drums. this took 5 days. when i picked up the vehicle in mid july, the problem was not fixed. i took it back to the service dept. (it is still there and it has been 12 days) they tell me they have replaced the axle 5 times and the vibration is still there. i contacted diamlerchysler and they are sending a rep. from their office to try and repair. i have already filed for the lemon law (defective vehicle form) as i have been without my vehicle for more than 15 days. still have not heard a thing from the dealership or from daimlerchrysler.
