Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have only had this truck for 2 and half months, only 3800 miles on it. i noticed it was shaking real bad when applying the brakes. i took it into the shop and they had it for 4 days and they told me that they had a tsb that the rear axles and drums needed to be replaced. so they did that and gave it back to me and i had to take it back the same day, because they did not fix it. so.. then they had it for 9 days and i had told them that i was getting real upset about this and the manager look me in my face and asked me what was i going to do about it. you have real good people selling your trucks. but any way. when i was finally called 9 days later, they told me that dodge had to re design the rear plate. there has been a lot of things done to these trucks and nothing is fixing them. look at how many people are having trouble. i also call chrsyler and they never returned my call...i called twice. they refused a loaner or a rental. told me i had to drive it the way it is...maybe until sometime in november...who knows...i don't feel safe driving this truck...i will not put my kids in this truck. i will never deal with waldorf dodge again and i will never buy a dodge again. so much for the consumer there..we have to deal with there mistakes....someone help.........oh yeah i asked for them to buy the truck back and they told me that first they have to may sure it can be fixed so that would beable to resell it...now what kind of service is that....have had it in the shop 2 times now
