I had to drop my truck off for some warranty work. Their is a TSB for defective torrsion bar adjusters,door actuators,and air distribution actuator cam and linkage. I am also haveing them check the front caliper and lower bal joint. P.S. I have 15,544 mile on this truck and I think that the front rotor's are warped!!! Guess dodge does not want repeat buyers????

Most domestic vehicles use the cheapest damn rotors you could ever imagine. I've got 12.5K miles on my 2002 Dak, but no warpage yet. And you might as well purchase some higher grade rotors yourself through Speedtweaks or another place, beacuse they (dealer or even Brake-O , Midas) are going to charge you the same price as aftermarket to use the crappy OEM ones again. I know, I've been there before...

Ya, I am going to let them get a little worse. I will probably turn them first. I would like to get another 12,000 off of them. I will end up getting some nice after market ones. I need to save up for them first. The truck is starting to get real disapointing. I am still going to try to get 10 years out of it but will probably not buy another domestic vechile ever again. This is my second domestic vechile and it is already giveing me problems. I might add that the previous domestic vechile was a nightmare. 85 Ford Tempo. I had to rebuild the engine at 50,000 miles. The dealership gave me a Dodge Interpid as a loaner car. What a pile of junk!!!! The car has 76,000 miles on it and the steering wheel moves a couple of inches up and down when you hit bumps. The car sqeaks and rattles standing still at idle and get worse as you drive. The seats are awful and move fore and aft as you acelerate. The cabin noise level is loud.The door actuators are noisy and one deos not work at all it just makes a grinding noise. The list goes on and on. The only good thing's I can say about this car is that the engine and transmission seems to be in good shape and the A/C is twice as cold as our Trucks!
