TRUCK EXHIBITS SERIOUS PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. BEEN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, REPLACING ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM, SPENT $2000+ ON REPAIRS, PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS THEN COMES BACK. TRUCK CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN BECAUSE THE BRAKE PULL IS SO SERIOUS. HITTING THE BRAKES CAN MAKE THE TRUCK CHANGE LANES TO THE LEFT (ONCOMING TRAFFIC). CANNOT AFFORD TO DUMP MORE MONEY INTO REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM REPAIRABLE (OUT OF WARRANTY). SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET OF SAME PROBLEM. DODGE MUST ISSUE A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAKING LEMONS OUT OF 4-5 YEAR OLD TRUCKS. PLEASE HELP.
