| Description of the problem | The vehicle had a sever vibration at freeway speeds. Over time the vibration was so sever it caused sever back pain. After driving the vehicle for six months and having m=no option with the manufacturer i have disposed of the truck. The manufacturer knbows about the problem, and they have not disclosed the issues to the public. The problem also manifested as over steering and extreme reaction to road conditions. Chrysler has now added to their owners manual the suggestion to add sand bags to the bed of the truck to make it " ride better". They are not willing to offer any other assistance. I have many letters to document their position and attitude. Dt |
