| Description of the problem | When driving on highways at 70mph or more if you hit any bumps in the road you get a violent shaking in the front end that is so severe that you have to slow down to about 30mph for it to stop. While this is happening its hard to control the vehicle and to keep it in your lane,its even harder to maneuver around turns. This even has a name for it with front end shops"dodge death wobble" while this is happening all other vehicles tend to move away from you and i've even had people follow me into a gas station to tell me they thought i lost a wheel because of how violent my truck shakes. The dealerships tell me there's nothing wrong and shops say they have changed the entire front ends on vehicles and it still doesn't fix the problems. I feel that this is wrong and dangerous and the nickname is fitting. Please help make dodge fix this dangerous problem. |
