| Description of the problem | Driving home i hit a pot hole at 65 miles an hour when the trucks front end started shaking violently. I had to slow down to about 35 miles an hour to get control. Its been a regular occurrence ever since. I have taken it to the dealership and they say nothing is wrong. I have researched and spent over $1000. 00 on parts. Apparently it is a common problem with dodge known as the "death wobble" that dodge fails to acknowledge or take responsibility for. |
