| Description of the problem | Traveling in a residential road at 30 mph and hit a small bump in the road which caused uncontrollable violent feedback from steering wheel and forced my vehicle into the median. I purchased new shocks and dual steering stabilizer to possibly remedy the problem to no avail. I dropped vehicle at galeana dodge of ft myers florida after viewing multiple recalls pertinent to my situation. They called and said that the recall only includes an inspection. Even after my explanation of not being able to drive over 30 mph because of regularly occurring "death wobble" i was told that there is nothing they can do regarding the multiple recalls. I feel that the vehicle is unsafe to drive and the manufacturer, through galeana dodge, should replace all the fault prone steering components. The dodge ram 2500 is currently at the dealer awaiting my pickup. |
