I have found numerous complaints of the same problem nationwide on the internet. Dodge bought back 32 vehicles from the state of maine for the same reason. Is anyone at the nhtsa looking into this? I have video of the problem showing a violent high speed wobble and bounce of the front-end. The video was taken from a second vehicle as i traveled at about 70 mph. |
