| Description of the problem | Death shake has almost caused 4 accidents for me. I have been trying to get my truck fixed since 2005 dodge has yet to offer any help. Any time i hit any small bump, pot hole, break in the road going over 50mph the truck enters a violent shake. I have to pull over to the side of the road and slow down to stop the shake. This is extremely dangerous in any type of traffic. The dodge dealerships have not offered any assistance other than telling me to spend thousands to replace parts that might not even fix the issue. *kb |
