| Description of the problem | I am having a violent shake in the front end of my 2004 dodge. This occurs at highway speeds and i have to slow to 50 mph to make it stop. You can imagine towing a trailer on the freeway, surrounded by semi trucks and slowing to 50. This has almost caused several crashes. The dealer is unable to pin point the problem after 2 attempts and i want to use the oklahoma lemon law to get a new truck. I refuse to drive the truck another mile. It isnt safe and it will end up killing me and probably other drivers. I need help...*ak |
