Description of the problem	In july 2014, traveling along a 2 lane highway, we hit a bump in the road and the truck started to violently shake to the point where we had to come to a complete stop on the road. Scared the entire family as we got out to see if we had a tire failure. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Continued on the vacation and had it occur 3-5 more times while in the truck. While on vacation, had the steering damper(stabilizer) and rotated the tires but that did not fix the problem. Upon return home, took it to a non-chrysler service center as the local dodge dealer was 3 weeks out on getting the truck in. They replaced both upper and lower tie rods joints, wheel bearings and aligned the vehicle. $2000 approximate cost plus the steering stabilizer and no fix. Took the truck on another extended trip on 4/3 and had it occur again. When i called chrysler dealer today (4/6), the service advisor was unaware of any problems with this truck and advised me to bring it in which i will do next week. It still has the passenger air bag recall out on it. All previous recalls have been inspected by chrysler service centers. This is a very dangerous situation and i fear that allowing the truck on the highway dangers not only me and my family but other motorists traveling near us.
