| Description of the problem | Bad front end vibration {death wobble} i have had this problem with this truck for about a year and spent about $3000. 00 on it with the {new and improved steering linkage} that came from dodge and i still have death wobble. I talked to someone named [xxx] in customer support and she said to take it to dodge. I just got it back from pro chrysler jeep in northgleen colorado where they told me to keep a full tank of gas and 65 lbs of air in the tires and i wont have the problem. I still have the problem.. This truck is a death trap when it starts shaking. I got stuck between a semi truck and a cement barrier when it went nuts and almost caused a huge crash on i70 and the tunnel. I want dodge to do a safety recall on this truck and any others that have this problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *js |
