| Description of the problem | On october 25, 2015 around 11:00 am while driving 65-70 mph on the pa turnpike near allentown area (some minor road defects appeared to be in the roadway, weather conditions good) the vehicle violently shook as if all the tires were basketballs. Had to hold onto steering wheel as best as i could from all the shaking while applying brakes but the vehicle would not slow down. This is the fourth time this has happened with this vehicle after. We checked with the dodge dealer to see if there were any recalls on anything similar and they told us no. So we began replacing tires, shocks, steering shaft and steering box, front stabilizer shock, left front ball joints and u joint, new brakes and rotors all the way around and the ones we took off were still very new looking, service station wanted to know if we wanted to keep them, we said no. The first time it happened was almost in the same area as 10/25/15 while traveling to tennessee so we did not travel over 60 mph, then again traveling back to pa, this was when we changed out the aforementioned parts, the third time happened while our son was driving 60 mph on route 33 in easton, pa. There has to be something seriously wrong!! I just thank god my husband was driving because i would not have been able to get it under control.. We would appreciate it very much if you could investigate this issue. Thank you |
