| Description of the problem | Death wobble/ happened 3x once pulling a trailer/ dodge dealer told me no recall on mine. To avoid getting in an accident i paid a professional dodge mechanic out of pocket over $1000. 00 to rebuild complete front end, all components. Still happened so he resorted to an xtra heavy duty after market steering stabilizer called a rancho. Then put a new steering gear box on and a new set of michelin tires and it hasn't occurred since. However i'm out of pocket about $2500. 00. Not a word from chrysler or a dime in restitution. Do i have any recourse now that i've discovered this agreement with ntsba & fiatchrysler. A word from chrysler would have been nice since i own 5 2007 pkups 1 2012 durango & a 1999 dodge ram 3500. I don't know how to send documents on here but i can document all of this and testimony from 1 certified dodge mechanic and another colorado certified front end specialist. If it's neede i can mail copies of receipts or contact one of these lemon lawyers i just read about. Thanks for your time and attention to this very disappointing experience with dodge : i really liked them but am unsure now of their safety. It always happened at about 50-55 mph, always in a curve after hitting a bump. Once put me in the medium with a trailer load of hay. Still wondering how i didn't kill somebody. |
