| Description of the problem | Was driving on us 119 in wv traveling at about 65 mph and ran over one of the expansions joints on the roadway. Front end of the truck immediately started shaking and wobbling out of control, having to slow down to around 10 or 15 mph to gain control back. Had owned the truck for a few months with no problems until then. I have had garages to tell me to replace this and that to fix problem, being told that dodge was aware of the problem. As of this date i have had nothing done that has fixed problem, it is somewhat better as long as you stay under around 50 mph or so. The truck has done it approximately 15 to 20 times since then, having to slow down almost completely to get control of truck. Since having gone thru this problem, i have read and talked to people about having the same problem with the same model of truck and have found out that i am not alone with this concern about my truck. |
