| Description of the problem | I was driving from detroit airport east on highway 94 when my truck started to shake like hell and i thought i had two flat tires in the front. I hit the brakes and the truck become un steerable and started to turn sideways with two lanes of traffic coming at me. This was a very scary ride. I pulled over after i downshifted and the shaking stopped but there was nothing flat or loose that i could see several other drivers stopped to see what had happened. I called a local dodge dealer and was told that i most have bad brake rotors. I have changed the rotors on all 4 wheels the front wheel bearings the shocks the front stabilizer shock and new brake pads on all 4 wheels still shakes just as bad . I have had several close calls and i want a fix or i will buy a new ford truck. The bad part of this, is that i retired after 44years with chrysler. |
