Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 dodge 3500 4x4 dually taking my newborn daughter to the doctor when i hit a small bump in the passing lane of the freeway and my steering wheel was almost shaken out of my hands i had no choice but to immediately slow down from 70 mph (speed limit) to almost 50 mph with traffic on all sides of me. I almost hit two cars and was almost hit by a semi truck in my attempts to get my vehicle under control. The same thing has happened to me multiple times if i go over 65 mph when i asked the dealer ship about they said that since my warranty was over at 36000 miles i would have to purchase the new and improved parts for it. I think it should be a recall for a safety issue because now i have to come up with 800 dollars so i can feel safe driving my family around.
