| Description of the problem | My husband and i just bought a 2008 dodge 3500 mega cab 4x4 4 weeks ago when you reach speeds of 60-70 mph and hit a normal bump in the road the truck starts to shake uncontrollably until you come to an almost complete stop. The truck has 50,000 on it and in the past 4 weeks of owning it has done it 4 or 5 times and almost caused a very bad wreck something is wrong with these trucks they need fixed. The dealer is giving us the run around about fixing it. *kb |
