| Description of the problem | I had bought my 2500 dodge ram back in june of 2003. I had owned the vehicle for about 5 months when i was on the expressway going 75mph and the truck started shaking violently out of control. I had to pull over to stop the vibrations. I brought it in to dodge and they said they couldn't replicate the problem and everything looked fine. I continued to drive the vehicle thinking this was a freak occurrence. Then about 1 month ago i was once again driving aroun 60mph hit a bump and the vehivle started shaking out of control. This happened 5 times in three days( as i was driving a lot those days). I brought it in to dodge and they gave me a hard time, but ended up replacing the trackbar and steering stabilizer. They said they don't know if this will fix the problem or not. Now i feel that the car is unsafe to drive and have heard many other folks complaining about this shaking as well. *ak |
