Description of the problem | Traveling west bound on galen road in lafayette tennessee at 45mph i hit a small bump in the road and experienced a violent shaking in the front end that would not stop until i brought the vehicle to a stop i later checked the tire pressure which was good i believe there is a defect in the steering. Upon more investigation i found out the slang for this is called the death wobble.. After spending 60,000. 00 on this truck i believe chrysler should be responsible for taking care of a permanent fix . |
