Consumer Description

AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP AT 55MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS A "LOSS OF CONTROL" SHUDDER THAT CAUSED ME TO NEARLY LOSE CONTROL TWICE. TODAY A DODGE SERVICE TECHNICIAN LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AFTER HITTING A BUMP. IT TOOK HIM 'QUITE A WHILE' TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION THAT COMES WITH THE OFF-ROAD PACKAGE. I AM USED TO A ROUGH RIDE. LOSS OF CONTROL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT WILL KILL SOMEONE IF NOT RESOLVED.*AK
