Consumer Description

2003 DODGE 3500 FOUR DOOR PICKUP 4X4 FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER ROUGH PATCHES OF INTERSTATE. EVERYTHING SHAKES, FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS COMING APART. WITNESSES SAY THE FRONT WHEELS ARE STEERING LEFT TO RIGHT RAPIDLY, HOWEVER IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE BOUNCING OFF OF THE PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH. WHEN I SLOW TO 40 MPH THE SHAKING STOPS. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS SHAKING.*AK
