NHTSA Complaint #10176874 — 2006 DODGE RAM 2500

I OWN A 2006 DODGE 1 TON CREW CAB TRUCK. DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE WHEEL BOUNCING WHEN A HIT A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. I CONTACT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER, THEY LOOK AT IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON DECEMBER 20, 2006 I HIT A BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE AT NEARLY 70 MILES PER HOUR THAT PUT MY TRUCK INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE, NEARLY HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME AND SLIDE SIDEWAYS TO A STOP. VERY LUCKY THAT OTHERS WERE NOT HIT OR THAT I DID NOT ROLL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO SPRINGFIELD, MO AND TOOK IT TO CENTRAL DODGE. THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER INCIDENTS INVOLVING THIS PART WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK. THEY CHANGE THE PART AND THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, BUT SOMETHING WAS TROUBLING AS THE TECH SAID HE WOULD REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING STIFFER AND STRONGER AS THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE IT WITH A FACTORY PART THAT HE SAID HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IS NOT BIG ENOUGH. *NM
