Consumer Description

I OWN AN 08 DODGE RAM 2500 WITH APPROX 970 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF ROAD BUMPS, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE AND WOBBLE. I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE DUE TO A NEAR LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. AFTER COMPLETELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I RESUMED SPEED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON MY VEHICLE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND THAT "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" YIELDED OVER 35K HITS. THERE IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH LARGE RAM TRUCKS THAT, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH IS NOT BEING ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER - A COMMON REPLACEMENT ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. SYMPTOMS, HOWEVER, CONTINUE TO EXIST AFTER THIS PART IS REPLACED - ANOTHER COMMON THEME ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. *TR
