Consumer Description

DRIVING ALONG A BUSY INTERSTATE AT 65MPH, AFTER GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING BECAME SO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE. LATER READ IT IS KNOWN AS THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. SEEMS IT HA HAPPENED TO MORE THAN JUST THIS DODGE OWNER ON A STOCK TRUCK. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL, IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY REACT? WHY BE REACTIVE WHEN YOU CAN BE PROACTIVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN NOTED. *TR
