NHTSA Complaint #10296516 — 2006 DODGE RAM 3500

2006 DODGE MEGA CAB 3500 (4) WHEEL DRIVE DUALLY STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE 215 IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA. AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP THE TRUCK THREW ME AND MY WIFE SIDE TO SIDE IN OUR SEATS WHILE GOING ABOUT 68MPH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY WIFE HAD HIT HER HEAD AGAINST THE TRUCKS WINDOW DUE TO THE TRUCK MOVING SO VIOLENTLY. I LATER TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE HEAVY DUTY DODGE TRUCKS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ITS STEERING. MY TRUCK HAD PAST THE WARRANTY BY 5000 MILES AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1000.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE WITH MORE HEAVY DUTY COMPONENTS. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURES PROBLEM, THEN WHY ARE PEOPLE PAYING FOR THIS? AND IS DODGE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY CATEGORIZE THIS AS A RECALL? MY TRUCK WHICH IS BRAND NEW IS CURRENTLY IN OPERABLE, AND IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GIVE UP A $1000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX A MANUFACTURES DESIGN FAULTS. *TR
