NHTSA Complaint #10310028 — 2003 DODGE RAM 1500

I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE ON 144 IN TULSA OKLAHOMA WHEN I FELT MY RIGHT WHEEL STARTING SHAKING REAL BAD SO I STARTED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD , WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL JUST FELL OFF WITH THE BRAKE AND ROTOR INTACT. I HAD JUST PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS EARLIER AND ONLY HAD 43,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO GET A WRECKER TO TAKE IT TO A SPECIALIST IN BROKEN ARROW WHERE HE HAD A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE COME LOOK AT IT AND STATED THAT MODEL HAD A DEFECT IN IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPEN AT THAT MILEAGE. HE SAID THERE WAS NO WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TIRES TO PROVE WORE OUT PARTS. ALSO MY CONCERN IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS TYPE OF TRUCK WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED. IF THIS INCIDENT HAD HAPPEN DURING 5 O'CLOCK RUSH HOUR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THINGS LIKE THIS TAKEN CARE. *TR
