Consumer Description

2008 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB 4X4. I HAD STEERING VIBRATION AND STICKING STEERING AT SLOW SPEEDS SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. I HAD SHOCKS, ALL STEERING LINKAGE, STABILIZER, BUSHINGS, HYDROBOOST UNIT AND PITMAN ARM REPLACED, DUE TO SLOW SPEED STICKING AND "DEATH WOBBLE. " MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 39,000 MILES, SO I REPLACED SHOCKS AND STABILIZER WITH BILSTEINS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. VIBRATION AND STICKING WHEEL (POWER STEERING FAILURE) STILL OCCURS. SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE AT 60+ MPH. NHTSA NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. DODGE CANNOT FIX AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY AFTER YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRES. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS OR WANT YOU TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS THEY CANNOT SOLVE. PLEASE HELP...... *TR
