Consumer Description

THE DEATH WOBBLE AS DRIVERS OF THESE TRUCKS CALL IT. THE FIX IN 2010 WAS ONLY TEMPORARY FOR MY 2004 DODGE TRUCK. IT ONCE AGAIN IS GOING INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE . DODGE SAYS THE PARTS WERE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS AND WON'T FIX IT AGAIN. DODGE APPARENTLY DIDN'T USE HEAVY ENOUGH PARTS AND AXLES IN THE FIRST PLACE SO DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED OVER AND OVER AND OVER. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE DODGE CONTINUE TO REPLACE THESE PARTS . THERE ARE AND WILL BE MANY DEATHS OVER THESE TRUCKS . IT IS NO WONDER THE AMERICAN VEHICLE MANUF. ARE STRUGGLING. APPARENTLY THE BULLETIN REPAIR MAKES THE TRUCK SAFE FOR ONLY 1 MORE YEAR . THIS ISN'T A POOR A.C OR POWER LOCK PROBLEM IT IS RELATED TO LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL EVERYDAY CONDITIONS WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE MAKE DODGE DO THE RIGHT THING ON THIS ONE AND GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE. JUST HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAS DODGE HAD CONCERNING THIS. ONLY THEY KNOW. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. I CALLED DODGE & THEY ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM! *TR
