Consumer Description

FROM 55MPH AND ABOVE IF A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS HIT, SMALL OR LARGE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SHACK UNCONTROLLABLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK. I INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET HIGH PERFORMANCE FRONT STABILIZER THAT PREVENTED THE DEATH RUMBLE FROM OCCURRING. THIS WORKED FOR 50-60 THOUSAND MILES. THE DEATH RUMBLE HAS RETURNED. I BOUGHT ANOTHER AFTER MARKET STABILIZER HOWEVER IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE THIS TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE DODGE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I PAID 50,000 FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY FOR 40 OF THE 90THOUSAND MILES. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SENT MY TRUCK TO DODGE TO NO PREVAIL. HELP! *TR
