NHTSA Complaint #10470281 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

ON A ROAD TRIP I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HIT A SMALL LIGHT DECAL THAT DELINEATES THE LINES ON THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND SO SEVERELY THAT I NEARLY LOST CONTROL. BRAKING DID NOT STOP THE SHAKING, NOT ACCELERATING UNTIL IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 35 MPH DID STOP THE SHAKING. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I WAS TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE I DECIDED THAT I WOULD DRIVE AGAIN BUT AT A SLOWER PACE. THIS TIME I DROVE AT 55 MPH AND WHEN IT HIT A TINY BUMP AGAIN IT BEGAN TO SHAKE HORRIBLY AGAIN. AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS STRESSED BEYOND BELIEF THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THIS TRUCK. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IF THERE IS ANY RUFFNESS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND FIX THEM. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE GOOD QUALITY AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A PIECE OF JUNK THAT I CANNOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 35 MPH FOR FEAR THAT I WILL KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. AND I REFUSE TO SELL THIS LEMON TO SOME OTHER POOR SOUL. *TR
