Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WITH THE FRONT END. IF YOU HIT A BUMP IR A POTHOLE YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH OR POSSIBLE STOP TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. IT WILL VIBRATE ANYTHING OFF THE DASH. FRONT END PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, FRONT END ALIGNED, NEW TIRES, FACTORY RECALL. I NOTIFIED DODGE, OF COURSE THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS.AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I FOUND THAT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN NAMED THE DEATH WOBBLE. ANY DODGE FROM 2003-2008 HAS THIS. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE DODGE ISN'T HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THIS DEATH WOBBLE IS STILL HAPPENING EVERYDAY WHEN A BUMP IS HIT AND IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE WRECK . *TR
