Consumer Description

TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON GALEN ROAD IN LAFAYETTE TENNESSEE AT 45MPH I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP I LATER CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE WHICH WAS GOOD I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE STEERING. UPON MORE INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THE SLANG FOR THIS IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE.. AFTER SPENDING 60,000.00 ON THIS TRUCK I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF A PERMANENT FIX . *TR
