Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO ALONG INTERSTATE 25 AT RATON PASS, WE HIT A BUMP AT ABOUT 50-60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE. STEERING COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED, I JUST APPLIED BRAKES UNTIL WE CAME TO A STOP. I AM GOING TO TAKE INTO A DODGE SERVICE DEPT., BUT I'VE ALREADY BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS TRAVELING BEHIND US THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE FRONT END DESIGN ISSUES. I HOPE THIS ISN'T TRUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD EASILY END UP WITH CASUALTIES OR SERIOUS INJURIES. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING, AND IN AN INSTANT THE VEHICLE GOES WILDLY OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER COMING TO STOP THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS AND DRIVES NORMALLY. *TR
