Consumer Description

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN CALIFORNIA, AFTER HITTING A MINOR ROAD BUMP, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FRONT WHEELS WERE MOVING IN AND OUT OF PLANE (VERTICALLY) AND FELT LIKE THEY WERE BOUNCING ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE,. AND IS NOT RELIEVED BY ANY COMPONENT REPLACEMENT OR MAINTENANCE ITEM REPAIR. .THIS IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND REQUIRES SOME EXPERTISE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER TO DESIGN A REPAIR TO CHANGE THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF A DRIVER IS UNAWARE OF IT'S IMPENDING CHANCE OF OCCURRING.. I LIVE WITH THIS DANGER EVERY DAY AND AM AWAITING SOME INFORMATION ON HOW TO REPAIR. THE ONLY LIKELY REPAIR IS PROBABLY AN AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION UPGRADE TO CHANGE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM DYNAMICS. *TR
