NHTSA Complaint #10562706 — 2004 DODGE RAM 2500

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SEE MY DOCTOR IN WALTHAM ,MA. AND I TRAVEL THE MA.TURNPIKE AT 67MPH, AND EVERY BRIDGE SPAN OR BUMP IN THE ROAD SURFACE THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I WENT TO THE BRAKE DOWN LANE AND BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A DEAD STOP. IN THE 166 MILES FROM MY HOME TO THE DOCTOR OFFICE AND BACK HOME AGAIN I HAD TO STOP THIS TRUCK 15 TIMES. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD TO PAY $1,699.31FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSE BY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT NO ONE WANT TO REPLACE UNDER WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT BECAUSE OF THE YEAR AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE PART THAT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND EVEN AFTER I PAY THE FIRST REPAIR BILL THE TRUCK STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM UNTIL THE MECHANIC TIGHTEN THE BOLTS ON THE PART. THE TRUCK IS STILL HANDLING THE SAME AS BEFORE IT WAS FIX. AND BECAUSE I HAVE HAD MAJOR SURGERY I WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL THAT ROAD MANY TIMES BEFORE I,M HEALED. BECAUSE I'M ON WORKMAN COMP. I HAVE LIMITED FUNDS TO LIVE ON AND I REALLY WORRY WHEN I DRIVE THAT TRUCK AS I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER WANT TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL SOMEONE IS HURT OR DEAD. *TR
