Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, THE ISSUE BECAME APPARENT AS ENTRY INTO A CURVE BEGAN. THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE (2008 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 1500) BECAME LESS RESPONSIVE WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF VIBRATION. AS THE CURVE IN THE ROAD STRAIGHTENED OUT A LOUD POP CAME FROM DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR AXLE AREAS. WITCH ALSO CREATED A LARGE UNCONTROLLABLE BODY ROLL AND SWAY. HOWLING NOISE IS GREATLY APPARENT AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WITH THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE FEELS UN-SOLID AND CONSTANT BODY ROLL FEELS AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING ON A BOAT. MANY ITEMS RECALLED ON OTHER DODGE VEHICLES DURING SAME YEAR, BUT NOT ON THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION, HAVE THE ABILITY TO CASE THE SAME ISSUES. THIS COULD CREATE A TRAGIC AND CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF LIFE IN THE VEHICLE OF FAILED PARTS OR THE FAMILY NEXT TO THEM ON THE ROAD. "DRIVE SAFE, BECAUSE TODAY COULD BE THE DAY YOU SAVE YOUR FAMILY'S LIFE". *TR
