NHTSA Complaint #10639303 — 2007 DODGE RAM 1500

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON I 81 IN VIRGINIA I RAN INTO SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT. THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN BOUNCING CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BRIEFLY. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP AND ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEM ON SEEMINGLY EVERY EXPANSION JOINT OR EVERY BRIDGE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION, MASSACHUSETTS. I DID NOT MAKE IT HOWEVER AS THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY SPUN OUT ON I95 IN CT SLAMMING INTO A GUARD RAIL. I REPLACED THE FRONT STRUTS, ASSUMING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. IT WAS NOT. IT IS NOT THE ALIGNMENT NOR THE TIRES. ALL WERE CHECKED. AFTER THE REPAIRS FROM THE ACCIDENT,THEN PARTS THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
