Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE CASE OF THE DODGE "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME IN TWO MONTHS AND THIS WAS THE WORST YET. I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60. THE LEFT FROM TIRE HIT A SMALL BUMP - MAYBE AN INCH DEEP. THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS NOT CONTROLLABLE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE SHAKING BUT IT KEEP SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS LONG AS IT WAS MOVING. I FINALLY SLID OFF THE ROAD SIDEWAYS AND ENDED UP ON THE SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A GENTLE SHOULDER. IF IT HAD BEEN STEEP I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DEALER AFTER THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS AND HE SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER AS THIS IS A DEATH TRAP. *TR
