Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS 08 DODGE DAKOTA LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME. WE LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA. HE WAS NOT GOING MORE THAN 35-40 MPH. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. LUCKILY, HE WAS CLOSE TO A RARELY USED ROAD AND PULLED OVER. IT WAS UNUSABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC'S SHOP. BOTH TIE RODS HAD BROKEN ALONG WITH OTHER PARTS THAT WERE SEVERELY WORN. WE HAD JUST HAD A BABY LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE AND WE HAD ALL RIDDEN IN THE TRUCK TOGETHER DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THANK THE GOOD LORD MY HUSBAND DID NOT WRECK AND THE BABY AND MYSELF WERE NOT WITH HIM. THE CHRYSLER COMPANY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO FIX FOR A FAMILY WITH A NEW BABY AND VERY, VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR
