NHTSA Complaint #10684044 — 2004 DODGE RAM 2500

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE". THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN THE FIRST TIME WAS. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED/ REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER MULTIPLE TIMES JUST TO GET THE RUNAROUND EVERY TIME. THIS LAST TIME 02/16/2015, THEY HAD ME DRIVING 30 MINUTES TO THEIR SHOP, IN TREACHEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSED BY 5 INCHES OF SLEET AND SNOW RECEIVED THE NIGHT BEFORE. THEN THEY ENDED UP WASTING OVER 3 HOURS OF MY TIME/DAY BY NOT DOING ANY WORK AT ALL TO MY TRUCK THE WHOLE TIME IT SAT IN THEIR SHOP AND TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY IN EXCESS OF $575 FOR ANY WORK THEY WAS GOING TO DO. I HAD ALREADY REBUILT THE ENTIRE FRONT END IN MID 2013 AND IN 2014 I DUMPED $10000 INTO REBUILDING THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT BLEW 4 OF THE 6 COMPRESSION RINGS FOR SOME REASON, I CAN'T AFFORD TO REBUILD THE WHOLE FRONT END.......AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND HAS HAD HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER IT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS THE PARTS TO FIX IT, SO WHY WON'T THEY JUST DO IT? DOESN'T CHRYSLER CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS? *TR
