NHTSA Complaint #10691071 — 2008 DODGE RAM 1500

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH WHEN MY 4WL LITE FLASHED,I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY TRUCK JERKED VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH RIGHT AFTER THE LOUD NOISE. I THEN HAD TO GET ACROSS TWO LANES OF SPEEDING FREEWAY TRAFFIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. AFTER I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CALMED MY NERVES, I DID DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND DISCOVERED THAT MY TRUCK HAD SHIFTED ITSELF INTO FOUR WHEEL LOW AT 70 MPH. I LIMPED MY TRUCK HOME, STUCK IN FOUR WHEEL LOW, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT TO MY DODGE DEALER. ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER AND NUMEROUS TRIPS BACK TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS WARRANTY WORK FIXED, AND OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED AND CHRYSLER CONSIDERS THE CASE CLOSED. I'M AFRAID NOW AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO TAKE MY TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AS I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. *TR
