Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE SO CALLED " DEATH WOBBLE" 4 TIMES NOW ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND I'M WAITING TO TAKE IT AGAIN TODAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FIXED IT EACH TIME BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVEN'T. OUT OF THE BLUE AT 60 TO 65 MPH THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT UNTIL IT STOPS ON IT'S OWN. HITTING THE BRAKES, LETTING OFF THE GAS OR FLOORING IT (AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO) WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT LAST TIME DOESN'T HELP. I AM SO AFRAID THAT SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM BY BACK THE TRUCK BUT THEY SAID IT HAS HAD THE RECALL DONE ON IT SO IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE. WELL WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING THEN.
