Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-15 AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END STARTED BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP IN TRAFFIC, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A BIG ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON MONDAY THIS WEEK AS WELL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND ON BOTH OF THESE OCCASIONS WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. I AM A FEMALE AND TRYING TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE IT JERKED VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH WAS ALMOST NOT DOABLE. WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING A SAFE TRUCK FOR US TO DRIVE? MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT JUST ABOUT ALL OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS IT CRACKS. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR DRIVERS ANYWHERE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?
