Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 RAM 2500 WITH 20,000 MILES. WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACK THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY THAT YOU NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS ON THE NEW YORK THRUWAY TRAVELING AT 70 AND HIT A BUMP AND COULDN'T EVEN SEE STRAIGHT IT WAS WOBBLING SO BAD. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY WIFE WILL NOT USE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IS TERRIFIED OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED MANY RAM TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD RESULT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
