Consumer Description

I WAS GOING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY AND HIT A POTHOLE, WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKE ON TO SLOW DOWN FAST BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD. APPARENTLY AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE VAST POPULATION THAT OWN OLDER MODEL DODGES, IT EVEN HAS A NAME "THE DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAD HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND BEFORE THIS, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER.
