Consumer Description

I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY IN MY DODGE RAM 2500 2008 TRUCK, WHILE I WAS AT 50 MPH MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING GROWLING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE AND I HEARD EXPLOSIVE NOISES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK. MY SPEED DROPPED TO 25 MPH AND I COULD SEE FROM MY SIDE MIRROR CAR PARTS EXPLODING OFF THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF OTHER VEHICLES WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND DRIVING. THIS A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH SO I HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE SERVICE LANE LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE BUT I BARELY AVOID A LARGE PETROLEUM TRUCK FROM CRUSHING MY TRUCK WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A HOMICIDE BECAUSE HE WAS BLOWING HIS HORN AND COULD NOT STOP IN TIME. THE CAR DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE INVESTIGATING ITS HAS NOW BEEN 4 DAYS AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET CALLED CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER WAITING TO HEAR BACK ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY TRUCK. I ONLY KNOW SOME OF THE PARTS DAMAGED ON THE TRUCK
