Consumer Description

DEATH WOBBLE/ HAPPENED 3X ONCE PULLING A TRAILER/ DODGE DEALER TOLD ME NO RECALL ON MINE. TO AVOID GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT I PAID A PROFESSIONAL DODGE MECHANIC OUT OF POCKET OVER $1000.00 TO REBUILD COMPLETE FRONT END, ALL COMPONENTS. STILL HAPPENED SO HE RESORTED TO AN XTRA HEAVY DUTY AFTER MARKET STEERING STABILIZER CALLED A RANCHO. THEN PUT A NEW STEERING GEAR BOX ON AND A NEW SET OF MICHELIN TIRES AND IT HASN'T OCCURRED SINCE. HOWEVER I'M OUT OF POCKET ABOUT $2500.00. NOT A WORD FROM CHRYSLER OR A DIME IN RESTITUTION. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE NOW THAT I'VE DISCOVERED THIS AGREEMENT WITH NTSBA & FIATCHRYSLER. A WORD FROM CHRYSLER WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE SINCE I OWN 5 2007 PKUPS 1 2012 DURANGO & A 1999 DODGE RAM 3500. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS ON HERE BUT I CAN DOCUMENT ALL OF THIS AND TESTIMONY FROM 1 CERTIFIED DODGE MECHANIC AND ANOTHER COLORADO CERTIFIED FRONT END SPECIALIST. IF IT'S NEEDE I CAN MAIL COPIES OF RECEIPTS OR CONTACT ONE OF THESE LEMON LAWYERS I JUST READ ABOUT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH DODGE : I REALLY LIKED THEM BUT AM UNSURE NOW OF THEIR SAFETY. IT ALWAYS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH, ALWAYS IN A CURVE AFTER HITTING A BUMP. ONCE PUT ME IN THE MEDIUM WITH A TRAILER LOAD OF HAY. STILL WONDERING HOW I DIDN'T KILL SOMEBODY.
