SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING IN MY TRUCK WITH MY FRIEND ON SR 101. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 60 MPH. WE WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD OVER A CONCRETE BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT WHERE THE PAVEMENT CHANGED LEVELS. THE TRUCK JUMPED AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING AND FORCED ME INTO PASSENGER SIDE GUARD RAIL OF THE BRIDGE. THE VIBRATING CONTINUED UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH. THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT WAS FIXED WITH NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, A.K.A. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WITH SKEPTICISM. HE KNEW OF NO RECALLS AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE ESCAPED INJURY TO THIS POINT. THIS IS MY 1ST POSTING. PLEASE HELP. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I BOUGHT A 2012 RAM 2500 CREW CAB 4X4 MADE IN MEXICO 10TH MONTH OF 2011. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK DEC 28TH 2011 NEW. THE TRUCK WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND UNDER A LOAD YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. UNDER A LOAD, IT WANTS TO DART ALL OVER THE ROAD IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING HOOKED TO THE BUMPER. TOOK THE TRUCK TO 3 DODGE DEALERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ABOVE PROBLEM. DODGE SAYS THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK WHATSOEVER. BUT, AFTER HOOKING THE TRAILER TO MY 2009 GMC DIESEL WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL TOWING I KNEW IT WAS THE DODGE TRUCK THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. DODGE STILL DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS DODGE TRUCK. I TOOK THE DODGE TO A FRAME SHOP. THE FRAME SHOP CALLED ME IN LESS THAN A HOUR REQUESTING THAT I RETURN TO THE SHOP, SO THEY COULD SHOW ME THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS OFF FROM PLUS 5 MM TO MINUS 23 MM OFF CENTER. THE REAR END IS SITTING ABOUT AN INCH CLOSER ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER MAKING THE TRUCK WANT TO TURN LEFT ALL THE TIME. THE BED ON THE TRUCK SITS CROOKED TO THE CAB. DODGE STILL DON'T WANT TO FIX THE TRUCK. I HIRED A LAWYER BUT DODGE HAS NOT REPLIED. I THINK IT IS TIME THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STEPPED IN ON THIS MATTER. BECAUSE I HAVE A FACTORY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
