SERVICE BRAKES
UPON HITTING A BUMP, HUMP, OR HOLE IN THE PAVEMENT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO VIBRATE AND MOVE SIDE TO SIDE UNEXPECTEDLY; THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES AND BOUNCES VIOLENTLY UNTIL SPEED REDUCES TO NEAR STOP. BRAKES AND STEERING ARE NEAR INEFFECTIVE UNTIL THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPS. IT FEELS AS IF THE WHOLE FRONT END IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVER CONTROL IS SEVERELY COMPROMISED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8-10 TIMES IN TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. IT IS ALWAYS UNEXPECTED WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE BECOME VERY UNEASY ABOUT ROAD TRIPS IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP ONE MORE TIME AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN TWO DAYS AGO. I HAVE ONLY 700 MILES OF WARRANTY LEFT. PAST TRIPS TO DODGE DEALERSHIPS HAVE GIVEN NO RELIEF WITH THE COMMENT ALWAYS BEING "WE COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR WHEN WE TEST DROVE THE TRUCK, AND ALL FRONT SUSPENSION TOLERANCES ARE CORRECT". *TR
