| Vehicle has a death wobble, dealerships keep replacing steering damper, three times since 2009, it comes on unexpectedly, the problem is in the front end, just turned 40,000 miles, i will not allow anyone to drive this truck, it is an accident waiting to happen, dodge dealerships will not resolve the issue correctly. thus why it has only 40k on it. i do not want to even drive it over 45 mph. it has the problem again, i would like to trade it in, but do not want to give someone this headache. i will not even drive with my children in this truck. also have had egr valve issues. please force dodge to do something before someone that does not know how to handle vehicles like this get behind the wheels and kills a family. thank you. *tr | |||
