THE RESALE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE HAS PLUMMETED, AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. SO ME THE CONSUMER IS SCREWED OVER.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH, I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROADWAY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPPED WAS TO REDUCE MY SPEED, WHILE I WAS IN A MERGING EXPRESS LANE AND I WAS IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK WITH A FULL LOAD. I HAD TO PUT ON FLASHERS AND DROP SPEED TO 30 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS HAPPENING TO THEM. I HAD MY WIFE WITH ME. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. - 2005 DODGE 3500 RAM LARAMIE OWNER / EAGLE CREEK, OR

I RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FOR FIXES ON MY 2005 DOGE RAM. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR. THE RECALL NOTICES ARE FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING AND A REAR AXLE PINION NUT. IN THE REC ALL NOTICE I WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS. BOTH DEFECTS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. I WANT CHRYSLER TO TAKE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE OFF MY HANDS AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE $12,000 I PAID FOR IT A YEAR AGO. BECAUSE OF THESE DANGEROUS SITUATION I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE OFF MY HANDS AND REIMBURSED ME FOR WHAT I PAID FOR IT SO I CAN PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE!
