“I was towing my travel trailer and entered a slight left turn at approximately 50mph when my front driver side tire started to shake/wobble uncontrollably. I slowed down and it stopped. Dealership replaced both front hubs and bearings. When I hit a small bump while turning and not towing, it still shakes/wobbles uncontrollably. I notified dealership about it and they still failed to make the repair. The vehicle is still under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11398518, filed 2021-03, 41,000 miles“While driving the truck and turning slightly left, I hit a small bump on the road and my truck started vibrating uncontrollably and I lost the ability to steer the vehicle. The vehicle vibrated so hard that I slid across other lanes of traffic to my right without being able to steer. I brought the vehicle to a complete stop on the side of the road. After the complete stop, I was able to drive and steer the vehicle. Since this incident happened, I have had the same issue happen when I'm driving while turning and hitting a bump. …”
NHTSA complaint #11194498, filed 2019-04, 55,000 miles“I can't drive my tuck due to the face the truck being to shake out of control and I have to pull over . I go the truck home but due to the insane shaking I do not drive the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11082124, filed 2018-03, 35,600 miles“The steering wheel began losing it's function after turning out of my driveway, while I was driving down my street, at approximately 20-25 MPH. It would turn approximately 90 degrees with no affect suddenly. I had it transported to the reno dodge dealership. They at first tried to charge me for a realignment. I took it to another repair shop, and they identified that there was a recall on this issue due to a failure in the 'drag linkage.' I went back to reno dodge and they admitted there is a recall, but they didn't have the updated infirmation from chrysler, so they would nit fix it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180837, filed 2019-02, 29,400 miles“Recall v06 allows welding of adjustable parts. This means when steering needs adjustment in future, the owner is stuck with buying all new parts to replace the welded parts!!! How can you allow this burden being shifted to the owners when FCA caused the problem by not threading the parts correctly?”
