1 Brake Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge RAM

Failure Date: 06/05/2011

While driving down the highway pulling our gooseneck trailer I hit a bump on the highway. Once I hit the bump the truck began to shake uncontrollably and the steering wheel was ripped from my hands. I could not hold on to the steering wheel. Depressing the brake pedal only made the truck jerk to one side very quickly. All I could do was down shift the transmission and use the trailer brakes lightly to slow down. I had no steering control at all. While slowing down I ran 3 cars off the road on to the shoulder due to not being able to steer the truck at all. I could have easily killed myself and anyone else on the highway at that time. The truck is currently at stanley-lynd autoplex in cameron texas undergoing "repairs". The service manager, mechanic and the dealership owner all stated and agreed that there is no known cause and no known repair to keep this from happening again. This is a very serious life and safety hazard. The truck continued to do this "death wobble" as it was named at the dealership at anytime the truck encountered a bump, expansion joint or un even pavement.

2 Brake Light On problem of the 2007 Dodge RAM

Failure Date: 09/05/2006

The brake light on my truck had come on. I had taken the truck into the dealership to investigate the cause. This week while hauling a trailer behind the truck, the whole break caliper fell off of the truck. The bolts had not broken, but were simply gone. I had no brakes at all, almost causing a wreck. The dealership and Chrysler were both contacted regarding the problem. The response was that brakes are not covered past 18,000 miles. The issue with the truck is not due to normal wear and tear. The brake shoes are in good condition. The brake mechanism simple fell off of the truck. This also was explained and the company said that it would not be covered under warranty.
