Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My trucks steering wheel pulsates when driving at speed above 40 mph and unbearably at speeds of 60 to 65. when driving the truck it will shimmy and shake violently when going over any road service that is not perfectly flat. i will no longer operate this vehicle with my wife or children in the car. no one should attempt to tow with this vehicle. the pulsation throughout out the truck will get you sick. you will feel as though you are about to lose control of your vehicle at any moment due to its instability. after a half hours use in traffic my brakes heat up and feel like a car with the abs being activated everytime you touch the brake. my dealer has made five attempts to fix this truck, they tried to blame good year for the composition of the tire. i have taken the truck to a good year dealer and they concluded the tires are fine and there is no unusual wear pattern, i had the same tires on my durango. i have only 8,000 miles on my truck and feel i have spent to much time trying to be a test for dodge to correct its engineering mistakes. i am going to begin the lemon law paperwork. please make dodge try to correct this problem before some is seriously injured or killed. *nm
