| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a 2002 dodge ram 1500. while driving at approximately 40 mph i heard a low humming noise. suddenly the truck veered to the left. i was now in incoming traffic and narrowly missed one car. i tried to get the truck back to the right. the steering wheel had a lot of play in it. the truck fishtailed back to the right only to veer again to the left. i had no control of the vehicle. i was hit by a car, ran up a lawn, hit a tree and flipped the truck. both myself and the driver of the car suffered minimal physical injuries. both vehicles were totaled. it is my understanding that there is a class-action lawsuit against daimler chrysler involving this same problem with the dodge durangos. i believe that my vehicle had the same problem. *nm |
